Strange lady in town, strange lady in town.

She's all that any man could ever hope or pray for.

If I were king, I'd trade the crown,

For that strange, strange lady in town.

(Strange lady in town.)

Oh, heart of mine, you're in danger,

There's a strange lady in town.

Who is this heart-stealin' stranger?

Who is turnin' the town upside down.

Here hair is red as the settin' sun.

Her lips are ripe as the corn.

The lights that rise in her sea-green eyes,

Make a man kinda glad he was born.

Strange lady in town, strange lady in town.

She's all that any man could ever hope or pray for.

If I were king, I'd trade the crown,

For that strange, strange lady in town.

(Strange lady in town.)

Ain't got no ring for her finger,

And I can't buy her a gown.

But rain or shine, I'll still make her mine.

That strange, strange lady in town.

Strange lady in town, strange lady in town.

She's all that any man could ever hope or pray for.

If I were king, I'd trade the crown,

For that strange, strange lady in town.

(Strange lady in town.)

Strange lady in town.

(Strange lady in town.)

Strange lady in town.

(Strange lady in town.)

Strange lady in town.

PAUL ANKA

Composers: Frank sullivan; James Michael peterik; daniel Jones; darren hayes & jim peterik

ALBUM: PAUL ANKA ROCK SWINGS

Label: verve records

Genre: swing

Year: 2005

Rock Swings is na album by Paul Anka. Recorded in November 2004 and released on May 31, 2005 in Canada and June 7, 2005 in the United States, it contains swing jazz covers of popular rock and pop songs from the 1980s and 1990s.

The idea of an established vocalist giving rock hits a "standards" treatment was earlier realized by Anka's contemporary Pat Boone in the 1997 album, In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy, with Boone doing covers of songs by Alice Cooper, Van Halen and Judas Priest. That same year, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé covered Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" in a lounge-jazz style on the 1997 compilation album release, Lounge-A-Palooza. Anka also covers "Black Hole Sun" on Rock Swings.

Reportedly, the Michael Jackson song "Billie Jean" was slated to be on the album in the recording stages, but Paul Anka could not get through a vocal take without bursting into laughter. The album features 'It's My Life' by Bon Jovi, a song which includes the line "Like Frankie said, 'I did it my way'" - a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Sinatra classic My Way, the English lyrics to which were written by Anka.

After the release of this album, Anka was awarded a star on Canada's Walk of Fame in Toronto. A DVD release of the same name, including live performances of these songs by Anka, was released on December 6, 2005.

Risin' up, back on the street

Took my time, took my chances

Went the distance

Now I'm back on my feet

Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast

You trade your passion for glory

Don't lose your grip

On the dreams of the past

You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger

It's the thrill of the fight

Risin' up to the challenge

Of our rival

And the last known survivor

Stalks his prey in the night

And his fortune must always be

Eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat

Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry

They stack the odds

Still we take to the street

For the kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger

It's the thrill of the fight

Risin' up to the challenge

Of our rival

And the last known survivor

Stalks his prey in the night

And his fortune must always be

Eye of the tiger

Risin' up straight to the top

Had the guts, got the glory

Went the distance

Now I'm not gonna stop

Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger

It's the thrill of the fight

Risin' up to the challenge

Of our rival

And the last known survivor

Stalks his prey in the night

And his fortune must always be

Eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger

festival eurovisão da canção 2003

genre: eletropop

year: 2003

"Cry Baby" (em português: "Chora querida/querido") foi a canção que representou o Reino Unido no Festival Eurovisão da Canção 2003 que teve lugar em Riga, capital da Letónia em 25 de maio desse ano.

A referida canção foi interpretada em inglês pelo duo Jemini. Foi a décima-quinta a ser interpretada na noite do festival, a seguir à canção dos Países Baixos "One More Night", cantada por Esther Hart e antes da canção da Ucrânia "Hasta la vista, interpretada porOleksandr Ponomaryov/Олександр Пономарьов. Terminou em 26.º e último lugar, não tendo conseguido alcançar um único ponto de nenhum dos outros júris: 0 pontos. Muitos europeus (como o apresentador britânico Terry Wogan) conjeturaram que essa classificação se deveu não apenas à fraca qualidade da canção (considerada pelos críticos britânicos como uma das piores canções do Reino Unido no Festival Eurovisão da Canção), mas também ao apoio ferveroso que Tony Blair (primeiro-ministro britânico da altura) deu a George W. Bush para o começo da Guerra do Iraque, precisamente cerca de dois meses antes (20 de março de 2003).

No ano seguinte, em 2004, o Reino Unido seria representado por James Fox que interpretou o tema "Hold onto our love".

Love, love's not enough

I need your trust

But you don't try anymore

Hun, you still turn me on

Though your love has gone

And I don't want to cry anymore

I thought our love would last forever

Bye bye baby

You lied to me baby

I must have been crazy

Baby, bye bye

Cry, cry baby

You lied to me baby

Survive without you baby

Baby, bye, Baby, bye bye

You're, living a lie

You won't say goodbye

You just keep me hanging on

I've got my whole life to live

Got more love to give

Got to get a life of my own

I know you're looking for something else

Not gonna settle for anything less, so....

Bye bye baby

You lied to me baby

I must have been crazy

Baby Bye Bye

It's your turn to cry, cry cry baby

You lied to me baby

I'll survive without you baby

Baby, bye, baby, bye bye

Bye bye baby

You lied to me baby

I must have been crazy

Bye Bye

It's your turn to cry

Cry cry baby

You lied to me baby

I'll survive without you baby

Baby, bye, baby, bye bye

I've had enough of baby love

I need a love that's strong and tough

Someone to hold me when things get rough

I need a love that's big enough

Bye bye baby

You lied to me baby

I must have been crazy

Baby bye bye

Cry, cry baby

You lied to me baby

I'll survive without you baby

Baby, bye, baby, bye bye

Bye bye baby

You lied to me baby

I must have been crazy

Baby

It's your turn to cry

Cry cry baby

(Oh no)

Cry cry baby

(I don't wanna cry)

Cry cry baby

Baby bye Baby bye bye

(baby bye byeeeeeeee)

Ooooh baby

Bye bye

(Oh yeah)

Oh baby bye bye

Cry Baby (x 5)

If tomorrow is judgement day (sing mommy)

And I'm standin' on the front line

And the Lord ask me what I did with my life

I will say I spent it with you

If I wake up in World War 3

I see destruction and poverty

And I feel like I want to go home

It's okay if you're coming with me

Cause your love is my love

and my love is your love

It would take an eternity to break us

And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

Cause your love is my love

and my love is your love

It would take an eternity to break us

And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

If I lose my fame and fortune

And I'm homeless on the street

And I'm sleepin' in Grand Central Station

It's okay if you're sleepin' with me

As the years they pass us by

we stay young through each other's eyes

And no matter how old we get

It's okay as long as I got you babe

Cause your love is my love

and my love is your love

It would take an eternity to break us

And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

Cause your love is my love

and my love is your love

It would take an eternity to break us

And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

If I should die this very day

Don't cry, cause on earth we wasn't meant to stay

And no matter what people say

I'll be waiting for you after judgement day

Cause your love is my love

and my love is your love

It would take an eternity to break us

And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

Cause your love is my love

and my love is your love

It would take an eternity to break us

And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

Cause your love is my love

and my love is your love

It would take an eternity to break us

And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
