    Once Upon A Dream
    Composer(s): Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky - Sammy Fain - Jack Lawrence
    First performance by: Mary Costa & Bill Shirley
    Covered by multiple other artists



    [Princess Aurora]
    I know you
    I walked with you once upon a dream
    I know you
    The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
    Yet I know its true
    That visions are seldom all they seem
    But if I know you
    I know what you'll do
    You'll love me at once
    The way you did once
    Upon a dream

    But if I know you
    I know what you'll do
    You'll love me at once

    [Princess Aurora and Prince]
    The way you did once

    [Prince]
    Upon a dream

    [Prince]
    I know you
    I walked with you once upon a dream
    I know you
    The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam

    And I know its true
    That visions are seldom all they seem
    But if I know you
    I know what you'll do
    You'll love me at once
    The way I did once
    Upon a dream

    Carnival In Kenora
    Performer(s): Joni Mitchell



    Twinkle, twinkle, what a pity
    Alone alone on such a pretty night
    With enchantment on your side
    Popcorn, popcorn, cotton candy
    Soft voice whispered, "This all can be right
    If you come and share a ride"

    Carnival in Kenora
    I let him take me for a ride
    On a giant Ferris wheel
    Up in the neon sky
    Or far from the barker's cry
    One kiss can sometimes make you feel
    Like a spinning Ferris wheel

    All the tents are taken down now
    All that's left is scuffled ground now
    Still the magic echoes in the sand
    Popcorn, popcorn, cotton candy
    Now a stranger takes my hand; we smile
    And the magic understands

    Carnival in Kenora
    I let him take me for a ride
    On a giant Ferris wheel
    Up in the neon sky
    Or far from the barker's cry
    One kiss can sometimes make you feel
    Like a spinning Ferris wheel

    The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee
    Composer(s): Allan Clarke
    Performer(s): The Hollies



    Big tall man standing in the street
    Gun hanging by his side
    Just one man that he'd like to meet
    That's when I began to hide

    I recognised him from the face of his son
    The hate in his eye didn't lie
    Oh what I did can't be undone
    Borrowed time there's none to buy

    Well I hid round the back of a derelict shack
    Ain't looking for a mad showdown
    But he was smart, he'd already checked
    A week in advance I'd paid down

    Well the hotel clerk was a fun-loving man
    The job he had it didn't pay
    He told all about what happened that night
    There he is, that's the one's all he'd say

    Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping
    On my bad neighbours doors
    Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly
    Let me in I gotta hide
    Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgee's dying
    No one to protect our town
    Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly
    He's gonna shoot your sherriff down

    Big tall man standing in the street
    Now a hand hovering waiting to slide
    Drew out his gun it wasn't for fun
    Let me in there's nowhere to hide

    Well I made my play but it wasn't my day
    I felt the ripping lead
    That's when I knew my time was through
    Rest in peace were the last words he said

    Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping
    On my bad neighbours doors
    Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly
    Let me in I gotta hide
    Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgee's dying
    No one to protect our town
    Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly
    He's gonna shoot your sherriff down

    Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping
    On my bad neighbours doors
    Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly
    Let me in I gotta hide
    Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgee's dying
    No one to protect our town
    Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly
    He's gonna shoot your sherriff down

    Tonight let’s raise a glass my friend
    To those who couldn’t make it
    A century has shut it’s eyes
    And who are we to wake it?
    Cool music we play, dance and say

    Lives come and go but life no denial
    Is always in style
    Welcome to
    Carnival 2000
    Loves come and go but love above all
    Is belle of the ball
    We ask for any wrong we’ve done
    The years ahead forgive us
    We ask for any good we’ve done
    That all of it outlive us
    Cool music we play, dance and say
    Carnival 2000
    Lives come and go but life no denial
    Is always in style
    Welcome to
    Carnival 2000
    Loves come and go but love above all
    Is belle of the ball
    Welcome to

    Lives come and go but life no denial
    Is always in style
    Welcome to

    Five Short Minutes
    Composer(s): Jim Croce
    Performer(s): Jim Croce; The Ventures



