August Day Song
Bebel Gilberto


(Lyrics by Bebel Gilberto, Nina Miranda, Chris Franck)

Tentei contar
Tentei cantar
Tentei just la la la ia

Tentei tocar
Também dançar
Assim, só para deixar

Só quero te dar
Se te falar
Se te just la la la ia

Só quero estar
Com seu cantar
Com seu just la la la ia

Just like this rainstorm
This August day song
I dream of places far beyond

Ouvindo a chuva cair
No cinza um brilho aqui
Fico sózinha, distraída
Mesmo tom
Mesmo som
Como é bom, tão bom

Just like this rainstorm
This August day song
I dream of places far beyond

Ouvindo a chuva cair
No pé um pingo aqui
Fico sózinha, tão distraída

Não vou chorar
Quando lembrar
Do seu eterno olhar

I like to sing
And do these things
With you just prá variar

I hear your voice
I sing for choice
With you just la la la ia

My Favourite Game
The Cardigans


I don't know what you're looking for
you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
in the dust of the deed of time

And this is not a case of lust, you see
it's not a matter of you versus of me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it's always me alone

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game

I only know what I've been working for
another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere

I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
I've tried but you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
you're losing a saviour and a saint

Hometown Glory
Adele


I’ve been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
“Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I can call?”
“No and thank you, please Madam. I ain’t lost, just wandering”

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I’ve met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides

Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain’t gonna take it
Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I’ve met

Are the wonders of my world....
Are the wonders of my world.....

Seule
Keren Ann


Quelques heures à peine depuis que j'ai quitté l'Eden
Je me lève, je m'étire, çà ne me ressemble pas
En marchant je me demande à quand la fin du monde
Chaque idée est la pire, çà ne m'intéresse pas

On sait qu'il suffit d'être seule
Le monde est grand quand on est vraiment seul
Je sais qu'il suffit d'être seule
Pour tuer le temps et ne plus être seule
Suffit d'être seule, mais pas vraiment seule...

Faire cent mètres au paradis et revenir ici
Chaque jour est le même mais ne se ressemble pas
Je cours après les taxis, je cours après ma vie
Si un roi me fait reine, je ne vivrais plus tout çà

On sait qu'il suffit d'être seule
Le monde est grand quand on est vraiment seul
Je sais qu'il suffit d'être seule
Pour tuer le temps et ne plus être seule
Suffit d'être seule, mais pas vraiment seule...

Driftwood
Travis


Everything is open
Nothing is set in stone
Rivers turn to ocean
Oceans tide you home
Home is where your heart is
But your heart had to roam
Drifting over bridges
Never to return
Watching bridges burn
Youre driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces pieces pieces
Just driftwood hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you bind you grind you
Nobody is an island
Everyone has to go
Pillars turn to butter
Butterflying low
Low is where your heart is
But your heart has to grow
Drifting under bridges
Never with the flow
And you really didnt think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So Im sorry that you turned to driftwood
But youve been drifting for a long long time
Everywhere theres trouble
Nowheres safe to go
Pushes turn to shovels
Shovelling the snow
Frozen you have chosen
The path you wish to go
Drifting now forever
And forever more
Until you reach your shore
Youre driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces p ieces pieces
Just driftwood hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you bind you grind you
And you really didnt think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So Im sorry that you turned to driftwood
But youve been drifting for a long long time
Youve been drifting for a long long time
Youve been drifting for a long long
Drifting for a long long time

Pâle Septembre
Camille


Pâle septembre,
comme il est loin,
le temps du ciel sans cendres
il serait temps de s'entendre
sur le nombre de jours qui
jonchent le sol
d'octobre

Mâle si tendre
au debut de novembre
devint sourd aux avances de l'amour
mais quel mal me prit
de m'éprendre de lui ?

Sale décembre
comme il est lourd le ciel
sais-tu que les statues de sel
ont cessé de t'attendre ?

Pâle septembre
Entends-tu le glas que je sonne ?

Je t'aime toujours d'amour
je sème l'amour

Les saisons passent mais de grâce
faisons semblant qu'elles nous ressemblent

Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe de la tour ?
Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe des cieux ?
Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe amoureux ?

