    Matacuervos
    Composer(s): T. Méndez
    Performer(s): Raphael



    Paisaje de Campogrado
    Todo es silencio y grandiosidad
    Sólo el rumor de las aves
    Rompe el arrullo de la soledad
    Las nubes vienen sombreando
    A Matacuervos que ya sanó
    Torazo que fue indultado
    Que nunca en la vida jamás les pidió
    Matacuervos, Matacuervos
    Por algo te puse así
    Yo vi llevarse en tus cuernos
    A cuervos traviesos cuando eras así
    Matacuervos, Matacuervos
    La plaza entera te vio llorar
    Cuando bravo te negabas
    Y tú no querías el ruedo dejar
    La luna en el Campogrado
    Mientras que alumbra rezando está
    Verónicas de oro y seda
    En Matacuervos pensando está
    La niebla viene bajando
    Con Matacuervos quiere jugar
    Que así jugaban antaño
    Cuando era un becerro
    Becerro sin par

    Old Flames (Can't Hold A Candle To You)
    Composer(s): Pebe Sebert; Hugh Moffatt
    Performer(s): Dolly Parton;
    and various other artists



    Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who
    I use to take comfort from long before I met you
    I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire
    With a word, or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire

    Old flames can't hold a candle to you
    No one can light up the night like you do
    Flickering embers of love
    I've known one or two
    But old flames can't hold a candle to you

    Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known
    I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
    Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone
    Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn

    Old flames can't hold a candle to you
    No one can light up the night like you do
    Flickering embers of love
    I've known one or two
    But old flames can't hold a candle to you
    Old flames can't hold a candle to you
    Mmmm ......

    Masterpiece
    Composer(s): Kenny Nolan
    Performer(s): Atlantic Starr



    A simple touch of your hand
    And everything is right
    The gentle way you look at me
    When we kiss goodnight
    You've given me the freedom no other love has known
    And now I thank you girl, thank you girl

    The countless ways you've touched my heart
    Is more than I can say
    The beauty that you've shown to me
    takes my breath away
    A picture perfect painting, that's what our love is
    And yes I need you so, and now I know

    Chorus:
    ooooh
    I've found a masterpiece in you
    a work of art it's true
    And I treasure you my love
    ooooh
    I've found a masterpiece in you
    a work of art it's true
    And I treasure you

    Sometimes I wonder what I'd be
    Had I not found you
    A least and lonely soul this world
    could show me nothing new

    But now my life's a canvas
    painted with your love
    And it will always be
    And now I see

    The two of us together
    Through time will never pass
    This fairy tale we shared
    is real inside our hearts
    let it be forever
    never let it end
    this promise I do make
    Heaven is ours to take

    Chorus

    When I'm lost and insecure
    you build me up and make me sure
    that everything will turn out right
    My love

    Chorus

    (This fairy tale we're sharing
    is real inside our hearts
    Let it be forever
    never let it end)

    Old Flame
    Composer(s): Donna Lowery; Mac McAnally
    Performer(s): Alabama; Lonzo & Oscar



    I saw you staring at each other
    I saw your eyes begin to glow
    And I could tell you once were lovers
    You ain't hidding nothing I don't know

    There's an old flame, burning in your eyes
    That tears can't drown, and make-up can't disguise
    That old flame may not be stronger, but it's been burning longer
    Than any spark I might have, started in your eyes

    You said it ended when he left you
    You say your love for him is gone
    But those old memories still upset you
    For I might be a memory before to long

    There's an old flame, burning in your eyes
    That tears can't drown, and make-up can't disguise
    That old flame may not be stronger, but it's been burning longer
    Than any spark I might have, started in your eyes

    'Cause there's an old flame, burning in your eyes

    Master Song
    Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
    Performer(s): Leonard Cohen



    I believe that you heard your master sing
    when I was sick in bed
    I suppose that he told you everything
    that I keep locked away in my head
    Your master took you travelling
    well at least that's what you said
    And now do you come back to bring
    your prisoner wine and bread?

