An ace is a playing card. In the standard French deck, an ace has a single suit symbol (a heart, diamond, spade, or club) located in the middle of the card, sometimes large and decorated, especially in the case of the Ace of Spades. This embellishment on the Ace of Spades started when King James VI of Scotland and I of England required an insignia of the printing house to be printed on the Ace of Spades. This insignia was necessary for identifying the printing house and stamping it as having paid the new tax. Although this requirement was abolished in 1960, the tradition has been kept by many card makers.
The word "ace" comes from the Old French word 'as' (from Latin 'as') meaning 'a unit', from the name of a small Roman coin. It originally meant the side of dice with only one mark, before it was a term for a playing card. Since this was the lowest roll of the die, it traditionally meant 'bad luck' in Middle English, but as the ace is often the highest playing card, its meaning has since changed to mean 'high-quality, excellence'. This connotation has seen the word applied to an unreachable tennis serve, a successful fighter pilot and more generally as a person proficient in their field, especially a sporting field.

Ace Ventura is a fictional character, created by screenwriters Jack Bernstein, Tom Shadyac and Steve Oedekerk. Ace was played by Jim Carrey in the films (Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, released in 1994, and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, released in 1995.) He was voiced by Michael Daingerfield (credited as Michael Hall) in the animated television series.
Ace is a Miami-based private detective specializing in the retrieval of missing animals, said to be the son of Ron Ventura and descendant of such as "Ernest Ventura Shackleton" and "Jacques Ventura Costeau". It is not known whether the animated television series was contiguous with the feature-films; but if it was it may take place before them because the only one of his pets to appear in the series is his capuchin monkey, Spike. During the second film, Ace attempts monasticism after a failed rescue attempt of a raccoon; only to be called out of retirement to investigate a missing sacred animal. By the events portrayed in Ace Ventura, Jr. it is established that Ace has disappeared somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle, and never appears in the film itself.
Hardly seems a long time
Just a minute of the day
But the man who stood beside me
More than gave himself away
The food stain on his spotted shirt
A gray beard on his face
A man composed of many names
So I just called him Ace
Chorus:
But Ace can't read and Ace can't write
And he sleeps on a bench at night
A little man the world has left behind
He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet
Makes his living on the street
Never knowing what he's gonna find
Born in Mississippi
Picking cotton as a child
Left soon for the city
Where he heard that life was wild
That was fifty years ago
When nothing's really strange
From a poor dirt farm to dirty streets
Is really not much change
Chorus:
And Ace can't read and Ace can't write
And he sleeps on a bench at night
A little man the world has left behind
He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet
Makes his living on the street
Never knowing what he's gonna find
Go back to the country
No he really can't do that
Wasted years have left him
Nothing but an old straw hat
So he puts it on his head
And waves a last good-bye
No time left to turn around
And no time to ask why
Chorus:
Ace can't read and Ace can't write
And he sleeps on a bench at night
A little man the world has left behind
He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet
Makes his living on the street
Never knowing what he's gonna find
And this old world has left poor Ace behind
It hardly seems a long time just a minute of the day
When the man who stood beside me more than gave himself away
The food stain on his spotted shirt a gray beard on his face
A man composed of many names so I just called him Ace
Ace can't read and Ace can't write and
He sleeps on a bench at night
A little man the world has left behind
He ain't bitter he ain't sweet
Makes his living on the street
Never knowin' what he's gonna find
Born in Mississippi pickin' cotton as a child
Left soon for the city where he heard that life was wild
That was fifty years ago when nothin's really strange
From a poor dirt farm to dirty streets is really not much change
Ace can't read and Ace can't write and
He sleeps on a bench at night
A little man the world has left behind
He ain't bitter he ain't sweet
Makes his living on the street
Never knowin' what he's gonna find
Go back to the country no he really can't do that
Wasted years have left him nothin' but an old straw hat
So he puts it on his head and waves a last good-bye
With no time left to turn around and no time to ask why
Ace can't read and Ace can't write and
He sleeps on a bench at night
A little man the world has left behind
He ain't bitter he ain't sweet
Makes his living on the street
Never knowin' what he's gonna find
This old world has left poor Ace behind

I can't change the way we live today.
It's just a matter of acceptance anyway.
I can't change the pain we have to face.
All our worries in time will fade away.
In time will fade away
I can't change how people think today.
Maybe it's better, there's nothing left to say.
I don't care how people think today.
Maybe it's better, there's nothing left to say.
There's nothing left to say
I don't care about the way we live today.
I'm just a part of the game we have to play.
I don't care what people have to say.
All our worries in time will fade away.
I can't change how people think today.
Maybe it's better, there's nothing left to say.
I don't care how people think today.
Maybe it's better, there's nothing left to say.
There's nothing left to say

