The Needle And The Spoon Composer(s): Ronnie Van Zant - Allen Collins Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd; The Ramblers; Pickin' On
Thirty days, lord and thirty nights I'm comin' home on an airplane flight Mama waitin' at the ticket line Tell me son why do you stand there cryin'
It was the needle and the spoon And a trip to the moon Took me away, took me away
I've been feelin' so sick and tired Got to get better, lord before I die Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said You better quit, son before your dead
It was the needle and the spoon And a trip to the moon Took me away, took me away
Quit the needle Quit the spoon Quit the trip to the moon We gonna take you away Lord, we gonna take you away
It was the needle and the spoon
I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool But then again, lord I've seen a lot of fools Well, I hope you people, lord can hear what I say You'll have your chance to hit it some day
It was the needle and the spoon And a trip to the moon Took me away, took me away
Don't mess with the needle or a spoon Or any trip to the moon It'll take you away
Lord, their gonna bury you boy Don't mess with the needle Now I know, I know, I know...
Reginella Campagnola ((English Version: The Woodpecker Song (Glenn Miller)) Composer(s): Eldo Di Lazzaro Performer(s): Carlo Buti and multiple other artists
All' alba quando spunta il sole La nell' Abruzzo tutto d'or Le prosperose campagnole Discendono le valli infior
O campagnola bella tu sei la Reginella Negli occhi tuoi c'e il sole il colore Delle viole delle valli tutte in fior Se canti, la tua voce E' un armonia di pace Che si diffonde e dice "Se vuoi viver felice devi vivere quassu!
Quand' a la festa dal paesello Con la sua cesta se ne va Trotterellanlo l'asinello La porta verso la citta
Ma poi la sera al tramontare Con le sue amiche se ne va E tutte intenta a raccontare Quel che ha veduto la' in citta

I caught you knocking at my cellar door I love you, baby, can I have some more? Oh the damage done I hit the city and I lost my band I watched the needle take another man Gone, gone, the damage done

Mille violons chantent leur mélodie Un arc-en-ciel dans le ciel se déplie Mais il me semble être encore sous la pluie Si malheureuse quand il m'a dit
Tchao Tchao Bambina Dis-moi je t'aime Pour la dernière, dernière fois Bientôt petite Je vais te perdre J'ai de la peine Embrasse-moi Tchao Tchao Bambina Un jour on s'aime Et l'on se quitte L'amour c'est ça... Dans tes yeux tristes Tout le ciel pleure Et moi je pleure Pleure avec toi!