    You met him at some temple, where
    they take your clothes at the door
    He was just a numberless man in a chair
    who'd just come back from the war
    And you wrap up his tired face in your hair
    and he hands you the apple core
    Then he touches your lips now so suddenly bare
    of all the kisses we put on some time before

    And he gave you a German Shepherd to walk
    with a collar of leather and nails
    and he never once made you explain or talk
    about all of the little details
    such as who had a word and who had a rock
    and who had you through the mails
    Now your love is a secret all over the block
    and it never stops not even when your master fails

    And he took you up in his aeroplane
    which he flew without any hands
    and you cruised above the ribbons of rain
    that drove the crowd from the stands
    Then he killed the lights in a lonely Lane
    and, an ape with angel glands
    erased the final wisps of pain
    with the music of rubber bands

    And now I hear your master sing
    you kneel for him to come
    His body is a golden string
    that your body is hanging from
    His body is a golden string
    my body has grown numb
    Oh now you hear your master sing
    your shirt is all undone

    And will you kneel beside this bed
    that we polished so long ago
    before your master chose instead
    to make my bed of snow?
    Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red
    and you're speaking far too low
    No I can't make out what your master said
    before he made you go

    Then I think you're playing far too rough
    for a lady who's been to the moon
    I've lain by this window long enough
    to get used to an empty room
    And your love is some dust in an old man's cough
    who is tapping his foot to a tune
    and your thighs are a ruin, you want too much
    let's say you came back some time too soon

    I loved your master perfectly
    I taught him all that he knew
    He was starving in some deep mystery
    like a man who is sure what is true
    And I sent you to him with my guarantee
    I could teach him something new
    and I taught him how you would long for me
    no matter what he said no matter what you'd do

    I believe that you heard your master sing
    while I was sick in bed
    I'm sure that he told you everything
    I must keep locked away in my head
    Your master took you travelling
    well at least that's what you said
    And now do you come back to bring
    your prisoner wine and bread?

    Performer(s): The Mills Brothers;
    and various other artists



    I’ve got that old-fashioned love in my heart
    And there, it shall always remain
    You’re like that old ivy vine
    Cling a little closer all the time
    Through the years, joy and tears, just the same

    I’ve got that old-fashioned dream in my heart
    And there it shall always be
    Although the land may change to sea
    It will never make any change in me
    I’ve got that old-fashioned love in my heart

    (Rep once more)

    Master Of The Universe
    Composer(s): Dave Brock; Nik Turner
    Performer(s): Hawkwind



    I am the centre of this universe
    The wind of time is blowing through me
    And it's all moving relative to me
    It's all a figment of my mind
    In a world that I've designed
    I'm charged with cosmic energy
    Has the world gone mad or is it me?

    I am the creator of this universe
    And all that it was meant to be
    So that we might learn to see
    This foolishness that lives in us
    And stupidity that we must suss
    How to banish from our minds
    If you call this living I must be blind

    (Old Dogs, Children And) Watermelon Wine
    Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
    Performer(s): Tom T. Hall;
    and various other artists



    "How old do you think I am," he said?
    I said, well, I didn't know
    He said, "I turned 65 about 11 months ago"

    I was sittin' in Miami, pouring blended whiskey down
    When this old gray, black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge

    There wasn't anyone around, except this old man and me
    The guy who ran the bar was watching Ironside on TV
    Uninvited, he sat down and opened up his mind
    On old dogs and children and watermelon wine

    "Ever had a drink of watermelon wine," he asked
    He told me all about it, though I didn't answer back
    "Ain't but three things in this world that's worth a solitary dime
    But old dogs and children and watermelon wine"

    He said, "Women think about themselves, when men-folk ain't around
    And friends are hard to find when they discover that you're down"
    He said, "I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime
    Now it's old dogs and children and watermelon wine"

    "Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes
    God bless little children while they're still too young to hate"
    When he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line
    About old dogs and children and watermelon wine

    I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta that next day
    As I left for my room I saw him picking up my change
    That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime
    Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine

    Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road
    It's like trying to shovel smoke
    With a pitchfork in the wind, yeah

