Patsy Cline - Crazy



Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.

Written by Willie Nelson


Patsy Cline cantó esta canción después de que otro cantante no la quisiera, y la convirtió en la número 85 de la lista de las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos que elaboró la revista Rolling Stone. Durante un gira americana, The Cranberries tocaron una versión y LeAnn Rimes (la de la canción del Bar Coyote) también la ha versionado.

Patsy Cline made of this song (which another singer declined to sing) the #85 in the list of the best 500 songs of all time, by Rolling Stone. The Cranberries covered it during a US Tour. LeAnn Rimes (the one of Coyote Ugly's song) also covered it.

Roxette - She Doesn't Live Here Anymore



We grew up together, we've been here forever.
Barefoot in the summer, cold in stormy weather.
She taught me all there is, like magic and love,
Lots of forgotten words

But now, she doesn't live here anymore.
She's off and she's gone, she doesn't live here anymore.
I'm sorry that's all there is to it, I'm sorry that's all

She dressed just like a painter, a female street picasso
And i, I will remember the heaven in her laughter.
And the scent of her sweet perfume when we made love
Under an august moon

But now, she doesn't live here anymore.
She's off and she's gone, she doesn't live here anymore.
She's gone since long, so long, she doesn't live here anymore.
She took off and left home, she doesn't live here anymore.

I'm sorry that's all there is to it, I'm sorry that's all.
That's all.

Madonna - American Pie



A long long time ago I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew that if I had my chance
I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Now do you believe in rock 'n roll
And can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died

I started singing

Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news

But she just smiled and turned away
Well, I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

Well now in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire the most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

They started singing

Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die

Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die

We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin


Written by Don McLean

Esta canción fue escrita y originalmente grabada por Don McLean, para su disco American Pie, de 1971. Hoy hace 50 años que Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens (el de La Bamba) y The Big Bopper murieron en un accidente de avioneta, ese fue el día en que murió la música. En 2000, Madonna versionó la canción, recortándola al máximo, para la banda sonora de la película Algo Casi Perfecto (The Next Best Thing).

This song was written and first recorded by Don McLean in 1971, for the American Pie album. 50 years ago today, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper died in a plane crash, that was the day the music died. In 2000, Madonna covered (and shortened) the song for the soundtrack of The Next Best Thing.

The Cranberries - Go Your Own Way



Loving you isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things that I feel?

If I could, maybe I'd give you my world
How can I, when you won't take it from me?

You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way, go your own way

Tell me why everything turned around?
Packing up, shacking up, is all you wanna do

If I could baby I'd give you my world
Open up, everything's waiting for you

You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way, go your own way

You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day

You can go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way

New Order - Krafty



Some people get up at the break of day
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
That ain't the way it has to be

But that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we're living in today
Isn't where you wanna be
And isn't what you wanna do

Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've gotta let you know (I've gotta let you know)
I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind)
I'll never let you go

You've gotta look at life the way it oughta be
Looking at the stars from underneath a tree
There's a world inside and a world out there
With that tv you just don't care

They've got violence, wars and killing too
All shrunk down in a two-foot tube
But out there the world is a beautiful place
With mountains, lakes and the human race
And this is where I wanna be
And this is what I wanna do

Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (change your mind)
I'll never let you go

Just give me one more chance (one more chance)
Give me another night (just another night)
With just one more day (one more day)
Maybe we'll get it right (You know I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
If I could change your mind (change your mind)
I'll never let you go
