Chelsea Morning
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Dave Van Ronk and The Hudson Dusters - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I heard Was a song outside my window, and the traffic wrote the words It came a-reeling up like Christmas bells, and rapping up like pipes and drums
Oh, won't you stay We'll put on the day And we'll wear it 'till the night comes
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I saw Was the sun through yellow curtains, and a rainbow on the wall Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson crystal beads to beckon
Oh, won't you stay We'll put on the day There's a sun show every second
Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today And the streets are paved with passersby And pigeons fly And papers lie Waiting to blow away
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knew There was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges, too And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses Oh, won't you stay We'll put on the day And we'll talk in present tenses
When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away I will bring you incense owls by night By candlelight By jewel-light If only you will stay Pretty baby, won't you Wake up, it's a Chelsea morning

Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone But I would not feel so all alone Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door But I would not feel so all alone Everybody must get stoned
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table They'll stone ya when you are young and able They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck" Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again They'll stone you when you're riding in your car They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar Yes, but I would not feel so all alone Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone They'll stone you when you are walking home They'll stone you and then say you are brave They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave But I would not feel so all alone Everybody must get stoned

Nem számít merre, csak el toled el
Mit mondhatnál, mit mondhatnék, elkoptunk rég
Szemeinkbol nézd, hova tunt a fény...

Chelsea Monday

Performer(s): Marillion
Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress Hiding in her cellophane world in glitter town Awaiting the prince in his white capri Dynamic young tarzan courts the bedsit queen
She's playing the actress in this bedroom scene She's learning her lines from glossy magazines Stringing all her pearls from her childhood dreams Auditioning for the leading role on the silver screen
Patience my tinsel angel, patience my perfumed child One day they really love you, you'll charm them with that smile But for now it's just another chelsea monday Chelsea monday
Tju In the city of dreamers... Drifting with her incense in the labyrinth of london Playing games with faces in the neon wonderland Perform to scattered shadows on the shattered cobbled aisles Would she dare recite soliloquies at the risk of stark applause To chelsea monday
She'll pray for endless sundays as she enters saffron sunsets Conjure phantom lovers from the tattered shreds of dawn Fulfilled and yet forgotten the st. tropez mirage Fragrant aphrodisiac, the withered tuberose Of chelsea monday Sweet chelsea monday
Patience my tinsel angel, patience my perfumed child One day they really love you, you'll charm them with that smile But for now it's just another chelsea monday Sweet chelsea monday
Voice: hello john, did you see the standard about four hours ago? Fished a young chick out of the old father Blond hair, blue eyes She said she wanted to be an actress or something Nobody knows where she came from, where she was going Funny thing was she had a smile on her face She was smiling What a waste!
Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress Buried in her cellophane world in glitter town Of chelsea monday Chelsea monday She was only dreaming
Rainy Day People Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot; Albert Au; Laurie Bower; Larry Rice; Mac Wiseman
Rainy day people
always seem to know when it's time to call Rainy day people don't talk they just listen till they've heard it all Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you they've been down like you Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two
If you get lonely, all you really need is that rainy day love Rainy day people all know there's no sorrow they can't rise above Rainy day lovers don't love any others that would not be kind Rainy day people all know how it hangs on their peace of mind
Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you they've been down there, too Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two
Rainy day people always seem to know when you're feelin' blue I steps and stutters around in the gutters sometimes need one, too Take it or leave it or try to believe it If you've been down too long Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside, they just pass it on
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside, they just pass it on

St'ammore mme teneva 'ncatenato

Raining On The Rock Composer(s): John Williamson Performer(s): Rolf Harris; John Williamson
Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold We've just come out of the Mulga
where the plains forever roll And Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes And a shower has changed the lustre of our land
And it's raining on the Rock In a beautiful country And I'm proud to travel this big land As an Aborigine And it's raining on the Rock What an almighty sight to see And I'm wishing and I'm dreaming that you were here with me
Everlasting daisies and a beautiful desert rose Where does their beauty come from heaven knows I could ask the wedge-tail but he's away too high I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to fly
It cannot be described with a picture The mesmerising colours of the Olgas Or the grandeur of the Rock Uluru has power!
And it's raining on the Rock In a beautiful country And I'm proud to travel this big land As an Aborigine And it's raining on the Rock What an almighty sight to see And I'm wishing and I'm dreaming that you were here with me
Stand By Composer(s): Radiosa Romani First performance by: Senit - 2011
Oh, the sea
Waves of eternity, waves of serenity As I stare through them all around me just dies Tonight I will pretend there's no more time? Let's lock our doors and leave this endless world outside
But if you don't mind, I will be here Holding back those years that pass us by And in a natural high, you hold my hand, we'll take a breath So tonight, if you don't mind, I will stand by
Oh, this life, something so beautiful but hard in the same time Taught me could be gone in a blink of an eye Tonight can we pretend there's no more time? Let's lock our doors and leave this endless world outside
If you don't mind, I will be here Holding back those years that pass us by
And in a natural high, you hold my hand, we'll take a breath So tonight, if you don't mind, I will stand by (I will be here) Holding back, holding back (Years that pass us by) And in a natural high you'll hold my hand, we'll take a breath
Cheeseburger In Paradise
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
and multiple other artists
Tried to amend my carnivorous habits Made it nearly seventy days Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams Some kind of sensuous treat Not zucchini, fettucini or bulgar wheat But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat
Cheeseburger in paradise Heaven on earth with an onion slice Not too particular, not too precise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
Heard about the old time sailor men They eat the same thing again and again Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn But times have changed for sailors these days When I'm in port I get what I need Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris But that American creation on which I feed
Cheeseburger in paradise Medium rare with mustard be nice Heaven on earth with an onion slice I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
I like mine with lettuce and tomato Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer Well good God almighty which way do I steer for my
Cheeseburger in paradise Makin' the best of every virtue and vice Worth every damn bit of sacrifice to get a Cheeseburger in paradise
I need a cheeseburger in paradise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

Peter is smart, he knows each European country by heart He likes to sit under an apple tree on his yard And wait for an apple to fall When Peter is nine, his teacher tells him that this planet is dying That someone needs to put an end to it all And so when Peter comes home, he tells his mom
I'm going out in the world to save our planet And I ain't coming back until she's saved I'll walk my way to see the king and parliament If they don't help, I'll do it by myself I don't wanna be... Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...
Peter is young, he tries to talk, but no one listens to him Everybody's busy living and dying, not thinking about what they're doing But look at the boy who went out in the world to save our planet And he ain't coming back until she's saved He walked his way to see the king and parliament But they all turned their heads and walked away, singing
And now I'm going out in the world to save our planet And I ain't coming back until she's saved I'm walking in the footsteps that young Peter made And everybody is welcome to join, and sing with me
