    The Emperor Waltz
    Composer(s): Johann Strauss II - Johnny Burke
    Performer(s): Bing Crosby
    and multiple other artists



    Life is a dream, yet it's so real
    Hard to explain, just how you feel
    Deep in your heart, joy seems to dwell
    Like poets say, it's perfectly swell

    In every step, of this old dance
    There is delight, love and romance
    If you are the one, give me the few
    And I am sure there's no one like you

    You are all I dream
    You are a part of my heart and esteem
    And since I've met you
    Now I know that dreams do come true

    Love is a dream, yet it's so real
    Hard to explain, just how you feel
    Deep in your heart, joy seems to dwell
    Like poets say, it's perfectly swell

    Casanova
    Composer(s): Bryan Ferry
    First release by: Roxy Music - 1974



    You - the hero
    So many times
    You´ve loved
    And didn´t linger
    Now my finger
    Points at you
    - Another loser
    You - an island
    On your own
    Complete
    In every detail
    Monumental
    A precious jewel
    Or just a fool
    Innovator
    It´s in your mind
    And blood
    I watch it simmer
    I see you´re courting
    More despair
    No hope?
    Not a glimmer
    Now you´re nothing
    But second hand
    In glove
    With second rate now
    Now you´re flirting
    With heroin
    - Or is it cocaine?
    Casanova -
    Is that your name
    Or do you live there?
    I know my place
    Is here with you
    Tonight
    But not together

    Meeting in a jungle of a hundred burning suns
    We couldn't hide, we couldn't run
    Inner city art mirages, you never know who to trust
    This isn't fantasy, this is us

    Oh Casablanca, you were my island
    Lost in the middle of an ocean of sand
    We were actors in their dreams, ain't it true, baby
    Oh Casablanca, you were my island
    Lost in the middle of an ocean of sand

    We had everybody's eyes upon us
    We're the fundamental things of life
    We're the strangers as time goes by

    Sound stage 7, you'd pretend you're not there
    Cameras are rolling, make believe you don't care
    We were actors in their dreams, ain't it true, baby

    Oh Casablanca, you were my island
    Lost in the middle of an ocean of sand
    Oh Casablanca, you'll never change
    Oh Casablanca, you'll never change

    Well the clouds go by in the big blue sky
    As the sun beats down on Casa Dega
    And the moon pulls the tide and the tide brings night
    But night is more than just a night in Casa Dega

    Oh baby now I think I'm starting to believe the things that I've heard
    'Cause tonight in Casa Dega I hang on every word

    That she said to me as she holds my hand
    And reads the lines of a stranger
    Yeah and she knows my name yeah she knows my plan
    In the past in the present and for the future

    Oh honey now I think I'm starting to believe the things that I've heard
    'Cause tonight in Casa Dega I hang on every word

    That she said...

    Baby fools pay the price of a whisper in the night in Casa Dega
    Time rolls by, night is only night, can I save you?

    Flower power stays on your mind
    Flower power makes you be kind
    All the time, you love your neighbour to keep with the trend
    (love, love, love)
    Flower power will grow and grow
    Flower power, let the people know
    There's peace on earth we'll love until the end

    Let's spread the news
    Of the hippy's views
    The bell has rung and war must cease
    As the rose will grow and the weed must die
    And long life makes us beautiful

    I am the eagle, I live in high country
    In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky

    I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers
    But time is still turning they soon will be dry
    And all those who see me and all who believe in me
    Share in the freedom I feel when I fly

    Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops
    Sail over the canyons and up to the stars
    And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
    And all that we "can" be, not what we are

    Casa de joão-de-barro, a concha cor de Rosa
    Não tem portão
    João mandou fazer pra Rosa
    Forro de alcatrão
    Ninguém jamias entrou na casa
    Que é de João

    Roda Rosa pela casa
    Coisa de João
    João foi quem ensinou a Rosa
    Rolar no chão
    João cheirando aquela Rosa
    Goza de antemão
    E Rosa, amando aquela casa

    Bird in the tree and bumble bee
    Want freedom in autumn or summertime
    Ever since that day
    When the world was an onion
    "Twas natch'ral for the spirit
    To soar and play
    The way the Lawd'a-wanted it
    Free as the sun is free
    That's how it's gotta be
    What ever is right
    For bumble bee and river and eagle
    Is right for me
    We gotta be free