Pâle septembre,
comme il est loin,
le temps du ciel sans cendres
il serait temps de s'entendre


Pale september

like it's so far
the sky without ashes
it was time for learning
under the number of days until
the sun covered
october

A tender man
and the beginning of November
deaf with advances of love
but which evils did I undertake
to get excited about him?

Dirty December
the sky in its weight
did you know that the salt statues
have stopped waiting for you?

Pale september
did you hear the death knell I rang?

I love you forever
I'm spreading love

The seasons pass but gracefully
we pretend that they resemble what they were

But who is this man who fell from the tower?
But who is this man who fell from the sky?
BUt who is this man who fell in love?

Pale september
like it's so far away
the sky without ashes
it was time for learning

Petite Putain
Vive la Fête


Les filles travaillent
pendant la nuit
Les vieilles canailles,
ils mettent le prix
Ils ont tout de suite sympathisé
Jusqu'a avis, ils sont alliés

Ta tête a tout
Petite putain

Ça me rends fou
Ça est certain
Mes sentiments, ça me rappelle,
C'est strictement confidentielle.

Baiser, mouillée, jouer, poupée, rasée, beauté, pas danser ou m'en aider

Les yeux nerveux
Pas dramatique
Pas amoureux
Mais sympathique
Ta fantaisie, bonne qualité
J'ai bien envie

Oh jolie jolie fille
C'est moi qui joue avec toi

I’ve Got A Crush On You
Words & Music by Ira & George Gershwin, 1930
Recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, 1956


How glad the many millions of annabelles and lillians
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell

Im your big and brave and handsome romeo
How I won you I shall never never know
Its not that youre attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view

Ive got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time give me sigh
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion

Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
cause I have got a crush on you

Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage
That we could share
The world will pardon my mush
cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you

NOBODY KNOWS THE WAY l FEEL THIS MORNING
Dinah Washington


Nobody knows the way I feel this morning
Oh no one knows the way
I feel this morning
Well if I only had my way
Don't you know the graveyard
Would be the place my man would lay
Um nobody knows the way

l awned ever thin th I
Oo yeah yeah yeah I pawned everything
I could get my hands on this morning
I pawned my ring, gold watch and chain
I would have pawned myself
But don't you know I felt kind of ashamed
Nobody knows the way I feel this morning.
Lord Lord I feel I could scream
Scream and cry this morning
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I feel like I could scream
Scream and cry this morning
l feel like I could scream
I holler and cry
But l'm too stout hearted
l'd rather die
Cause nobody knows, nobody knows
The way I feel this morning.
Girls let me tell you
If your man stays out all night till morning
l said, if your man stays out
And don't come home till morning
Don't waste your breath by fussing at him
Just maul him on the head
with your rolling pin
Cause nobody knows, nobody knows
How I feel this morning.
Yeah yeah I feel like I could scream
Scream and cry this morning
Lord Lord Lord Lord
l feel like I could scream
Yeah scream and cry this morning
l feel like screaming and I could cry
But l'm too stout hearted
Don't you know l.d rather die
Cause nobody knows the trouble I seen
And nobody knows the way I feel this morning.
I'd rather be a sinker on
a fishing line this morning
l know you heard me, I said
l'd rather be a sinker on
a fishing line this morning
I'd rather be a sinker on a fishing line
Than to have my mind flustrated all the time
Cause nobody knows, nobody knows
The way I feel this morning.
l even hate to hear

Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord

I can kill you quicker than an express train
Cavse nobody knows, nobody knows
The way I feel this morning.
Well well well nobody knows

Oh nobody knows the way

Cause nobody knows
Nobody knows the way I feel this morning.
l'm leaving here on a southbound
train this morning
Oh l'm leaving here on a southbound
train this morning
l'm leaving here on a southbound train
Nothing's going to bring your sweet baby
back here again
Cause nobody knows the way
l feel this morning.

Song Of Alice
Keren Ann


She was the ... the patron saint of twenty third street.
She was around for a lot of time, she ...
Wandering around the hotel hallways in the middle of the night,
Carrying a little ... yellow cardboard box,
And she... inhabited the place, like a ... butterfly.
There was this kind of sadness about her and they...
And she did have this light...
And nobody ever knew her real name.

