Lyrics

Always On My Mind (Tiki Taane)

OooOOoo
OooOOOooooO

Yeah
You're always on my mind, girl
Don't you know that you're always..

I remember when,
when I first met you
I knew just what to do -
I had to get to know,
to get to know you right
through the dark cos' you're my light

You're always on my mind
Now the wait is all gone,
for you I wrote this song, girl
You don't know what you've got
until your world has gone
this is why why our love is strong

Chorus
Girl you got me singing with some melody
You're always on my mind
this is what you do to me
Girl you got me singing with some harmony,
Forever you're my queen and baby girl I'm your king, yeah

I am not afraid, afraid to say the words -
even if my brothers heard.
Because of what you made,
And what you mean to me,
you have given everything.

You have changed my life
more than you ever know,
this is why I have to show, girl
That you are everything,
and everything to me,
baby girl I hope you'll say

Chorus

You're always on my mind girl
Oh don't you know that you're always,
You're always on my mind girl
Yeeaa
You're always on my mind girl
Don't you know that you're always,
you're always on my mind girl
Yeaa

Pan American (Percy Faith & His Orchestra)

I have heard your stories about your fast trains
But now IÃÂ¢??ll tell you about one all the southern folks have seen|g
SheÃÂ¢??s the beauty of the southlands listen to that whistle scream
ItÃÂ¢??s that pan american on her way to new or-leans.

She leaves cincinnati headinÃÂ¢?? down that dixie line
When she passes that nashville tower you can hear that
Whistle whine
Stick your head right out the window and feel that southern breeze
Your on that pan american on her way to new or-leans.

If your ever in the south lands and want to see the scenes
Just get your self a ticket on that pan american queen
ThereÃÂ¢??s louivill nashville montgomery the capÃÂ¢??tal of ala-bam
You pass right through then all when your new orleans bound.

She leaves cincinnati headinÃÂ¢?? down that dixie line
When she passes that nashville tower you can hear that
Whistle whine
Stick your head right out the window and feel that southern breeze
Your on that pan american on her way to new or-leans.

Kings Of Eternity (Power Quest)

A crash of thunder, lightning starts to glow
Standing in the rainstorm you feel so alone
And in the distance can you hear the sound of something new
The sun is hidden now, no rainbows can arise
All across the land the people look up to the skies
Can you see what's coming, do you understand what's gonna be?

Call our name and we'll be there
Stand beside us in the glory you'll share
We will be your guardians for all time.

Kings of Eternity, come to set you free
Breaking the chains for all humanity
Kings of Eternity, nothing left to fear
We are immortal, Kings of Eternity.

We stand among you, this dark and fateful night
Dispel the darkness in a blazing flash of light
We have all the answers; do you doubt that we can save you now?

We walk among you, we walk on higher ground
All of us together let us gather all around
Look into the future; see the way that things are gonna be

Call our name and we'll be there
Stand beside us in the glory you'll share
We will be your guardians for all time.

Kings of Eternity, come to set you free
Breaking the chains for all humanity
Kings of Eternity, nothing left to fear
We are immortal, Kings of Eternity.

Call our name and we'll be there
Stand beside us in the glory you'll share
We will be your guardians for all time.

Kings of Eternity, come to set you free
Breaking the chains for all humanity
Kings of Eternity, nothing left to fear
We are immortal, we are the Kings.

Kings of Eternity, come to set you free
Breaking the chains for all humanity
Kings of Eternity, nothing left to fear
We are immortal, Kings of Eternity.

Demons (Bayside)

You could never really win
not to say you're born to lose
you were born to take 10th place out of 20 in the field
mistakes flow through your veins in a mediocre way

your life's a living hell
you've got gremlins in your blood cells
and monsters in your bed
their haunting you again
oh it must be this place at least thats what you say, say, say

you don't love you anymore
cast your demons aside
keep them close enough to know what your running from
soon you wont feel this anymore
cast your demons aside
keep them close enough to know that your moving on

the fire used to burn
in your heart and in your eyes
you used to dream you used to care you used to love you used to fight
for anything at all
you cover up your bedroom wall with who u want to be
now your afraid to be yourself so u search the mall for something else
You read magazines and watch MTV
you practiced it and everything
oh your dressed to impressed but you look like a drag queen

you don't love you anymore
cast your demons aside
keep them close enough to know what your running from
soon you wont feel this anymore
cast your demons aside
keep them close enough to know that your moving on

so keep your head up high
stretch inches into miles
because Brooklyn wasn't built in just a day
focus on important things
be your own gun like every ghost that held you down was gone
keep them close enough to know that your moving on

you don't love you anymore
cast your demons aside
keep them close enough to know what your running from
soon you wont feel this anymore
cast your demons aside
keep them close enough to know that your moving on