    Breezin' through the desert on a hot summer day
    I saw a human being lazy bonin' out in the hay
    I said, "Hey, Mister Human, can you 'Rainmaker' too?"
    He said, "I guess it's okay"
    You know the only thing I need is water
    Cool, clear water

    Ain't no people on the old dirt road

    It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
    You taught me all I know and I'll never look back
    It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack

    You took a colored ribbon from out of the sky
    And taught me how to use it as the years went by
    To tie up all your problems and make them look neat
    And then to sell them to the people in the street

    It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
    You taught me all I know and I'll never look back
    It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack

    I saw right through the way you started teaching me now
    So some day soon you could get to use me somehow
    I thank you very much and though you've been very kind
    But I'd better move along before you change my mind

    It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
    You know how I feel as if I'll never come back
    It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack

    You taught me all the things the way you'd like them to be
    But I'd like to see if other people agree
    It's all very interesting the way you disguise
    But I'd like to see the world through my own eyes

    It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
    No hard feelings if I never come back
    You're a very strange man and I thank you, Master Jack

    You're a very strange man and I thank you, Master Jack
    You're a very strange man and I thank you, Master Jack

    I look at you and suddenly
    Something in your eyes I see
    Soon begins bewitching me
    It's that old devil moon
    That you stole from the skies
    It's that old devil moon in your eyes

    You and you glance
    Make this romance
    Too hot to handle
    Stars in the night
    Blazing their light
    Can't hold a candle
    To your razzle-dazzle

    You've got me flyin' high and wide
    On a magic carpet ride
    Full of butterflies inside
    Wanna cry, wanna croon
    Wanna laugh like a loon
    It's that old devil moon in your eyes

    Just when I think, I'm
    Free as a dove
    Old devil moon
    Deep in your eyes
    Blinds me with love

    Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts
    Something's telling me I must go home
    And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
    The day I left her standing on her own

    Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
    Gotta do the things I wanna do
    And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
    They brought me back to see my way with you

    Talk about the life in Massachusetts
    Speak about the people I have seen
    And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
    And Massachusetts is one place I have seen

    I will remember Massachusetts...

    Holidays when they're near
    Bring back thoughts we hold dear
    Of old days, of old times and old friends

    With each gift that is bought
    Sent with it tender thoughts
    Of old days, of old times and old friends

    Wishing you the best is not enough on such a day
    So I pray that you
    Find all in life that's bright and gay

    It's that time of the year
    When each heart sheds a tear
    For old days, for old times and old friends

    When the porter yells Massachusetts
    I'll be there with bells, Massachusetts
    Homesick as can be, Massachusetts
    Only place for me, Massachusetts
    Got a special date
    With that New England State

    How my heart will knock, Massachusetts
    To see Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts
    Want to roam around, Massachusetts
    In Nantucket town, Massachusetts
    I can hardly wait
    I hope the train ain't late

    You can't guess how much it means for me to be there
    Childhood friends and childhood scenes for me to see there

    `Neath blue skies above, Massachusetts
    With the one I love, Massachusetts
    Just like Jack and Jill, Massachusetts
    We'll climb Bunker Hill, Massachusetts
    Spread the news around
    I'm Massachusetts bound

    As you walk to Lexington, you think of glory
    When those minute men were done, they left a story

    Where they speak with ee's, Massachusetts
    Boston if you pleese, Massachusetts
    Where they can't say can't, Massachusetts
    And where Aunt meets Aunt, Massachusetts
    Spread the news around
    I'm Massachusetts, Massachusetts bound

    Good times I remember

    Please take me back

    Seem like yesterday

    Old days
    Good times I remember
    Gold days
    Days I'll always treasure
    Funny faces
    Full of love and laughter
    Funny places
    Summer nights and streetcars
    Take me back
    To the world gone away
    Our good memories
    Seem like yesterday

    Old days ...

