In my dreams I'm dying all the time
As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye
This is goodbye
Tell the truth you never wanted me
Tell me
In my dreams I'm jealous all the time
As I wake I'm going out of my mind
Going out of my mind

Blackbird - Sarah McLachlan
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - Lennon and McCartney
1967-1970 Lennon & McCartney
PICTURE YOURSELF IN A BOAT ON A RIVER
WITH TANGERINE TREES AND MARMALADE SKIES.
SOMEBODY CALLS YOU, YOU ANSWER QUITE SLOWLY,
A GIRL WITH KALEIDOSCOPE EYES.
CELLOPHANE FLOWERS OF YELLOW AND GREEN
TOWERING OVER YOUR HEAD.
LOOK FOR THE GIRL WITH THE SUN IN HER EYES
AND SHE'S GONE.
LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS,
LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS,
LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS,
AH ---
FOLLOW HER DOWN TO A BRIDGE BY A FOUNTAIN,
WHERE ROCKING HORSE PEOPLE EAT MARSHMALLOW PIES.
EV´RYONE SMILES AS YOU DRIFT PAST THE FLOWERS
THAT GROW SO INCREDIBLY HIGH.
NEWSPAPER TAXIS APPEAR ON THE SHORE
WAITING TO TAKE YOU AWAY.
CLIMB IN THE BACK WITH YOUR HEAD IN THE CLOUDS
AND YOU'RE GONE.
LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS,
LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS,
LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS,
AH ---
PICTURE YOURSELF ON A TRAIN IN A STATION
WITH PLASTICINE PORTERS WITH LOOKING GLASS TIES.
SUDDENLY SOMEONE IS THERE AT THE TURNSTILE,
THE GIRL WITH KALEIDOSCOPE EYES.

I love you for sentimental reasons
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me, I give you my heart.
I love you, and you alone were meant for me,
Please give your loving heart to me, and say we'll never part.
I think of you every morning, dream of you every night.
Darling, I'm never lonely whenever you're in sight.
I love you, for sentimental reasons,
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart.
I hope you do believe me, I give you my heart.
I love you, and you alone were meant for me,
Please give your loving heart to me, and say we'll never part.
I think of you every morning, dream of you every night.
Darling, I'm never lonely whenever you're in sight.
I love you, for sentimental reasons,
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart.
I Know Him So Well
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back
I could have done it differently
Won a few more moments
who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know
I know him well
Wasn't it good
Wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end
he needs a little more than before
Security
he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back
I could have played it differently
Learned about the man before I fell
But I was ever so much younger then
Wasn't it good (oh so good)
Wasn't it fine (so fine)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
Didn't I know how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart
Wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end
he needs a little more than before
Security
he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took some to understand him
I know him so well
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back
I could have done it differently
Won a few more moments
who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know
I know him well
Wasn't it good
Wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end
he needs a little more than before
Security
he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide

I'd be surprisingly good for you
lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
(Eva and Peron:)
I've heard so much about you
(Eva and Peron:)
I'm amazed, for I'm only an actress [a soldier]
Nothing to shout about [One of the thousands]
Only a girl on the air [Defending the country he loves]
(Eva:)
But when you act, the things you do affect us all
(Peron:)
But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of the real world
Are you here on your own?
(Eva:)
Yes, oh yes
(Peron:)
So am I, what a fortunate coincidence
Maybe you're my reward for my efforts here tonight
(Eva:)
It seems crazy but you must believe
There's nothing calculated, nothing planned
Please forgive me if I seem naive
I would never want to force your hand
But please understand, I'd be good for you
I don't always rush in like this
Twenty seconds after saying hello
Telling strangers I'm too good to miss
If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so
But you really should know, I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you
I won't go on if I'm boring you
But do you understand my point of view?
Do you like what you hear, what you see
And would you be, good for me too?
I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
Which has to imply, I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you
(Peron:)
Please go on, you enthrall me
I can understand you perfectly
And I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing me
I would be good for you too
(Eva:)
I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
Which has to imply, I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you
(Eva and Peron:)

I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face
Words and Music by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe
from the Broadway musical "My Fair Lady"
I've grown accustomed to her face
She almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune she whistles night and noon
Her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent and content before we met
Surely I could always be that way again and yet
I've grown accustomed to her looks, accustomed to her voice
Accustomed to her face
I'm very grateful she's a woman and so easy to forget
Rather like a habit one can always break and yet
I've grown accustomed to the trace of something in the air
Accustomed to her face
from the Broadway musical "My Fair Lady"
I've grown accustomed to her face
She almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune she whistles night and noon
Her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent and content before we met
Surely I could always be that way again and yet
I've grown accustomed to her looks, accustomed to her voice
Accustomed to her face
I'm very grateful she's a woman and so easy to forget
Rather like a habit one can always break and yet
I've grown accustomed to the trace of something in the air
Accustomed to her face
Another Suitcase In Another Hall
(Eva:)
I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it, wouldn't you?
Chorus:
(Eva:) So what happens now?
(Che:) Another suitcase in another hall
(Eva:) So what happens now?
(Che:) Take your picture off another wall
(Eva:) Where am I going to?
(Che:) You'll get by, you always have before
(Eva:) Where am I going to?
Time and time again I've said that I don't care
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me, and they do
(chorus)
Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion
But that's no consolation here and now.
(Huevo:)
Don't ask anymore.
I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it, wouldn't you?