    Well, she was standing by my dressing room after the show
    Asking for my autograph and asked if she could go
    Back to my motel room. But the rest is just a tragic tale
    Because five short minutes of lovin'
    Done brought me twenty long years in jail

    Well, like a fool in a hurry I took her to my room
    She casted me in plaster while I sang her a tune
    Then I said, "Ooh, ooee!" Sure was a tragic tale
    Because five short minutes of lovin'
    Done brought me twenty long years in jail

    Well, then a judge and a jury sat me in a room
    They say that robbin' the cradle is worse than robbin' the tomb
    Then I said "Ooh, ooee!" Sure was a tragic tale
    (Wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it!)
    Because five short minutes of lovin'
    Done brought me twenty long years in jail

    And when I get out of this prison gonna be forty-five
    I'll know I used to like to do it but I won't remember why
    (Wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it!)
    I'll say "Ooh, ooee! Sure was a tragic tale
    Because five short minutes of lovin'
    Done brought me twenty long years in jail

    Because five short minutes of lovin'
    Done brought me twenty long years in jail

    Day Of Jubilo
    Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
    Performer(s): Guy Mitchell



    (Tell it to the preacher and the blessings flow
    Tell it to the teacher, but he don’t know)
    Tell it to the poor man under the hill
    Tell it to the rich man makin’ his will
    Tell it but you won’t know
    Till the day of Jubilo

    Oh the Devil, he makes it thunder
    Every time he hollers loud
    The sun draws up the water
    And it rains right through the clouds
    The eagle’s wings, they fly so high
    They cause the wind to blow
    Now the only thing that bogs my mind
    I wonder what makes it snow

    (Tell it to the preacher and the blessings flow
    Tell it to the teacher, but he don’t know)
    Tell it to the poor man under the hill
    Tell it to the rich man makin’ his will
    Tell it but you won’t know
    Till the day of Jubilo

    Oh, the sun sits up above me
    The Heavens are all aglow
    The Devil, he don’t love me
    Got a place that we all know
    The closer to the sun you climb
    The hotter it’s gonna grow
    Now the only thing that bogs my mind
    How did it get hot below

    (Tell it to the preacher and the blessings flow
    Tell it to the teacher, but he don’t know)
    Tell it to the poor man under the hill
    Tell it to the rich man makin’ his will
    Tell it but you won’t know
    Till the day of Jubilo

    I got my share of troubles
    Trouble runnin’ everywhere
    Blowin’ up like a bubble
    Gonna bust itself a fare
    Now I’ve got troubles of every kind
    Brother that ain’t the half
    The only thing that bogs my mind
    I wonder what makes me laugh

    (Tell it to the preacher, and the blessings flow
    Tell it to the teacher, but he don’t know)
    Tell it to the poor man under the hill
    Tell it to the rich man makin’ his will
    Tell it but you won’t know
    Till the day of Jubilo
    Till the day... of... Ju...bi...lo

    Dreams lift my heart

    And stay here in my heart

    On this Carnival day
    Or will I be alone with my dream

    Van d’Heirnisse naar Ekkergem, langs de coupure naar Wondelgem

    Carnevale Composer(s): M. Luberti - Riccardo Cocciante Riccardo Cocciante



    Un sorriso di più
    O una lacrima in più
    Mentre il tempo vola
    Prima il bene e poi il male
    Poi lo zucchero e il sale
    Seccano la gola

    Carnevale
    E comincia cosi la mia recita
    Salto fuori di questa mia scatola
    E la mia faccia ride già

    Carnevale
    Basterà che io suoni un'armonica
    Per riempire ogni cosa di musica
    E tutto quando passerà
    Oggi è festa se vuoi per consolarci
    E festa se vuoi per aiutarci a cambiare la realtà

    Un giorno di più
    E anche un giorno di meno
    Perché il tempo vola
    Il silenzio fa male
    Ma anche troppe parole
    Seccano la gola

    Carnevale
    Se la vita mi sembra un po' stupida
    Tolgo un asso da questa mia manica
    E tutto quanto cambierà

    Carnevale
    Se ogni giorno mi sembra più inutile
    Ballo fino a stancarmi anche l'anima
    Che poi domani si vedrà
    Oggi è festa se vuoi per consolarci
    È festa se vuoi per aiutarci a cambiare la realtà

    Carnevale
    Per ognuno di noi c'è una maschera
    Se nasconde un sorriso o una lacrima
    Io non lo dico ma lo so

    Up every mornin' just to keep a job
    I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob
    Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
    While another day goes down the drain (yeah, yeah)

    But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
    No one owns a piece of my time
    And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes
    Thinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah

    (Scat: oh-de-lay-ee-ee, etc ...)