She's Got A Look You Want To Know Better

But Her Smile Is All Over The Place
If You Try To Get Her To Stay
You'll Wake Up Alone The Very Next Day
Made For Trouble

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pyjamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
I said to my reflection "Let's get out of this place."
Past the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings, memories of it still keep calling, and calling
But forget it all, I know I will
CHORUS:
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been goin' on, now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people ??????, wishing I was well
I said "It's no occasion
It's no story I can tell"
At my bedside empty pocket, a foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock, alarmed by the seduction
I wish that it would stop
CHORUS
I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune over you
But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue
I asked then my reflection, "Tell me what is there to do?"
Quem não acredita
que temos uma pessoa guardada
uma alma geminada que nos está predestinada
Há quem julgue que não andamos á procura de uma só pessoa
Com quem passar esta vida dura
Mas descobri a cura pra tanta falta de crença
Logo á primeira vista, contigo, na tua presença
Senti a minha energia
colar-se na tua
brincar com a tua
rir rimar e voar com a tua
Tudo parou por momentos
Tudo cessou de existir
Tudo por instantes pra assistir á cena evoluir
Foi um fluir um desfile de pontos em comum
Um alimentar de pontos vitais há muito em jejum
Paixão cresceu em mim, algo bateu forte
E me deixou atordoado por uns tempos sem norte
Espero que a sorte me ajude
a esperança não mude
que a paciencia aguente firme nesta atitude
até que surja ocasião mais oportuna
P'ra união deste poeta com a sua musa
Não sabias disto? Não? Chegou a altura de descobrires
de sentires tenho uma razão a dar-te para sorrires
Tás a ouvir? aquilo que eu te digo que eu te faço qu'eu te mostro q por ti gravo
Tás a ouvir? é isto qu'eu sinto, por ti qu'eu sinto, por ti qu'eu sinto
Queria levar-te numa volta num clube para fora daqui
P'ra longe daqui, hoje, ou quando desse jeito pra ti
Respeito por ti mantenho por enquanto só sonho
em tardes passadas contigo com vista po Douro
Curtia passar o dia deitado, só a olhar,
só a falar-te ao ouvido coisas ditas com arte
Massajar-te com o óleo perfumado a sandalo
enquanto, incenso espalha aroma no meu quarto
Imagino-me a despir-te,
imagino-me a sentir-te,
a beijar-te, a acariciar-te
Nunca fugir, nunca mentir-te,
ver poesia, cds mostrados
Ver nascer o dia contigo e quadros pintar-te,
Fazer graffs com o teu nome, colours ou silver,
Passar isto para a realidade por saber como é incrível
Quando comunico contigo tenho prazer de te ver,
Guardo a tua imagem nos olhos vou mante-la a sorrir,
Luto com tudo e com todos se for preciso mas fico!
Não arredo pé que afinco na convicção do que sinto,
Não sabias disto?
Chegou a altura de descobrires, de sentires, tenho uma razão a dar-te para sorrires.
Tás a ouvir? aquilo que eu te digo que eu te faço qu'eu te mostro q por ti gravo
Tás a ouvir? é isto qu'eu sinto, por ti qu'eu sinto, por ti qu'eu sinto
Tás a ouvir? aquilo que eu te digo que eu te faço qu'eu te mostro q por ti gravo
Tás a ouvir? é isto qu'eu sinto, por ti qu'eu sinto, por ti qu'eu sinto
Queria que visses o mundo diferente do que conheces,
Que vivesses uma vida a sério como a que mereces,
Que me tivesses a teu lado,
Para que acreditasses nas possibilidades de encontrar a felicidade se amasses,
Se visses, que a atracção é bem mais que fatal, mais que local,
O meu interesse em ti é mesmo total,
É platónico, nada existe ninguém sabe, ninguém se apercebe disto,
Que em mim quase não cabe,
Quase expludo, guardo tudo isto bem lá no fundo
Aguardo a tua receita pra trazer ao meu mundo
Não me iludo,
Mas acredito no sentimento
acima de tudo espero que isto fique no pensamento
Que te faça sorrir, vibrar de contentamento,
Parar por um momento, fazer contas ao tempo,
Já perdido sem sentido, acreditas no destino?
Tatuei no braço por saber que me ia encontrar contigo,
Arrepiei-me quando vi pela primeira vez o teu sorriso,
E enquanto escrevo isto arrepio-me quando penso nisso.
Não sabias disto?
Chegou a altura de descobrires, de sentires, tenho uma razão a dar-te para sorrires.
Tás a ouvir? aquilo que eu te digo que eu te faço qu'eu te mostro q por ti gravo
Tás a ouvir? é isto qu'eu sinto, por ti qu'eu sinto, por ti qu'eu sinto
Tás a ouvir? aquilo que eu te digo que eu te faço qu'eu te mostro q por ti gravo
As water laps my feet
And sharks surround me I sleep
You smile and line up your army
But my enemies can't get near me
Because i claimed victory that day, now I'm calm
I have seen in your eyes how much you suffer
With the dark
Where shining stars light the heavens
We satellites hope to reach
And my blackwater reflects them for me
Come on lets make our move
They don't see a thing that they can't see through
But shining stars light the heavens
We satellites can't compete
But tonight the blackwater reflects them for me
Where shining stars light the heavens
We lesser lights hope to reach
And my blackwater reflects them for me
for me for me.
Redemption will pour, crashes to the floor
And a million cold thoughts won't stop you feeling warm
Takin' it Easy, takin' our time and sniffin' about
We got a notion, time gonna tell, and it'll work out There ain't no sly seducer, fooling me
There's nothing you can do Sir! I learnt me a lesson, When I was a boy
Sniffin' about
You get a connection
Selected perfection
It'll work out There ain't no sly seducer, fooling me
There's nothing you can do Sir! Sniffin' about
Rock and roll runaway
Rock and roll runaway
Even though she's only in her teens
She's really into making a scene
As a rock and roll runaway
Don't wanna go to school no more
Don't wanna work on a factory floor
Why you left home, honey
Heaven only knows
I've been trying so hard to find out
I don't even get that close
I got a feeling, I got a feeling
Baby, you did not like your role
Come on, own up, honey
You've been searching for your soul
Searching for your soul
Don't wanna go to school no more
Don't wanna work on a factory floor
Why you left home, honey
Heaven only knows
I've been trying so hard to find out
I don't even get that close
I got a feeling, I got a feeling
Baby, you did not like your role
Come on, own up, honey
You've been searching for your soul
Searching for your soul
Rock and roll runaway
You know she's wearing high heel shoes
She's really into them rythym and blues
She's a rock and roll runaway
She don't wanna go to school no more
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Well, if friends with their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
And you said you was never intending
To break up our scene this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Oh, your friends with their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
Oh, you said you was never intending
To break up our scene this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
And how long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
(How long?)
How long has this been going on?
(How long has this?)
How long has this been going on?