Better man
Robbie Williams
Send someone to love me, I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm in pouring rain
Give me endless summer, Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old before my time
As my soul heals the shame, I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can to be a better man
Go easy on my conscience 'cause it's not my fault
I know I've been taught to take the blame
Rest assured my angels will catch my tears
Walk me out of here I'm in pain
Once you've found that lover you're homeward bound
Love is all around, Love is all around
I know some have fallen on stony ground
But Love is all around
Robbie Williams
Send someone to love me, I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm in pouring rain
Give me endless summer, Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old before my time
As my soul heals the shame, I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can to be a better man
Go easy on my conscience 'cause it's not my fault
I know I've been taught to take the blame
Rest assured my angels will catch my tears
Walk me out of here I'm in pain
Once you've found that lover you're homeward bound
Love is all around, Love is all around
I know some have fallen on stony ground
But Love is all around
Help Me Make It Through The Night
Take the ribbon from my hair Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay in soft upon my skin Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side Till the early morning light
All I'm asking is your time Help me make it through the night
I don't care who's right or wrong I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow Lord tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone Help me make it through the night
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
Take the ribbon from my hair Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay in soft upon my skin Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side Till the early morning light
All I'm asking is your time Help me make it through the night
I don't care who's right or wrong I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow Lord tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone Help me make it through the night
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
Beauty School Dropout
Frankie Avalon
Your story sad to tell
A teenage ne'er do well
Most mixed up non-delinquent on the block
Your futures so unclear now
What's left of your career now
Can't even get a trade in on your smock
Beauty school dropout
No graduation day for you
Beauty school dropout
Missed your mid-terms and flunked shampoo
Well at least you could have taken time to wash and clean your clothes up
After spending all that dough to have the doctor fix you nose up
Baby get moving (Better get movin)
Why keep your feeble hopes alive
What are you proving (What are you provin)
You've got the dream but not the drive
If you go for your diploma you could join the steno pool
Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high school
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout)
Hanging around the corner store
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout)
It's about time you knew the score
Well they couldn't teach you anything you think you're such a looker
But no customer would go to you unless she was a hooker
Baby don't sweat it (Don't sweat it)
You're not cut out to hold a job
Better forget it (Forget it)
Who wants their hair done by a slob?
Now your bangs are curled your lashes twirled but still the world is cruel
Wipe off that angel face and go back to high school
Baby don't blow it
Don't put my good advice to shame
Baby you know it
Even dear Abby'd say the same
Now I've called the shot, get off the pot, I really gotta fly
Gotta be going to that malt shop in the sky
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout)
Go back to high school
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout)
Go back to high school
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout)
Go back to high school

I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair
[Mitzi]
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
And send him on his way.
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms.
[Mitzi and Chorus]
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms,
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms,
And send him on his way.
Don't try to patch it up.
[Chorus]
Tear it up, tear it up!
[Mitzi]
Wash him out, dry him out.
[Chorus]
Push him out, fly him out.
[Mitzi]
Cancel him and let him go!
[Chorus]
Yeah, sister!
[Mitzi]
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
And send him on his way.
If a man don't understand you,
If you fly on separate beams,
Waste no time, make a change,
Ride that man right off your range.
Rub him out of the roll call,
And drum him out of your dreams.
[Chorus]
Oho! If you laugh at different comics,
If you root for different teams,
Waste no time, weep no more,
Show him what the door is for.
Rub him out of the roll call,
And drum him out of your dreams.
[Mitzi]
You can't light a fire when the wood is wet.
[Chorus]
No!
[Mitzi}
You can't make a butterfly strong.
[Chorus]
Hmm, hmm!
[Mitzi]
You can't fix an egg when it ain't quite good.
[Chorus]
And you can't fix a man when he's wrong!
[Mitzi]
You can't put back a petal when it falls from a flower,
Or sweeten up a fellow when he starts turnin' sour.
[Chorus]
Oh no! Oh no!
[Mitzi and Chorus]
If his eyes get dull and fishy,
When you look for glints and gleams,
Waste no time,
Make a switch,
Drop him in the nearest ditch!
Rub him out of the roll call,
And drum him out of your dreams.
Oho! Oho!
[Mitzi]
I went to wash that man right outa my hair,
I went to wash that man right outa my hair,
I went to wash that man right outa my hair,
And sent him on his way.
[Chorus]
She went to wash that man right outa her hair,
She went to wash that man right outa her hair,
She went to wash that man right outa her hair,
[Mitzi and Chorus]
And sent him on his way!
[Mitzi]
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
And send him on his way.
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms.
[Mitzi and Chorus]
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms,
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms,
And send him on his way.
Don't try to patch it up.
[Chorus]
Tear it up, tear it up!

Wash him out, dry him out.