Wicked Queen (Dragon Red)

Aint no rest for the wicked queen
Mary Jane be my dream Im addicted
Now Im like a fiend who said life was simple
I need the green to go
To the plans in my head Ive never been before
Its a miracle come on vamos puso-pedos
Fumando lamota con-mis-ermanos
See no hear no be no witness
Like Spiderman MJ be my weakness
Your choice you wanna play the game
You understand the price you paid for fame
So come with me to higher grounds
If you wanna fly with the birds
With the higher sounds if you wanna bounce

Bubbles-bubbles contains the dark green bottle falls (falls)
The smoky presence of Mary Jane calls (calls)
Never-never land; you know where she's from
Turns your inner mind and soul from dark to warm
A floating likeness that's the moment she offers
Putting one in real slumber her touch is the softess

She really makes you high
Makes you want to fly (aint no rest for the wicked queen)
But the choice is yours (Mary Jane be my dream)
To take it you are forewarned

Wrestle your thoughts calling her name one look at Mary Jane (Jane)
We all know the game is everybody going for that fame (fame)
Strange feelings with unknown satisfaction
Mere boost of strength for your imagination
"I Love You Mary Jane" that's what Cypress say
We about to hit it does she dance and play

Its a miracle come on vamos puso-pedos
Fumando lamota con-mis-ermanos

Cry Baby Cry (Fools Garden)

Cry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

The king of Marigold was in the kitchen
cooking breakfast for the queen
The queen was in the parlor playing piano
for the children of the king

Cry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

The king was in the garden picking flowers
for a friend who came to play
The queen was in the playroom painting pictures
for the children's holiday

Cry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

The duchess of Kirkcaldy always smiling
and arriving late for tea
The duke was having problems with the message
at the local Bird and Bee

Cry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

Twelve o'clock a meeting 'round the table
for a sentence in the dark
With voices out of nowhere put on specially
by the children for a lark

Cry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

Desperado (Me First And The Gimme Gimmes)

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
The queen of hearts is always your best bet
And now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, freedom, some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Away?

Oh, desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you,
Let somebody love you,
You better let somebody love you, before it's too...

Vanity (Las Estrellas Vallenatas)

Midnight at the glamour show on a Sunday Night
Everybody drink alotta whiskey and wine
We dance like no tomorrow

Nothin' wrong with being just a little bit vain
We need a little pretty cuz this country's insane

Our Empire (BlutEngel)

We come out of the dark
And we hunt for your soul
You can never escape our vampire flair

We will find you in the night
And we show you our world
We bring you immortality

You say you don't believe in a transcental power
You only believe in things that you can see with your own eyes

Believe me, my mortal friend
There's so much more to see

An empire full of pleasures
It's the place for you to be

Don't you want to live forever and don't you want to fly
Like an inocent angel
You will fly up to the sky

You won't grow older and your beauty never fades
Empires will rise and fall
But our race is meant to stay

Matud Nila - In 1941, at the outbreak of the second World War, a guerilla fighter from Cebu in central Philippines named Ben Zubiri composed the song Matud Nila ("They Say" in English). Pilita Corrales born also in Cebu was only two years old then, a mestiza, (of Spanish and Austronesian) ancestry. It was Pilita's impeccable rendition of the song in the 1960's that made it so por and labeled by some as the cultural anthem of the Cebuanos. The Tagalog version of the song is titled "Ikaw Lamang" (..Kalungkutan sa unang pag-ibig). She demonstrated her range as a gifted performer of Spanish, English, Cebuano and Tagalog music. In 1958, Pilita began her recording career in Melbourne, Australia and holds the distinction of being the first female artist to top the Australian pop music charts long before Helen Reddy, Olivia Newton John and Kylie Minogue. Subsequently, her reputation grew and during her international stints, she has performed with internationally acclaimed artists like Sammy Davis Jr., the Beatles, Bob Hope, Pat Boone, Frank Sinatra and Julie Andrews. She also holds the distinction of being the first Filipino to win in an international music festival by bagging the Best Performer Award during the 1st Tokyo Music Festival (1972) where she bested numerous international artists including the highly-regarded Olivia Newton John. In the Philippines, she still enjoys a reputation as "singing icon and living legend."
Back to "Matud Nila": In a country that speaks eleven major languages and some eighty-seven dialects, an attempt to translate successfully from the original native language requires not only an operational knowledge of the original language but also a familiarity of, or a complete immersion in, the culture of the people whose language is being translated. A caution is therefore offered here that in the process of translating the Visayan Lyrics into English, the original flavor of the original work and the sensations they evoke in its original eloquence may be lost.