    Tradin' my time for the pay I get
    Livin' on money that I ain't made yet
    I've been goin' tryin' to make my way
    While I live for the end of the day (yeah, yeah)

    Cuz it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
    No one owns a piece of my time
    There's a long-haired girl who waits, I know
    To ease my troubled mind, yeah

    (Scat: oh-de-lay-ee-ee, etc ...)

    In the shelter of her arms everything's OK
    When she talks then the world goes slippin' away
    And I know the reason I can still go on
    When every other reason is gone, (yeah, yeah)

    In my five o'clock world she waits for me
    Nothing else matters at all
    Cuz every time my baby smiles at me
    I know that's it's all worthwhile, yeah

    Carne De Cañón
    Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



    Me confiesas tus dudas
    me dices que no sabes de qué va el Invento
    que esta broma pesada
    es obra más de la Locura que del Genio
    porque, cómo se explica
    estar aquí matando poco a poco el tiempo
    mientras él va matando
    al mismo tiempo y poco a poco nuestros sueños
    Y así es
    ya lo ves
    nada está al derecho todo está al revés
    la pasión
    la razón
    al final son sólo carne de cañón
    Carne de cañón...
    Me hablas del ser humano
    de Mr. Hyde y Dr. Jekyll cuerpo a cuerpo
    dando paso a la ciencia
    capaz de separar lo malo de lo bueno
    casi como los dioses
    que en él se miran como si fuera un espejo...
    pero a veces los mata
    y acaba convirtiendo el ciclo en un infierno
    Y así es...
    Dices que el semejante
    es como otra manera de ser uno mismo
    que lo que nos separa
    es algo tan endeble como lo distinto
    tan sutil diferencia
    no es causa para que yo sea tu asesino
    Qué maldito pecado
    merece la condena de tanto castigo
    Y así es...

    The five o'clock whistle's on the blink
    The whistle won't blow and whadd'ya think?
    My pop is still in the factory 'cause he don't know
    What time it happens to be

    The five o'clock whistle didn't blow
    The whistle is broke and whadda'ya know?
    If somebody don't find out what's wrong
    Oh, my pop'll be workin' all night long

    Oh! Who's gonna fix the whistle?
    Won't somebody fix the whistle?
    Oh! Who's gonna fix the whistle?
    So my poor old pop will know
    It's time for him to stop

    Ya ought to hear what my mommy said
    When papa came home and sneaked into bed
    And told her he worked till half past two
    'Cause the five o'clock whistle never blew

    Imaging a still summer's day
    When nothing is moving

    The warm sun was soothing.
    It made me feel good
    The day I met Marie

    The Sound of her whisper hello
    Came tiptoing softly into my head
    I opened my eyes kinda slow
    And there she was smiling
    It made me feel good
    The day I met Marie

    With the laughing eyes
    She'd toss her hair and tantalize
    She came to touch me then she's gone
    Just like a summer breeze

    I remember her kiss
    So soft on my brow
    And the way that she said
    Baby go to sleep now
    Baby go to sleep now

    I woke with the chill in the air
    The warm sun no longer hung in the sky
    I reached out but she was not there
    She'd gone where she came from
    But I still feel good
    To think i've known Marie
    With the laughing eyes
    She'd toss her hair and tantalize
    She came to touch me then she's gone
    Just like a summer breeze

    Carnations On The Roof Composer(s): Pete Atkin - Clive James Performer(s): Pete Atkin



    He worked setting tools for a multi-purpose punch
    In a shop that made holes in steel plates
    He could hear himself think through a fifty minute lunch
    Of the kids, gas and stoppages, the upkeep and the rates
    While he talked about Everton and Chelsea with his mates