Those times, I see her coming on a ,
Stepping through broken bottles and gum,
Carrying her shoes, barefoot.
People said she was crazy, but I ...
About six months before the fire,
There was a ... big blackout, famous summer blackout ...
She walked around through the halls, giving everyone candles,
Scared everybody away in the end.

And when the fire happened, you know,
Everybody assumed it was her.
Terrible fires all that year and little ones.
I don't know if it was fair or not,
But everybody blamed her for it.

And then one day, she ... she just vanished,
And later, they ... said her name was Alice.
The whole time, I never knew her name.

When I'm Sixty-Four Lyrics
The Beatles


When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

You'll be older too,
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride,
Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

Every summer we can rent a cottage,
In the isle of wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera Chuck & Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

La Chanson De Satie
Feist


Rapproche toi de moi
Monte le son plus fort
Je veux sentir une dernière fois
Ton corps contre moi

Je pars en voyage
Tu pars très longtemps
Je vais t'oublier un peu c'est sur
C'est certain

Je voulais te dire que je t'aime encore
Tu voulais me dire que tu m'aimes encore

Je t'en prie chante-moi
Ce vieil air français
C'est une mélodie
D'Erik Satie, je crois
Que c'est ça

Je voulais te dire encore
Je voulais te dire que je t'aime encore
Tu voulais me dire que tu m'aimes encore

Tu pars en voyage
Je pars très longtemps

Tu vas m'oublier
C'est sûr c'est certain

Rapproche toi de moi
Monte le son plus fort
Tu voulais me dire
Que je t'aime encore
Que tu m'aimes encore, que tu m'aimes encore
(que je t'aime encore, que je t'aime encore)

Martyr
Depeche Mode


I've been a martyr for love
And I will die in the flames
As I draw my last breath
As I'm close in on death
I will call out your name

I've been a martyr for love
Nailed up on the cross
While you're having your fun
As the damage is done
I'm assessing the cost

I knew what I was letting myself in for
I knew that I could never even the score

I've been a martyr for love
I need to be by your side
I have knelt at your feet
I have felt you deceit
Could have leave if I tried

I've been a martyr for love
Tortured every hour
From the day I was born
I've been moved like a pawn
By the greatest of powers

I knew that I would have to suffer in vain
A way that I would never outgrow the pain

I've been a martyr for love
I've been a martyr for love
I've been a martyr for love

Almost Sorry
Scissor Sisters


If anyone was headed for the gates of hell I know you'd be first
I used to picture your obituary and I wished you the worst
The danger of the playground
The radio said you drowned
and I'm sorry almost
Almost sorry

No sympathy is given to the perpetrator charged with the crime
(Ahhh ahhh)
I'm willing to admit that it feels good to be a victim sometimes
I won't ever get to thank you
For the terrible things you said
I'm sorry almost

That you're dead to the world where I hoped you would be
Never imagined you'd live on in me
You gave me destination but I paid for the ride
The place you pushed my ticket left a crater inside
Where I cried
(he cried)
Where I cried
(you died)

Where I cried from the bruises learned to live with the scars
Now you live in the mirror when I look there you are
You're the shadow on the faces of the people I meet
Have you claimed eternal shotgun in my passenger seat
Well I'm sorry almost
Almost sorry
(Ahhh ahhh)

Sometimes the best design is done by damage
The accident concedes
A rainbow still looks pretty when it bleeds

All The Pretty Faces Lyrics
The Killers


Help me out, I need it
I don't feel like loving you no more
I don't feel like loving you no more

Help me out, I need it
I don't feel like touching her no more
Help me out, I need it
I don't feel like touching her no more
Well how did it happen
I spent two long years in a strange strange land
Well how did it happen
I'd do anything just to be your man

Chorus:
You're not going anywhere without me
These trials don't prepare the air of love
You're not telling anyone about me
And you shake and you plead while I sing my song

I don't feel like, I don't feel like
I don't feel like loving you
I don't feel like, I don't feel like
I don't feel like loving you

