Chercher Les Anges Composer(s): Jacques Veneruso Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
J'ai attendu le monde Mais le monde est grand En milliers de secondes J'ai subi le temps Comme une pierre usée Qui roule
J'ai attendu l'été Mais l'été m'oublie Mes mots se sont glacés Et je vois la pluie Comme un flot de larmes Qui coule
Chercher les anges - Plus loin Retrouver mes rêves - Perdus Sur mon chemin - Chercher
J'ai attendu le feu Entre toi et moi Mais la vie, la vie fait ce qu'elle veut La vie ne nous voit pas Et l'alcool du temps Nous saoule
Où s'en vont mes rêves C'est pour eux que je vis C'est pour eux que je crève Chercher les anges Chercher les anges Pour que je me relève Pour retrouver mes rêves Cherches les anges Plus loin Retrouver mes rêves perdus Sur mon chemin Chercher les anges
Rainy Night In Georgia Composer(s): Tony Joe White Performer(s): Brook Benton; and various other artists
Hoverin' by my suitcase
tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right" A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia It seems like it's rainin' all over the world I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
How many times I wondered It still comes out the same No matter how you look at it or think of it It's life and you just got to play the game
I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some time Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine (minor scat) But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia I feel it's rainin' all over the world, kinda lonely now And it's rainin' all over the world
Oh, have you ever been lonely, people? And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin' rainin', rainin', rainin'
Cest Ma Vie Composer(s): Paulius Zdanavicius - Andrius Kairys First performance by: Evelina Saenko - 2011
Gray here is the sorrow but just look straight for tomorrow when sun will shine in your face don't close your eyes. Those who went through desert passed never ending forever they know my dreams will come true as I sing to you C'est ma vie Je dis oui No more rain around, I know I have found Everlasting Love for life, love of mine, love that shines
Time will give the answers for all your great tribulations soon we'll be playing in the sun and feel like one
C'est ma vie Je dis oui No more rain around, i know i have found Everlasting Love for life, love of mine, love that shines
C'est ma vie Je dis oui No more rain around, I know I have found Everlasting Love for life, love of mine, love that shines
Keops Pyramid Composer(s): Mikael Wiehe Performer(s): Mikael Wiehe
"Jag är en av dem som slavar på kung Keops pyramid det är vi som jobbar nere invid foten och vi sliter och vi svettas för att inte tappa tid det är synd om dem som inte fyller kvoten
Har man en gång kommit hit, blir man aldrig mera fri om man slutar här, så slutar man i gropen men om kungen sägs att han är son av solen
Bakom femton dubbla reglar bakom femton dubbla lås håller rikedomen hov i maktens salar Här finns ingenting som hotar, här finns ingenting som står Här är tankarna och rummen lika svala
Och om någon måste dö eller några ska ha spö finns det andra som kan verkställa besluten hit hörs aldrig ångestropen eller tjuten
Det verkar som om det i varje tid och i alla sorters folk finns några som vill skapa pyramider Där dem själva sitter överst och har makten i sin hand medans dem som lever nedanför de lider
om dem där uppe i det blå inte längre vill förstå utan föraktar alla de som ger dem mat ska pyramiderna tillsist bli deras grav"
Rainy Days And Mondays Composer(s): Paul Williams; Roger Nichols Performer(s): The Carpenters; and various other artists
Talkin' to myself and feelin' old Sometimes I'd like to quit Nothing ever seems to fit Hangin' around Nothing to do but frown Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
What I've got they used to call the blues Nothin' is really wrong Feelin' like I don't belong Walkin' around Some kind of lonely clown Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you Nice to know somebody loves me Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do Run and find the one who loves me.
What I feel has come and gone before No need to talk it out We know what it's all about Hangin' around Nothing to do but frown Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down
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

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

Chelsea Monday
Composer(s): Derek William Dick - Mark Kelly - Mick Pointer - Steve Rothery - Pete Trewavas
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

e 'o core canta p''a felicitá!

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