    With gauge and micrometer, with level and with rule
    While chuck and punch were pulsing like a drum
    He checked the finished product like a master after school
    The slugs looked like money and the cutting-oil like scum
    And to talk with a machinist he made signals like the dumb

    Though he had no great gifts of personality or mind
    He was generally respected, and the proof
    Was a line of hired Humbers tagging quietly behind
    A fat Austin Princess with carnations on the roof

    Forty years of metal tend to get into your skin
    The surest coin you take home from your wage
    The green cleaning-jelly only goes to rub it in
    And that glitter in the wrinkle of your knuckle shows your age
    Began when the dignity of work was still the rage

    He was used and discarded in a game he didn't own
    But when the moment of destruction came
    He showed that a working man is more than flesh and bone
    The hands on his chest flared more brightly than his name
    For a technicolor second as he rolled into the flame

    Though he had no great gifts of personality or mind
    He was generally respected, and the proof
    Was a line of hired Humbers tagging quietly behind
    A fat Austin Princess with carnations on the roof

    Five More Miles To Folsom
    Performer(s): Lee Hazlewood



    Five more miles to Folsom
    This train can't move too slow
    Ninety-nine years at Folsom
    Then they'll let me go

    Shot a man in Dallas
    He made a fool of me
    Thought they never catched me
    How wrong can one guy be

    Five more miles to Folsom
    This train can' t move too slow
    Ninety-nine years at Folsom
    Then they'll let me go

    Let my love at the station
    Cryin' in the rain
    Broke her heart at the station
    'Cause I couldn't explain

    Five more miles to Folsom
    This train can' t move too slow
    Ninety-nine years at Folsom
    Then they'll let me go

    Sit and stare out my window
    At someone else's moon
    And ask why was I born
    Ninety-nine years too soon

    Planté comme une sirène aux sargasses
    Planté par un joint de culasse
    Planté sur une ligne R A T P
    Planté sur une route défoncée
    Non je ne suis pas le seul à qui c'est arrivé
    Tout le monde un jour s'est planté

    Planté comme un flic sans pétard
    Planté comme un pochard au comptoir
    Planté comme un motard sans son casque
    Planté comme Batman sans son masque
    Non je ne suis pas le seul à qui c'est arrivé
    Oh, tout le monde un jour s'est planté

    Planté comme Robinson sur son île
    Planté comme un cadre à Tchernobyl
    Planté sur un atoll pacifique
    Planté comme un savant atomique
    Non je ne suis pas le seul à qui c'est arrivé
    Oh, tout le monde un jour s'est planté

    Planté au standard du téléphone
    Planté sous la douche comme on sonne
    Planté comme un mône dans la rue
    Planté devant une belle fille toute nue
    Non je ne suis pas le seul à qui c'est arrivé
    Oh, tout le monde un jour s'est planté

    Planté comme un soldat sans capote
    Planté dans un bar sans un pote
    Comme elle en train de souffler dans le ballon
    Avec comme un archer au violon
    Non je ne suis pas le seul à qui c'est arrivé
    Tout le monde un jour s'est planté

    Planté par un banquier sans pitié
    Raide fauché comme un champ de blé
    Planté comme une star sans oscar
    Planté comme un rocker sans guitare
    Non je ne suis pas le seul à qui c'est arrivé
    Oh, tout le monde un jour s'est planté

    Carnation Composer(s): Paul Weller First release by: The Jam - 1982



    If you gave me a fresh carnation
    I would only crush it's tender petals
    With me you'll have no escape
    And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle

    I trample down all life in my wake
    I eat it up and take the cake
    I just avert my eyes to the pain
    Of someone's loss helping my gain

    If you gave me a dream for my pocket
    You'd be plugging in the wrong socket
    With me there's no room for the future
    With me there's no room with a view at all

    I am out of season all year round
    Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
    Touch my heart and feel winter
    Hold my hand and be doomed forever

    If you gave me a fresh carnation
    I would only crush it's tender petals
    With me you'll have no escape
    And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle

    And if you're wondering by now who I am
    Look no further than the mirror
    Because I am the greed and fear
    And every ounce of hate in you