All the different places
Ringing out like a shotgun in my head
All the pretty faces
Ringing out well I just can't go to bed
Well how did it happen
I spent two long years in a strange strange land
Well how did it happen
I'd do anything just to be your man
I'd do anything just to be your man

Chorus:
You're not going anywhere without me
These trials don't prepare the air of love
You're not telling anyone about me
And you shake while you go and you bleed oh oh

I don't feel like touching you
I don't feel like touching you
I don't feel like touching you
I don't feel like touching you
You can't tell anyone about me

Chorus:
You're not going anywhere without me
Help me out I need it
You can't tell anyone about me
Help me out I need it

I don't feel like, I don't feel like
I don't feel like loving you
I don't feel like, I don't feel like
I don't feel like loving you

Crystal Ball
Keane


Who is the man I see
Where I'm supposed to be?
I lost my heart, I buried it too deep
Under the iron sea

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall

Lines ever more unclear
I'm not sure I'm even here
The more I look the more I think that I'm
Starting to disappear

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong

I don't know where I am
And I don't really care
I look myself in the eye
There's noone there
I fall upon the earth
I call upon the air
But all I get is the same old vacant stare

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong

Mr Brightside
The Killers



I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi

Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

Love Ain't No Stranger
Whitesnake


Who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Oh, love ain't no stranger

I looked around an' what did I see
Broken hearted people staring at me,
All searching 'cos they still believe,
Oh, love ain't no stranger

I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
I heard no warning, but, a heart can tell
I'd feel the emptiness of love I know so well

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love, no, no, no

Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed
I know good loving an' I'm a friend of pain,
But, when I read between the lines it's all the same

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love

So who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Lord, have mercy,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger

I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love

Love ain't no stranger,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger...

You Give Me Something
James Morrison


You want to stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep,
I was meant to tread the water
Now I've gotten in too deep,
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away.

'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try,
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart.

You already waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me,
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
I can't work out what the mean,
I never thought that I'd love someone,
That was someone else's dream.

'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try,
Please give me something,
'Cause someday I might call you from my heart,
But it might me a second too late,
And the words I could never say
Gonna come out anyway.

'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try,
Please give me something,
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try,
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart.
Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart

It's All Coming Back To Me Now
Meatloaf


There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window

There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever

I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and Ia had ever made

But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)

There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby Baby

If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But it's all coming back

There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper

There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever

But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then

But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)

There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, Baby, Baby

When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now

If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now

(It's all coming back to me now)
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
If you do it like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if we, , ,

These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)
ELLA FITZGERALD


A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you.
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin'words That told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things
remind me of you.
You came,
You saw,
You conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March That made my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings But who's to answer
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
First daffodils
And long excited cables
And candle lights
A little corner table
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
The park at evening
When the bell has sounded
The pier in France
With all the gulls around it
The beauty that is spring
These foolish things
Remind me of you
How strange,
How sweet,
To find you still,
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The sigh of midnight trains
At empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside
Dance invitations
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
Gardenia perfume
Lingering on a pillow
Wild strawberries
Only seven francs a kilo
And still my heart has wings,
These foolish things,
Remind me of you
The smile of Garbo
And the scent of roses
The waiters whistling
As the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
How strange
How sweet
To find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The scent of smoldering leaves
The wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street
Who walk like dreamers
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you

See You When You're 40
Dido


I've driven round in circles for three hours
It was bound to happen that I'd end up at your
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance

Cos' I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for
But I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about

You think that you are complicated, deep mystery to all
Well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special
All energy no meaning, with a lot of words
So paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down

And I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about
I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind

So see me when your 40, lost and all alone
being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know
not sad because you lost me
but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad

You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd
well if you had walked past me today I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out

now I've seen, tonight, how I could waste my time
and I'll be on my way, and I won't be back
cos I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about
your just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back

Changes
David Bowie


I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time


I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell t hem to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

Fine And Mellow
Billie


My man don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man he don't love me
Treats me awfully
He's the, lowest man
That I've ever seen

He wears high trimmed pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high trimmed pants
Stripes are really yellow

But when he starts in to love me
He's so fine and mellow

Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long repeat

Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong

But if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
But if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday

But you're so mean to me baby
I know you're gonna drive me away

Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on

Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone

Queens of the Stone Age


We get some rules to follow
That and this, these and those
No one knows
We get these pills to swallow
How they stick in your throat
Tastes like gold
Oh, what you do to me
No one knows

And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
Ahh

I journey through the desert
Of the mind with no hope
I found low
I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats in the sun
And come undone
Pleasently caving in
I come undone

And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool and mine
Ahhh

Heaven smiles above me
What a gift can be love
But no one knows
A gift that you give to me
No one knows

ART BITCH
Cansei de Ser Sexy


My art is called egocentric soft porno
Or maybe it's just narcisism
My one and only subject
Goes from something like anything but me ism

Wouldn't it be easier for Beardsley
He could drop the paintings
And photograph his penis
Or take pics of the chicks
Yeah, you know what I mean
Wouldn't it be easier for Escher
He could drop the marh
And make it happen on his matress
2 girls and a cam
3 girls and a cam
Put a dog there and you got polaroid scam

REFRAO
I ain't no art-ist
I am an art-bitch
I sell my paintings to the men I eat
I have no port-fo-lee-o
Cuz I only show
Where there's free al-co-hol

I am so hardcore
I sell my crap and people ask for more
Call me re-vo-lu-tionaire
I poo on a plate and get it published on Visionaire
What I do, it's called art-shit
And don't you dare make fun of me
Cuz everything I do was featured on the pages of ID

Lick lick lick my art-tit
Suck suck suck my art-hole

Mr. Blue Sky
Electric Light Orchestra


Sun is shinin' in the sky,
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day.

Runnin' down the avenue,(Pant, Pant, Pant)
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.

(Chorus:)
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong.

Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.

Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's
Up there waitin' and today
Is the day we've waited for

(Chorus)

Mr. Blue you did it right,
But soon comes Mr. Night,
Creepin' over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind I'll remember you this way.

The Remedy
Jason Mraz


Well I saw fireworks from the freeway
And behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
'Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring
Now something on the surface it stings
I said something on the surface
Well it kind of makes me nervous
Who says that you deserve this
And what kind of god would serve this?
We will cure this dirty old disease
If you've got the poison I've got the remedy


The remedy is the experience.
This is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that it's serious.
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.


I won't worry my life away.

I won't worry my life away.


I heard two men talking on the radio
In a cross fire kind of reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
They were counting down the ways to stab
The brother in the be right back after this
The unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh
Death breath is sure to outlast this catastrophy
Dance with me, because if you've got the poison,
I've got the remedy

The remedy is the experience.
This is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that it's serious.
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.


I won't worry my life away.

I won't worry my life away.


When I fall in love I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why

Because

The remedy is the experience.
This is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that it's serious.
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away.

Piano Man
Billy Joel


It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son, can you play me a melody?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet
and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger
man's clothes"

La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Chorus:
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke
or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with
Davy who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a
drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone

Chorus

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me
they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Chorus

The Life and Death of Mr Badmouth
Polly Jean Harvey


Baby, you got a bad bad mouth
Everything is poison that's coming out
Cheating, lying since the day you were born
Someone outta rinse it out with soap

Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out

No kind words are coming out of your mouth
Plenty goes in but nothing good comes out
Badmouth, sad mouth, you were an unhappy child
That doesn't make your lying tongue alright

Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out

Cos everything is poison
You'll be the unhappy one
Your lips taste of poison
You're gonna be left alone

When you told me every word you said
Came from voices talking in your head
Baby, I just think you're out for what you can get
Your badmouth has killed off everything we had

Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out

Cos everything is poison
You'll be the unhappy one
Your lips taste of poison
You'll be in the corner crying

When she wants plenty, she gets plenty
When she wants plenty, she gets plenty
When she wants plenty, she gets plenty
then she gets plenty more, uhh

{repeat Chorus One}

[Guru]
Uhh
Watchin her drivin by, in her new whip so fly
Wish she could sing me a lullaby, to scoop her I've got to try
In her eyes, there's a flame that burns right through my soul
Can't pretend to be cool, about to lose my control
Yeah I know she's got plenty; admirers, she's got many
Like an exotic fantasy, into a frenzy she sends me
Wow I have to sit down, and gather my wits now
I wanna caress those hips now, wanna kiss those lips now