One life wasted
No one can replace it
Candles burning
But the world's still turning
Did you want this? Did you think it over?
Your mother sits there crying
What do I say to her?
Oh,
(Chorus)
Is there liberty? Gravity?
Do memories remain?
Did you find freedom or did you break free?
Liberty? Gravity?
Do memories remain?
Did you find freedom or did you break free?
(Rap Verse)
I never knew why you gave up early
I think of the times you were depressed and it didn't concern me
Days we had the good and the bad
But all that's gone now and who wouldn't be sad?
Who could have saved you from cutting your life short?
The answer is priceless but definitely something to fight for
Holding on to our memory the tears unfurl
To the world you were someone and to someone the world,
(Repeat Chorus)
(Rap Verse 2)
Is there anger? Is there pain? And do the faces stay the same?
Is there justice? Is there blame? Or do we all just end in vain?
Tell me, tell me,
Is there mercy? Is there fame? Did you find a better way?
Do you feel us? Do you see us? Do you hear us when we pray?
Tell me, tell me,
(Repeat Chorus)
Takin' it Easy, takin' our time and sniffin' about
We got a notion, time gonna tell, and it'll work out There ain't no sly seducer, fooling me
There's nothing you can do Sir! I learnt me a lesson, When I was a boy
Sniffin' about
You get a connection
Selected perfection
It'll work out There ain't no sly seducer, fooling me
There's nothing you can do Sir! Sniffin' about
Checking it out
How long has this been goin' on?
How long has this been goin' on?
Well, your friends with their fancy persuasions
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
And you said you were never intendin'
To break up our scene in this way,
But there ain't any use in pretendin',
It could happen to us any day.
How long has this been goin' on?
How long has this been goin' on?
(Musical interlude)
Oh, your friends with their fancy persuasions
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
And you say you were never intendin'
To break up our scene in this way,
But there ain't any use in pretendin',
It could happen to us any day.
So how long has this been goin' on?
How long has this been goin' on?
How long has this been goin' on?
How long - how long has this been goin' on?