    Casa Bianca ((French Version: La Petite Maison Bleue (Dalida)) Composer(s): Don Backy - Detto Mariano Performer(s): Don Backy and multiple other artists



    C'e' una casa bianca che
    che mai più io scorderò
    mi rimane dentro il cuore
    con la mia gioventù

    Era tanto tempo fa
    ero bimba e di dolore
    io piangevo nel mio cuore
    non volevo entrare là

    Tutti i bimbi come me
    hanno qualche cosa che
    di terror li fa tremare
    e non sanno che cos'è

    Quella casa bianca che
    non vorrebbero lasciare
    e' la loro gioventù
    che mai più ritornerà

    Tutti i bimbi come me
    hanno qualche cosa che
    di terror li fa tremare
    e non sanno che cos'è

    E' la bianca casa che
    che mai più io scorderò
    mi rimane dentro il cuore
    con la mia gioventù

    E mai più ritornerà
    Ritornerà

    Flower Lady
    Composer(s): Phil Ochs
    Performer(s): Phil Ochs;
    and various other artists



    Millionaires and paupers walk the hungry streets
    Rich and poor companions of the restless beat
    Strangers in a foreign land
    Strike a match with trembling hand
    Learn too much to ever understand
    But nobody’s buying flowers from the flower lady

    Lover’s quarrel, snarl away their happiness
    Kissed crumble in a web of lonliness
    It’s written by the poison pen
    Voices break before they bend
    The door is slammed
    It’s over, once again
    But nobody’s buying flowers from the flower lady

    Poets agonize, they cannot find the words
    And the stone stares at the sculptor asks are you absurd?
    The painter paints his brushes back
    Through the canvas runs a crack
    Portrait of the pain never answers back
    But nobody’s buying flowers from the flower lady

    Soldiers, disillusioned, come home from the war
    Sarcastic students tell them not to fight no more
    And they argue through the night
    Black is black and white is white
    Walk away both knowing they are right
    But nobody’s buying flowers from the flower lady

    Smoke dreams of escaping souls are drifting by
    Dull the pain of living as they slowly die
    Smiles change into a sneer
    Washed away by whiskey tears
    In the quicksand of their mind they disappear
    Still nobody’s buying flowers from the flower lady

    Feeble, aged, people almost to their knees
    Complain about the present using memories
    Never found their pot of gold
    Wrinkled hands pound weary holes
    Each line screams out you’re old, you’re old, you’re old
    But nobody’s buying flowers from the flower lady

    And the flower lady hobbles home without a sale
    Tattered shreds of petals leave a fading trail
    Not a pause to hold a rose
    Even she no longer knows
    The lamp goes out the evening now is closed
    And nobody’s buying flowers from the flower lady

    The Dying Mine Brakeman (aka The True And Trembling Brakeman)
    Performer(s): Orville J. Jenks



    Listen now while I tell you
    Of a story you do not know
    Of a true and trembling brakeman
    And to heaven he did go
    Do you see that train-a-coming
    Oh, it's (?through) old Ninety-nine
    Oh, she's puffing and a-blowing
    For you know she is behind
    See that true and trembling brakeman
    As he signals to the cab
    There is but one chance for him
    And that is to grab
    See that true and trembling brakeman
    As the cars go rushing by
    If he miss that yellow freight car
    He is almost sure to die
    See that true and trembling brakeman
    As he falls beneath the train
    He had not one moment's warning
    Before he fell beneath the train

    See the brave young engineerman
    At the age of twenty-one
    Stepping down from upon his engine
    Crying, "Now what have I done!"
    "Is it true I killed a brakeman
    Is it true that he is dying?
    Lord, you know I tried to save him
    But I could not stop in time"
    See the car wheels rolling o'er him
    O'er his mangled body 'n' head
    See his sister bending o'er him
    Crying, "Brother, are you dead?"
    Sighing, "Sister, yes, I'm dying
    Going to a better shore
    Oh, my body's on a pathway
    I can never see no more
    "Sister, when you see my brother
    These few words to him I send
    Tell him never to venture braking
    If he does, his life will end"
    These few words were sadly spoken
    Folding his arms across his breast
    And his heart now ceased beating
    And his eyes were closed in death