[Badu]
Hello? Hey babyyy
I know you called and I didn't answer twice
But baby that's oh-kay it's nice

Hey babyyy
You know it's okay if you don't call me
anymore cause I got a-plenty
truckload of niggaz like you at my door {*dial tone*}

[Chorus One]

[Guru]
Yup
And every day is her day, and every year is her year
Anyone tried to violate, they could straight dissapear
She don't care if you play yourself, tryin to step to her
The illest of gangsters, I show and respect to her
Truly glamourous, she ain't impressed and it shows
She don't like your new clothes, she don't care about your playa pose
Do you suppose I could hook up and spend time with her?
She's just how I dreamed - I'll bust my nine for her

[Chorus Two: Erykah Badu]
When she gets plenty, she gets plenty
When she gets plenty, she gets plenty
When she wants plenty, she gets plenty
any damn thang she wants, uhh

[Guru]
Uhh
Surgeon General - I provide vitamins and minerals
The charge that she's got on me, should be federal
I was told never put the two before the one son
but always cultivate your Wisdom, to help you build your kingdom
I wanna be the answer to every question she has
So when I wish to enter, she'll be lettin me pass
I know she wants to be with G-O-D eventually, but still
She got everything; yeah the girl's got plenty

[Badu]
Flowers in her bedroom
Perfume on her neck
Nectar from a mason jar
Seven dollar dress; she's
Super cute, and plenty bad
Thirty twenty-two thirty-six and a half
I, hope the dude will realize
She got the silky(?) (?)sexy bedroom eyes
Baby baby please don't break yo' neck
Cause you gon' have a wreck {*tires squeal*}
Cause when it comes to love I get plenty, degrees one-twenty
My back slipped out my dress - OOPS!

[Chorus Three: Erykah Badu]
When she gets plenty, she gets plenty (she gets it all)
When she wants plenty, she gets plenty (uhh)
When she wants plenty, she gets plenty (c'mon)
and she gets plenty more (plenty more) ahh
When she wants plenty, she gets plenty
When she wants plenty, she gets plenty (mm, she gets it all)
When she wants plenty, she gets plenty
and any damn thang I want - right?

[Guru]
That's right
In this game of life it takes a lot to win
Plenty more baby's what I got to give

[Badu]
Yeah yeah baby that's really nice
But I'm tryin to read my book and you're in my light

[Guru]
Uhh - a woman like you could help me reach the top
If I get a chance to love you, mm, I won't stop

[Badu]
Damn! Oh huh, what? Huh, whaaat?

[Guru]
Baby you so fine I wanna smack myself

In massage therapy I got a master degree

Don't Stop Believing
Journey


Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on


Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night


Working hard to get my fill,
everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on


(chorus)


Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people

Sylvia
Elvis Presley


These long lonely evenings
Here I am on the phone
Wondering if she will call
She said she would write me
'Cause she knows I'm alone
But I hear nothing at all

I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia.
You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia,
But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
'Cause she's more than the whole world to me
There's nothing like a word of love from Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me

That old weepin' willow
Seems to whisper her name
Why did she go away
The tears on my pillow
They're not hard to explain
There's nothing else I can say

I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia.
You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia,
But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
'Cause she's more than the whole world to me
There's nothing in the world like Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me

Let's Call The Whole Thing Off

Things have come to a pretty pass
Our romance is growing flat,
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that,
Goodness knows what the end will be
Oh I don't know where I'm at
It looks as if we two will never be one
Something must be done:

Chorus - 1
You say either and I say either, You say neither and I say neither
Either, either Neither, neither, Let's call the whole thing off.

You like potato and I like potahto, You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto, Let's call the whole thing off

But oh, if we call the whole thing off Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

So if you like pyjamas and I like pyjahmas, I'll wear pyjamas and give up
pyajahmas
For we know we need each other so we , Better call the whole off off
Let's call the whole thing off.