    Masquerade
    Composer(s): Charles Hart; Andrew Lloyd Webber;
    Richard Stilgoe; Mike Batt
    Performer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber



    The Staircase Of The Opera House:
    (A gauze half conceals the tableau of guests at the opera ball
    The guests (whom we cannot yet see clearly) are in fancy dress
    A peacock, a lion, a dragon, Mephistopheles, a highwayman, a clown
    knights, ladies, an executioner
    M. André enters
    He is dressed as a skeleton in an opera cape
    Almost immediately M. Firmin arrives
    He is also dressed as a skeleton in an opera cape
    The two skeletons see each other and approach nervously)

    André
    M'sieur Firmin?

    Firmin:
    M'sieur André?
    (Each raises his mask to the other
    They recognise each other)

    Firmin:
    Dear André, what a splendid party!

    André:
    The prologue to a bright new year!

    Firmin:
    Quite a night!
    I'm impressed!

    Firmin:
    Well, one does one's best ...

    André/Firmin: (raising their glasses)
    Here's to us!

    Firmin:
    I must say, all the same, that it's a shame that 'Phantom' fellow isn't here!

    (The gauze lifts fully to reveal the staircase of the opera house
    The opera ball begins
    Among the guests are four carrying strange percussion instruments
    a monkey with cymbals, a toy soldier with a drum, a triangle, bells
    Together they play weirdly throughout)

    Chorus:
    Masquerade!
    Paper faces on parade ...
    Masquerade!
    Hide your face, so the world will never find you!
    Masquerade!
    Every face a different shade ...
    Masquerade!
    Look around, there's another mask behind you!
    Flash of mauve ...
    Splash of puce ...
    Fool and king ...
    Ghoul and goose ...
    Green and black ...
    Queen and priest ...
    Trace of rouge ...
    Face of beast ...
    Faces ...
    Take your turn, take a ride on the merry-go-round ...
    in an inhuman race ...
    Eye of gold ...
    Thigh of blue ...
    True is false ...
    Who is who ...?
    Curl of lip ...
    Swirl of gown ...
    Ace of hearts ...
    Face of clown ...
    Faces ...
    Drink it in, drink it up, till you've drowned
    in the light ...
    in the sound ...

    Raoul/Christine:
    But who can name the face ...?

    All:
    Masquerade!
    Grinning yellows, spinning reds ...
    Masquerade!
    Take your fill - let the spectacle astound you!
    Masquerade!
    Burning glances, turning heads ...
    Masquerade!
    Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you!
    Masquerade!
    Seething shadows
    breathing lies ...
    Masquerade!
    You can fool any friend who ever knew you!
    Masquerade!
    Leering satyrs, peering eyes ...
    Masquerade!
    Run and hide - but a face will still pursue you!

    (The ensemble activity becomes background, as André, Firmin,
    Meg, Giry, Piangi and Carlotta come to the fore, glasses in hand)

    Giry:
    What a night

    Meg:
    What a crowd!

    André:
    Makes you glad!

    Firmin:
    Makes you proud!
    All the creme de la creme!

    Carlotta:
    Watching us watching them!

    Meg/Giry:
    And all our fears are in the past!

    André:
    Six months ...

    Piangi:
    Of relief!

    Carlotta:
    Of delight!

    André/Firmin:
    Of Elysian peace!

    Meg/Giry:
    And we can breathe at last!

    Carlotta:
    No more notes!

    Piangi:
    No more ghost!

    Giry:
    Here's a health!

    André:
    Here's a toast: to a prosperous year!

    Firmin:
    To the new chandelier!

    Piangi/Carlotta:
    And may its splendour never fade!

    Firmin:
    Six months!

    Giry:
    What a joy!

    Meg:
    What a change!

    Firmin/André:
    What a blessed release!

    André:
    And what a masquerade!

    (They clink glasses and move off
    Raoul and Christine emerge
    She is admiring a new acquisition: an engagement ring from Raoul
    which she has attached to a gold chain around her neck)

    Christine:
    Think of it!
    A secret engagement!
    Look - your future bride!
    Just think of it!

    Raoul:
    But why is it secret?
    What have we to hide?

    Christine:
    Please, let's not fight ...

    Raoul:
    Christine, you're free!

    Christine:
    Wait till the time is right ...

    Raoul:
    When will that be?
    It's an engagement, not a crime!