Rainbow High

There again I've more to do
Than simply get the message through
I haven't started
Let's get this show on the road
Let's make it obvious
Peron is off and rolling
Chorus:
(Eva's dressers:)
Eyes, hair, mouth, figure
Dress, voice, style, movement
Hands, magic, rings, glamour
Face, diamonds, excitement, image

So Christian Dior me from my head to my toes
I need to be dazzling, I want to be Rainbow High
They must have excitement, and so must I

So Machiavell me, make an Argentine Rose

They need their escape, and so do I

All my descamisados expect me to outshine the enemy
I won't disappoint them
I'm their savior, that's what they call me
So Lauren Bacall me, anything goes
To make me fantastic, I have to be Rainbow High
In magical colors
You're not decorating a girl for a night on the town
And I'm not a second-rate queen getting kicks with a crown
Next stop will be Europe
The Rainbow's gonna tour, dressed up, somewhere to go
We'll put on a show
Look out, mighty Europe
Because you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me

High Noon
Do not forsake me oh my darlin'
On this our wedding day
Do not forsake me oh my darlin'
Wait, wait along
I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be brave
And I must face a man who hates me
Or lie a coward, a craven coward
Or lie a coward in my grave
Oh to be turned 'twixt love and duty
'Sposin' I lose my fair haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Near in high noon
He made a vow while in State's prison
Vowed it would be my life or his
I'm not afraid of death but, oh
What will I do if you leave me
Do not forsake me oh my darlin'
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me oh my darlin'
Although you're grievin'
Don't think of leavin'
Now that I need you by my side
Wait along, wait along
Do not forsake me oh my darlin'
On this our wedding day
Do not forsake me oh my darlin'
Wait, wait along
I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be brave
And I must face a man who hates me
Or lie a coward, a craven coward
Or lie a coward in my grave
Oh to be turned 'twixt love and duty
'Sposin' I lose my fair haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Near in high noon
He made a vow while in State's prison
Vowed it would be my life or his
I'm not afraid of death but, oh
What will I do if you leave me
Do not forsake me oh my darlin'
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me oh my darlin'
Although you're grievin'
Don't think of leavin'
Now that I need you by my side
Wait along, wait along
Le Tango De Roxanne
Jose Feliciano
Will drive you!
Will drive you!
Will drive you!
Mad!
Roxanne
You don't have to put on that red light
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right
Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Roxanne
You don't have to sell your body to the night
His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
It's more than I can stand!
Why does my heart cry?
Feelings I can't fight!
You're free to leave me but
Just don't deceive me!
...And please believe me when I say
I love you!

You don't have to put on that red light!
You don't have to wear that dress tonight

Blue Velvet
Bobby Vinton
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours
Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow of
Blue velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears

Dummy (1994)
Sour Times
To pretend no one can find
The fallacies of morning rose
Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes
Curtises that I despise in me
Take a ride, take a shot now
Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do
Covered by the blind belief
That fantasies of sinful screens
Bear the facts, assume the dye
End the vows no need to lie, enjoy
Take a ride, take a shot now
Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do
Who oo am I, what and why
Cos all I have left is my memories of yesterday
Ohh these sour times
Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do
After time the bitter taste
Of innocence decent or race
Scattered seeds, buried lives
Mysteries of our disguise revolve
Circumstance will decide ....
Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do
Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you
Nobody loves.. me
Its true
Not, like, you.. do

So many times I try to make you understand
You never tried to see behind my smile
If I didn’t know you like I do
I’d get you into the secret in me
Just because I’m good at fooling you
When no one’s around I walk in your shoes
I’m smiling, while lying to you
I’m smiling, while lying to you
If you only knew
I always try to hide behind a painted smile
So many tears the public never see
If I didn’t know you like I do
I’ll get you into the secret in me
Just because I'm good at fooling you
When no one’s around I walk in your shoes
I’m smiling, while lying to you
I’m smiling, while lying to you
When it always seems true
I’m smiling, while lying to you
I’m smiling, while lying to you
If you only knew
I’m smiling, while lying to you
I’m smiling, while lying to you
If you only knew
I’m smiling, while lying to you
I’m smiling, while lying to you

BENGAWAN SOLO (SOLO RIVER)
Gesang
Bengawan Solo Solo river
Riwayatmu ini Your personal history
Sedari dulu jadi Has been subjected from days old
Perhatian insani To keen observation
Musim kemarau At dry season
Tak brapa airmu Not much water is in you
Dimusim hujan air At rain season
Meluap sampai jauh Your waters flood over to yonder
Mata airmu dari Solo Your well springs in Solo
Terkurung gunung seribu Surrounded by Mts. 1000
Air mengalir sampai jauh Your water flows reaching far
Akhirnya kelaut To end in the sea
Itu perahu That's a boat
Riwatyatmu dulu This is your past history
Kaum pedagang slalu The merchant class always
Naik itu perahu Board on that boat

Like A Hurricane
Neil Young
Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
Somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but I get so blown away.
I am just a dreamer, and you are just a dream,
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That moment when time just slips away,
Between us on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but I get so blown away.
Yeah yeah, hi hi, yeah, blown away
Yeah yeah, hi hi, yeah.
I am just a dreamer, and you are just a dream,
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That moment when time just slips away,
Between us on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but I get so blown away.