Chorus - 2
You say laughter and I say larfter, You say after and I say arfter
Laughter, larfter after arfter, Let's call the whole thing off,

You like vanilla and I like vanella, You saspiralla, and I saspirella
Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry, Let's call the whole thing off

But oh if we call the whole thing of then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

So if you go for oysters and I go for ersters, I'll order oysters and cancel
the ersters
For we know we need each other so we, Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.


Chorus - 3

Walking After Midnight

I go out walking after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you

I walk for miles along the highway
Well that's just my way of saying I love you
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you

I stopped to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night wind whispers to me I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walking after midnight out in the starlight
Just hoping you may be somewhere
walking after midnight searching for me

I stopped to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night wind whispers to me I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walking after midnight out in the starlight
Just hoping you may be somewhere
walking after midnight searching for me.

Fill My Cup
Gomez in Liquid Skin


We're nowhere in particular
We're nowhere, nowhere at all
So fill my cup, make me happen
Fill it up, make me smile
Fill my cup, give me a reason
A reason to feel alright

Don't you worry, sweet darling
It's gonna be alright
It seems that I've been sleeping
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life

I sleep alone
On my very own
Sitting sick at home

Baby, up, make me happen
Wake me up, make me fly
Weigh me up, give me the reason
The reason to feel alright

Don't you worry, sweet darling
It's gonna be alright
It seems that I've been sleeping
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life

Picking up girls that have diseases
That burn me up, burn me up

Been sleeping all my life
Fill my cup, make me happen
Fill my cup, make me smile

In Your Eyes
Peter Gabriel


love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

O Pato
Jayme Silva e Neuza Teixeira

O pato vinha cantando alegremente
Qüem qüem, quando o marreco
Sorridente pediu para entrar
Também no samba, no samba, no samba.

O ganso gostou da dupla e fez também
Qüem qüem qüem
Olhou pro cisne e disse assim
Vem vem, que o quarteto ficará bem
Muito bom, muito bem

Na beira da lagoa foram ensaiar
Para começar o tico tico no fubá
A voz do pato era mesmo um desacato
Jogo de cena como ganso era mato
Mas eu gostei do final quando cairam n'água
Ensaiando o vocal, qüem qüem

Hyperballad
Björk

We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like:
Car parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

It's become a habit
A way
To start the day

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

This woman's work
Kate Bush


Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.

Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.

(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said,
That were never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.

A VOZ DO DONO E O DONO DA VOZ
Chico Buarque - 1981



Até quem sabe a voz do dono
Gostava do dono da voz
Casal igual a nós, de entrega e de abandono
De guerra e paz, contras e prós

Fizeram bodas de acetato - de fato
Assim como os nossos avós
O dono prensa a voz, a voz resulta um prato
Que gira para todos nós

O dono andava com outras doses
A voz era de um dono só
Deus deu ao dono os dentes, Deus deu ao dono as nozes
Às vozes só deu seu dó

Porém a voz ficou cansada após
Cem anos fazendo a santa
Sonhou se desatar de tantos nós
Nas cordas de outra garganta
A louca escorregava nos lencóis
Chegou a sonhar amantes
E, rouca, regalar os seus bemóis
Em troca de alguns brilhantes

Enfim, a voz firmou contrato
E foi morar com novo algoz
Queria-se pensar, queria ser um prato
Girar e se esquecer, veloz

Foi revelada na assembléia - atéia
Aquela situação atroz
A voz foi infiel trocando de traquéia
E o dono foi perdendo a voz

E o dono foi perdendo a linha - que tinha
E foi pedendo a luz e além
E disse: Minha voz, se vós não sereis minha
Vós não sereis de mais ninguém

(O que é bom para o dono é bom para a voz)

Foi no Mês Que Vem
Vitor Ramil


Vou te vi, ali deserta de qualquer alguém
Penso, logo irei
Que seja antes minha que de outrem
Quando o vento fez do teu vestido
Um dom que Deus te deu
Claro que eu rirei
Ao vendo o que outro alguém não viu

Vou andei, e me chegando assim te cercarei
Digo, aqui tô eu
Que te amo e as tuas pernas quero bem
Já que estamos nós
Te sugeri-me então o que fazer
Claro que eu beijei
Ao tendo o que outro alguém não quis