Ciao Amore, Ciao Composer(s): Luigi Tenco First release by: Luigi Tenco - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1967 - Cia Amore, Ciao (German Version) (Dalida) 1969 - Ciao Amore, Ciao (French Version) (Dalida)
La solita strada Bianca come il sale Il grano da crescere I campi da anane Guardare ogui giorno Se piove o c'è il sole Per saper se domani Si vive o si innore E un bel giorno dire basta e andare via
Andare via lontano Cercare un altro mondo Dire addio al cortile Andarsene sognando
E poi mille strade Grige come il fumo In un mondo di luci Sentirsi nessuno In un giorno solo Soltare cent'anni Dai carri dei campi Agli aerei del cielo E sentirsi soli e ner voglia di tornare da te
Ein tag voller sonne So hat es begonnen Die nacht war voll tränen Das glück ist zerronnen Ich wollte ja bleiben Ich lebe so gerne Doch der Zug fahrt weiter In die dunkle ferne Und ich will leben, leben, leben Schön ist die Liebe
Regardez Par Des Fenêtres
((Adapted from: Look Through Any Window (by The Hollies) - 1965))
Composer(s): Graham Goldman - Charles Silverman
Performer(s): The Hollies
Regardez par des fenêtres, yeah Qu'est-ce que vous voyez? Les visages des petits enfants Jolis visages souriants
(Où est-ce qu'ils vont?) Et sur leur chemin ils voyagent partout Ils font leur grand tour (Où est-ce qu'ils vont?)
Et sur leur chemin des gens qui vont partout Nous (espérons ?) beaucoup Oh, vous verrez des petits enfants et leur famille Oh, vous verrez des beaux garçons, des jolies filles
Si vous regardez par des fenêtres, yeah À n'importe quelle heure Les camions des routiers qui vont sur ..... tellement chargés (Où est-ce qu'ils vont?)
Et sur leur chemin Ils voyagent partout ... et n'importe où (Où est-ce qu'ils vont?)
Et sur leur chemin Ils voyagent beaucoup Et sur leur chemin des gens qui vont partout Nous les aimons beaucoup
Oh, vous verrez des petits enfants et leur famille Oh, vous verrez des beaux garçons des jolies filles Si vous
Regardez par les fenêtres, yeah Qu'est-ce que voyez? Les visages des petits enfants Jolis visages souriants
(Où est-ce qu'ils vont?) Et sur leur chemin Et sur leur chemin Et sur leur chemin
Naughty Lady Of Shady Lane Composer(s): Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett Performer(s): The Ames Brothers; Dean Martin; Alma Cogan
The naughty lady of Shady Lane Has hit the town like a bomb The back-fence gossip ain't been this good Since Mabel ran off with Tom Our town was peaceful and quiet Before she came on the scene The lady has started a riot Disturbin' the suburban routine
The naughty lady of Shady Lane has the town in a whirl The naughty lady of Shady Lane Me-oh, my-oh, what a girl
You should see how she carries on With her admirers galore She must be givin' them quite a thrill The way they flock to her door She throws those come-hither glances At every Tom, Dick, and Joe When offered some liquid refreshment The lady never never says "no"
The naughty lady of Shady Lane has the town in a whirl The naughty lady of Shady Lane Me-oh, my-oh, what a girl
The things they're trying to pin on her Won't hold much water, for sure Beneath the powder and fancy lace There beats a heart sweet and pure She just needs someone to change her And she'll be nice as can be If you're in the neighborhood, stranger You're welcome to drop in and see
The naughty lady of Shady Lane So delightful to hold The naughty lady of Shady Lane So delectable Quite respectable And she's only Nine Days Old!!!
Nous sommes deux ombres Et deux solitudes Un grand amour sombre Dans les habitudes Et l'on ose à peine Rompre le silence Mieux vaudrait la haine Que l'indifférence Mais je veux vivre vivre Je veux qu'on m'aime
Nous vivons dans du rose Dans du gris monotone J'ai besoin d'autre chose Que d'un chat qui ronronne
Je veux voir le monde Qu'il soit gai ou triste Qu'il chante ou qu'il gronde Pourvu qu'il existe Je veux voir des villes Qu'elles soient blanches ou rouges Et des yeux qui brillent Et des gens qui bougent Moi je veux vivre vivre Comme ceux qui s'aiment
The Narrow Way Composer(s): David Gilmour Performer(s): Pink Floyd
Following the path As it leads towards the Darkness in the North Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy They've seen that hope before And if you want to stay For a little bit Rest your aching limbs For a little bit Before you the night is beckoning And you know you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't touch the restless sky Close your aging eyes Be on your way
Mist is swelling Creatures crawling Hear the roar get louder in your ears You know the folly was your own But the force behind can't conquer all your fears And if you want to stay For a little bit Rest your aching limbs For a little bit Before you the night is beckoning And you know you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't touch the restless sky Close your aging eyes Be on your way
Throw your thoughts back many years To the time when there was life in every morning Perhaps a day will come When the nights will be as on that morning And if you want to stay For a little bit Rest your aching limbs For a little bit Before you the night is beckoning And you know you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't touch the restless sky Close your aging eyes Be on your way
Ciao
Composer(s): Lucio Dalla - Tullio Ferro
Performer(s): Lucio Dalla
Cè stato come un lampo lì proprio in mezzo al cielo che era blu cobalto liscio, liscio senza un pelo la città sotto era un presepio, le luci del tramonto la scia di un aereo, facevano più bello il mondo dello sforzo dei poeti, dei mezzi giornalisti puttane e kossovari, poi altri tipi misti contavano le stelle, le prime ad arrivare poi la voce di una vecchia che salutava tutti quanti dicendo ciao
Ciao E la colpa di non so di chi
Ciao E la colpa di non so di chi
Ciao
La spiaggia di Riccione, milioni di persone le pance sotto il sole, il gelato e lombrellone abbronzati un coglione, non lhai capito ancora che siamo stati sempre in guerra anche il 15 a Viserba in guerra con noi stessi, tra video e giornali e noi sempre più lessi a farci abbindolare con la nostra indifferenza, la passione per le cose che non possiamo stare senza anche le pericolose come ad esempio una canzone mentre la stai cantando di là qualcuno muore qualcun altro sta nascendo è il gioco della vita la dobbiamo preparare che non ci sfugga dalle dita come la sabbia in riva al mare