    Christine:
    What are you afraid of?

    Christine:
    Let's not argue ...

    Raoul:
    Let's not argue ...

    Christine:
    Please pretend ...

    Raoul:
    I can only hope I'll ...

    Christine:
    You will ...

    Both:
    ... understand
    in time ...

    (Dance section, in which Christine, almost coquettish almost jittery, goes from man to man
    But too many of her partners seem to be replicas of the Phantom
    and each spins her with increasing force
    Eventually Raoul rescues her and holds her tightly
    He whirls her back into the dance, as the music heads towards its climax)

    All:
    Masquerade!
    Paper faces on parade!
    Masquerade!
    Hide your face, so the world will never find you!
    Masquerade!
    Every face a different shade!
    Masquerade!
    Look around
    There's another mask behind you!
    Masquerade!
    Burning glances, turning heads ...
    Masquerade!
    Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you!
    Masquerade!
    Grinning yellows, spinning reds ...
    Masquerade!
    Take your fill - let the spectacle astound you

    Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
    Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot; Mac Wiseman



    Get out old Dan's records
    Get out old Dan's records
    We will dance the whole night long
    It's fun to play the old time songs
    If old Dan could see us now
    I know he'd be so proud

    Bring out old Dan's records
    Bring out old Dan's records
    I remember my Aunt Bea
    She'd dance with Dan till two or three
    If old Dan could see her now
    I know he'd shout out loud

    Dig out old Dan's records
    Bring out old Dan's records
    We're all here, we've all got dates
    We'll dance all night to the seventy-eights
    If old Dan could see us now
    I know he'd be so proud
    If old Dan was with us still
    I know he'd come around

    Get out old Dan's records
    Dig out old Dan's records
    Back to nineteen thirty-five
    The foxtrot, jitterbug and jive
    If old Dan could see us now
    I know he'd be so proud

    Get out old Dan's records
    Bring out old Dan's records
    High above the fireplace
    There's a smile on old Dan's face
    If old Dan could see us now
    I know he'd be so proud
    If old Dan was with us still
    I know he'd come around

    Maskeradbalen
    Composer(s): H.Å. Gäfvert; Lennart Hellsing
    Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog & Christian



    Vi skulle gå och dansa
    På trädgårdsmaskerad
    Då skulle vi klä ut oss
    Men visste ej till vad
    Men visste ej till vad

    Och en var klädd som strömming
    Med fenor och med stjärt
    Men när han kom till trädgårn
    En katt åt upp en tvärt
    En katt åt upp en tvärt

    Och en var klädd som blomma
    Jag tror han hette Klas
    Men honom tog en gumma
    Och satte i en vas
    Och satte i en vas

    Och en var klädd som tavla
    Med ram som var antik
    Men honom tog en gubbe
    Och hängde på en spik
    Och hängde på en spik

    Och en hon var en femma
    Så hon var aldrig pank
    Men henne tog en farbror
    Och satte in på bank
    Och satte in på bank

    Och en var klädd till smultron
    Så runt och rött som så
    Men henne tog en pojke
    Och trädde på ett strå
    Och trädde på ett strå

    Själv var jag klädd som snigel
    Jag var bekymmersam
    För hur jag gick och gick där
    Så kom jag aldrig fram
    Så kom jag aldrig fram

    Old Dan Tucker
    Composer(s): Daniel Decatur Emmett
    Performer(s): Burl Ives; Hardtack & Harmony



    I came to town just the other night
    I heard the noise and saw the fight
    Watchman was a runnin' roun'
    Old Dan Tucker's come to town

    (Chorus)
    So get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    He's too late to come for supper

    Dan, he went down to the mill
    to get some meal to put in the swill
    The miller swore by the point of his knife
    He never seen such a man in his life

    (Chorus)
    So get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    He's too late to come for supper

    Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
    Washed his face in a fryin' pan
    Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
    Died with a toothache in his heel

    (Chorus)
    So get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    He's too late to come for supper

    (Chorus)
    So get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    He's too late to come for supper

    (Chorus)
    So get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
    He's too late to come for supper