E tudo isso
Foi no mês que vem
Foi quando eu chegar
Foi na hora em que eu te vi
E mais que tudo
Foi no mês que vem
Foi quando eu chegar
Na hora em que eu te quis

Vou fiquei, no teu chegado e tu chegada ao meu
Penso, grande é Deus
Um paraíso prum sujeito ateu
E pensando assim
Farei aquilo que o teu gosto quis
Claro, eu já ganhei de volta
Tudo que eu quiser

Tango do covil
Chico Buarque/1977-1978
Para a peça Ópera do Malandro


Ai, quem me dera ser cantor, quem dera ser tenor, quem sabe ter a
voz igual aos rouxinóis, igual ao trovador que canta os arrebóis, pra te
dizer gentil: Bem-viiiinda, deixa eu cantar tua beleza, tu és a mais linda
princesa aqui deste covil....

Ai, quem me dera ser doutor, formado em Salvador, ter um diploma, anel, e
voz de bacharel, fazer em teu louvor, discursos a granel, pra te dizer
gentil: Bem-viiiiiiiinda, tu és a dama mais formosa e, ouso dizer a mais
gostosa, aqui deste covil...!

Ai, quem dera ser garçom, ter um sapato bom, quem sabe até talvez ser um
garçom francês, falar de champignon, falar de molho inglês, pra te dizer
gentil: Bem-vinda, és tão graciosa e tão miúda, tu és a dama mais
tesuda aqui deste covil..!!!

Ai, quem me dera ser Gardel, tenor e bacharel, francês e rouxinol, doutor
em champignon, garçom em Salvador e locutor de futebol, pra te dizer
febril: Bem-viiiiiiiinda, tua beleza é quase um crime, tu és a bunda mais
sublime AQUI DESTE COVIL..!

(musiquinha triste do Lamb...)


Gorecki

If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
Still in my heart this moment
Or it might burst
Could we stay right here
Until the end of time until the earth stops turning
Wanna love you until the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for


All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs
Wanna stay right here
Until the end of time
'Til the earth stops turning
Gonna love you until the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for


The one I've waited for


All I've known
All I've done
All I've felt was leading to this
All I've known
All I've done
All I've felt was leading to this
Wanna stay right here
'Til the end of time 'till the earth stops turning
I'm gonna love you till the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
The one I've waited for
The one I've waited for


Wanna stay right here
'Til the end of time 'till the earth stops turning
I'm gonna love you till the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
The one I've waited for
The one I've waited for

Don't Fence Me In
Words and music by Cole Porter© & Robert Fletcher,
©1942, from the film Hollywood Canteen*


Wildcat Kelly looking mighty pale,
Was standing by the sheriff's side
And when the sheriff said "I'm sending you to
jail, "
Wildcat raised his head and cried:

Chorus:
Oh give me land, lots of land
Under starry skies above.
Don't Fence Me In.
Let me ride through the wide open
Country that I love.
Don't Fence Me In.
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze,
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees.
Send me off forever,
but I ask you, please,
Don't Fence Me In.

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old
saddle
Underneath the western skies.
On my cayuse let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise.
I want to ride to the ridge
where the west commences,
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses.
Can't look at hobbles
and I can't stand fences.
Don't Fence Me In.


Wild cat Kelly back again in town,
was sitting by his sweetheart's side,
And when his sweetheart said,
"Come on let's settle down."
Wild Cat raised his head and cried:

Oh give me land, lots of land
Under starry skies above.
Don't Fence Me In.
Let me ride through the wide open
Country that I love.
Don't Fence Me In.
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze,
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees.
Send me off forever,
but I ask you, please,
Don't Fence Me In.



*Cole Porter was credited with sole authorship when the song was published, but he had essentially re-worked a poem written earlier by Robert Fletcher. Fletcher, who worked for the Dept. of Highways in Helena, MT, is the one who wrote the "roadside history" placques that were seen along the state's highways until the 1980s. Fletcher sold the poem/song to Porter for a small sum when Porter was asked to write a cowboy song for the film. Porter wanted to give Fletcher co-authorship credit, but his publishers would not allow that. Later, after the song got so popular, Fletcher hired legal advice and his attorneys negotiated his being given proper co-authorship credit in subsequent publications.
