What A Wonderful World - Esperanza Spalding


I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

meaning byryanrrob
Hey guys - I got distracted during class and translated the song to French. Let me know what you think! Je vois des arbres de verts, roses rouges aussi Je… See All
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world

Got My Mojo Workin' - Muddy Waters


Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you
Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so bad, I don't know what to do

Going down to Louisiana to get me a mojo hand
Going down to Louisiana to get me a mojo hand
I'm gonna have all you women under my command

Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you

I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice
I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice
I got a whole lottsa tricks keepin' her around

All The Things She Said - t.A.T.u.



All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
Running through my head
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
Running through my head
All the things she said
This is not enough

I'm in serious shit, I feel totally lost
If I'm asking for help it's only because
Being with you has opened my eyes
Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?

I keep asking myself, wondering how
I keep closing my eyes but I can't block you out
Want to fly to a place where it's just you and me
Nobody else so we can be free
Nobody else so we can be free

All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
Running through my head
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
Running through my head
All the things she said
This is not enough
This is not enough

All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said

And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed
They say it's my fault but I want her so much
Want to fly her away where the sun and rain
Come in over my face, wash away all the shame
When they stop and stare, don't worry me
'Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me
I can try to pretend, I can try to forget
But it's driving me mad, going out of my head

All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
Running through my head
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
Running through my head
All the things she said
This is not enough
This is not enough

All the things she said

Mother looking at me
Tell me what do you see?
Yes, I've lost my mind

Daddy looking at me
Will I ever be free?
Have I crossed the line?

All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
Running through my head
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
Running through my head
All the things she said
This is not enough
This is not enough

All the things she said

Mellow Yellow - Donovan


I'm just mad about Saffron
Saffron's mad about me
I'm just mad about Saffron
She's just mad about me

[Chorus: ]
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

I'm just mad about Fourteen
Fourteen's mad about me
I'm just mad about Fourteen
She's just mad about me

[Chorus]

Born high, forever to fly
Wind velocity nil
Want to high, forever to fly
If you want your cup our fill

[Chorus]

(So mellow, he's so mellow)

Electrical banana
Is gonna be a sudden craze
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase

They call it mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

You Never Can Tell - Chuck Berry



It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell


They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale,
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell


They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell


They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53,
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

Virtual Insanity - Jamiroquai



Oh yeah, what we're living in (let me tell ya)
It's a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us
And I'm giving all my love to this world
Only to be told
I can't see
I can't breathe
No more will we be
And nothing's going to change the way we live
Cos' we can always take but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse,
See, its a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these -

Futures made of virtual insanity now
Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground

Son of a Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield


Billy-ray was a preacher's son 
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along 
When they gathered round and started talkin' 
That's when billy would take me walkin' 
A-through the back yard we'd go walkin' 
Then he'd look into my eyes 
Lord knows to my surprise 

The only one who could ever reach me 
Was the son of a preacher man 
The only boy who could ever teach me 
Was the son of a preacher man 
Yes he was, he was, mmm, yes he was 

Being good isn't always easy 
No matter how hard I try 
When he started sweet-talkin' to me 
He'd come and tell me everything is all right 
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right 
Can I get away again tonight? 

The only one who could ever reach me 
Was the son of a preacher man 
The only boy who could ever teach me 
Was the son of a preacher man 
Yes he was, he was, lord knows he was 

How well I remember 
The look that was in his eyes 
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly 
Takin' time to make time 
Tellin' me that he's all mine 
Learnin' from each other's knowing 
Lookin' to see how much we've grown 

And the only one who could ever reach me 
Was the son of a preacher man 
The only boy who could ever teach me 
Was the son of a preacher man 
Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was 
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man 
I guessed he was the son of a preacher man 
Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man 
Ahh, move me

Stuck In The Middle With You - Stealers Wheel



Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared, in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Well, you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawlin'
Slap you on the back and say, 'Please, please'

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor'
Well, I don't think that I can take anymore

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Well, you started out with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawlin'
Slap you on the back and say, 'Please, please'

Yeah, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared, in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Heart of Gold - Neil Young




I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind,
it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

Keep me searching
for a heart of gold
You keep me searching
And I'm growing old
Keep me searching
for a heart of gold
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold

Nothing left to lose - The Alan Parsons Project




Nothing's good the news is bad
The heat goes on and it drives you mad
Scornful thoughts that fly your way

You should turn away cause there's nothing more to say
You gave the best you had to give
You only had one life to live
You fought so hard you were a slave

After all you gave there was nothing left to save
You've got nothing left to lose (you've got nothing left to lose)
No you've got nothing left to lose (who'd want to be standing in your shoes)
Nothing ventured nothing gained

No more lingering doubt remained
Nothing sacred or profane
Everything to gain
Cause you've nothing left
