"Protection" de Everything But The Girl


This girl I know needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
But you don't want to get involved
You tell her she can manage
And you can't change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her

I know you want to live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way
You found her

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection (2x)

She's a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes you look so small, look so small
You've got a baby of your own
When your baby's grown, she'll be the one
To catch you when you fall

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection (2x)

You´re a girl and I´m a boy (4x)

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
And I've leaned on me
Now you can lean on me
And that's more than love, that's the way It should be

Now I can't change the way you think
But I can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal, that's the way I feel
I put my arms around you

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection (2x)

You´re a girl and I´m a boy (4x)
 

"Solsbury Hill" de Peter Gabriel


Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city lights
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
I just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."

To keepin' silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
'Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."

"I Am What I Am" de Gloria Gaynor

 
I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook
Or the ovation
It's my world
That I want to have a little pride
My world
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a dam
Till I can say
I am what I am

I am what I am
I don't want praise
I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise
I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a shame
Till you can shout out
I am what I am

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out
I am what I am

I am what I am

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the aces
sometimes the deuces

It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out
I am what I am

I am I am I am good
I am I am I am strong
I am I am I am worthy
I am I am I belong
I am
I am
Who whoooo etc.
I am

I am I am I am useful
I am I am I am true
I am I am somebody
I am as good as you

Yes I am

"The Long And Winding Road" de John Lennon & Paul McCartney (para M.C.)


The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door

The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway you've always known
The many ways I've tried

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago
Don't keep me standing here
Lead me to your door

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me standing here
Lead me to your door

"Beautiful" de Christina Aguilera


Don't look at me

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed


I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today


To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone
Is that the way it is?


You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
So don't you bring me down today...


No matter what we do
(No matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(No matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
(And everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(Sun will always shine)
But tomorrow we might awake
On the other side


'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
So, don't you bring me down today


Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

 

"You Are So Beautiful" de Joe Cocker


You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see?

You're everything I've hoped for
You're everything I need

You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see

You're everything I've hoped for
You're everything I need

You are so beautiful
To me

"Like A Rolling Stone" de Bob Dylan


Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

"Here Comes The Sun" de George Harrison


Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right


Little darling
It's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right


Little darling
The smiles returning to the faces
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right


Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...


Little darling
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
It's all right
It's all right

 

"Don't Give Up" de Peter Gabriel


In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight
Taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face
I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'Cause somewhere there's a place where we belong

Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up

Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'Cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong

"Let It Be" de John Lennon & Paul McCartney


When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom:
Let it be


And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom:
Let it be


Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom:
Let it be


And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer:
Let it be


For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer:
Let it be


Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer:
Let it be


Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom:
Let it be


Let it be, let it be
Let it be
Yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom:
Let it be


And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow
Let it be


I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be


Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer:
Let it be


Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer:
Let it be


Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom:
Let it be

"With A Little Help From My Friends" de John Lennon & Paul McCartney


What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.


Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mm, Gonna try with a little help from my friends.


What do I do when my love is away?
(does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(are you sad because you're on your own?)


No, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mm, Gonna try with a little help from my friends


Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.


Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.


Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mm, Gonna try with a little help from my friends.


Do you need anybody?
I just need someone to love,
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.


Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends.
Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends,
Yes, I get by with a little help from my friends,
With a little help from my friends


"God Gave Rock 'N' Roll To You II" de Kiss


God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone


Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
And you're getting less than what you're looking for


You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishing on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar


Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone


"Now listen":
If you wanna be a singer or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five


You can take a stand or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start living till you realize


"I gotta tell ya!"

God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in your soul


God gave rock and roll to you
(To everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone


God gave rock and roll to you
(To everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you
Saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll


God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in your soul


"I know life sometimes can get tough!
And I know life sometimescan be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift,
We have been given a road
And that road's name is... Rock and Roll!"

"Time After Time" de Cyndi Lauper


Lying in my bed
I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flash back warm night, almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after

Sometime you pictured me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me
I can't hear what you've said
Then you said, "Go slow, I fall behind"
The second hand unwinds

CHORUS:
If you're lost you can look
And you will find me, time after time
If you fall I will catch you
I'll be waiting, time after time
If you're lost you can look
And you will find me, time after time
If you fall I will catch you
I'll be waiting, time after time

After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

(CHORUS)

You said, "Go slow, I fall behind"
The second hand unwinds

CHORUS)

Time after time ...

"Pass The Vibes" de Definition of Sound


Chorus:
Pass the vibes, I wanna take it easy
Just flow, baby, just flow

2pm, it's raining outside
Now Floyd had no plan to steal himself a new ride
But Simone lived on the other side of town
It's been a week since she's defined her sound
Splashing water on his face
There goes the phone
It's a babe from last night
Saving she wants to get him on his own
He vaguely recalls, but don't know her name
He plays it cool and conversates all the same
He says...

Chorus X 2

She says
Meet me at the corner of your block at ten o'clock
I got a figure-hugging dress, and I know what I got
She's obviously got taste, so who am I to refuse
Besides, Simone's out of reach and she's got the blues
He says I'll be there, I'll see you later
Later on I'll pass that vibe on
Five to ten, the mood is set
He strolls outside, still wondering what he's gonna get
So pass the vibes

Chorus X 2

There she is on the corner 
She's right on time
The face looks so familiar
The figure lines are fine
She says, my name is Mona
Simone is my sister
I've been sent to prevent you from stealing a ride
Don't say a word, hold my hand and walk home
If you take it easy, we'll pass the vibes

Chorus X 4

If you take it easy, we'll pass the vibes

Repeat chorus to fade

"Isn't She Lovely?" de Stevie Wonder


Isn't she lovely?
Isn't she wonderfull?
Isn't she precious?
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love


Isn't she pretty?
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love


Isn't she lovely?
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That's so very lovely made from love

"Close To You" de Burt Bacharach & Hal David (para L.B.)


Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near
Just like me, they long to be close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be close to you

On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the boys in town follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be close to you
