There's No Place Like London Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul - Gerard Kenny First release by: Shirley Bassey - 1986
There's no place like London There's no place at all The east or the West End You end up in the best end There's no place like London And I've been around There's no place like London town
When you walk down the street Feel the history under your feet From the top of St. Paul's To the old market stores All in all it's my cup of tea
There's no place like London There's no place at all The East or the West End You end up in the best end There's no place like London And I've been around There's no place like London town
See them changing the guard When it's raining as hard as can be I don't care who you are You don't have to go far To get treated like royalty
There's no place like London There's no place at all The East or the West End You end up in the best end There's no place like London And I've been around There's no place like London town
Take Paris in the spring Take New York in the fall But I'd leave them behind For the best of them all
There's no place like London There's no place at all The East or the West End You end up in the best end
There's no place like London And I've been around There's no place like London London's capital There's no place like London town
Cosa Vuol Dire Una Lacrima Composer(s): Lucio Dalla Performer(s): Lucio Dalla
Cosa c'è dietro una lacrima sarà un colpo di vento chissà è lì nei suoi occhi che luccica viene giù mentre parla con lui stiamo bene io e te non ci lasceremo mai da lontano si vede già il tram lui le chiede che cos'ha e domani cosa fa lei si volta e siam tutti sul tram Cosa vuol dire una lacrima che continua a cadere anche sul tram in mezzo alla gente antipatica tutti tristi con le facce da bar ma perché non parli più non ci lasceremo mai lei lo guarda e si sposta più in là occhi neri di Gesù sono il re della città su di un tram che nel traffico non va E' passato tanto tempo ormai che se ci penso mi spavento stesse strade, piazze, stessi bar noi più soli dentro Cosa vuol dire una lacrima e perché non è uguale anche per me per me che ogni giorno ho una maschera soprattutto quando parlo con te io che non ho pianto mai perché non ho amato mai che quando penso, penso sempre a te a te che non ho detto mai che tutto quello che mi dai e che adesso ho bisogno di te
Russians Composer(s): Sergei Prokofiev; Sting Performer(s): Sting; and various other artists
In Europe and America
there's a growing feeling of hysteria Conditioned to respond to all the threats In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you I don't subscribe to this point of view It would be such an ignorant thing to do If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy There is no monopoly in common sense On either side of the political fence We share the same biology Regardless of ideology Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent To put the words in the mouth of the President There's no such thing as a winnable war It's a lie that we don't believe anymore Mr. Reagan says we will protect you I don't subscribe to this point of view Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology Regardless of ideology What might save us, me, and you Is if the Russians love their children too
Cosa Sono Le Nuvole
Composer(s): Domenico Modugno - P.P. Pasolini
Performer(s): Domenico Modugno; Stefano Battaglia
Che io possa esser dannato se non ti amo e se così non fosse non capirei più niente tutto il mio folle amore lo soffia il cielo lo soffia il cielo così
ahh ma l'erba soavemente delicata di un profumo che da gli spasimi ahh tu non fossi mai nata tutto il mio folle amore lo soffia il cielo lo soffia il cielo così
il derubato che sorride ruba qualcosa al ladro ma il derubato che piange ruba qualcosa a se stesso perciò io vi dico finché sorriderò tu non sarai perduta
ma queste son parole e non ho mai sentito che un cuore, un cuore affranto si cura l'unico e tutto il mio folle amore lo soffia il cielo lo soffia il cielo così
Russian Rose Composer(s): Charles; Miller Performer(s): Joe Loss; Donald Peers; Monte Ray; Anne Shelton
Cant you hear me calling, while your tears are falling Where the river Volga flows Though your heart is filled with pain, my lovely Russian Rose?
Now the skies are overcast but well find peace at last To live in sweet repose Then your tears wont be in vain, my lovely Russian Rose
Soon the day will come when you and I Will both be free to live, to live and laugh and love forever I will come and find you, break the chains that bind you When the buds peep through the snow You will surely bloom again, my lovely Russian Rose
There's No One With Endurance (Like The Man Who Sells Insurance)
There's No One With Endurance (Like The Man Who Sells Insurance) Composer(s): Frank Crumit - Burt Curtis Performer(s): Frank Crumit
I used to be as happy as a squirrel in a tree Till a man who sold insurance made a nervous wreck of me He followed me persistently and if I'm put away That bird who sold insurance made me what I am today
For there's no one with endurance Like the man who sells insurance He's everybody's best friend He will follow you and fret you But remember he will get you For he gets us all in the end
In spite of every way I tried to leave him in the lurch He chased me in the subway and he followed me to church I even spent a night in jail in my desire to hide But in the morning George Insurance was waiting just outside
For there's no one with endurance Like the man who sells insurance He's everybody's best friend He'll be sweeter than molasses But when he puts on his glasses He gets us all in the end
One day at Coney Island when I went in for a swim A man swam up beside me who was no-on else but him Said he to me "I'm glad to see you love the ocean wave But our 20-year endowment is the only way to save"
For there's no one with endurance Like the man who sells insurance He's everybody's best friend He's always bright and snappy And no wonder that he's happy For he gets us all in the end
One day I saw him coming so I quickly climbed a tree But George Insurance saw me too and climbed up after me Said he to me up in the tree: "I'm fond of nature too But our 20-year endowment is the policy for you"
For there's no one with endurance Like the man who sells insurance He's everybody's best friend And the harder that you make it Believe me he can take it For he gets us all in the end
Cosa Hai Messo Nel Caffè Composer(s): G. Bigazzi; Riccardo Del Turco Performer(s): Riccardo Del Turco
M'hai detto vieni su da me l'inverno è caldo su da me non senti il freddo che fa in questa nostra città Perchè non vieni su da me saremo soli io e te ti posso offrire un caffè in fondo che male c'è
Ma cosa hai messo nel caffè che ho bevuto su da te? C'è qualche cosa di diverso adesso in me se c'è un veleno morirò ma sarà dolce accanto a te perchè l'amore che non c'era adesso c'è
Non so neppure che giorno è ma tutti i giorni sarò da te è un'abitudine ormai che non so perdere, sai
Ma cosa hai messo nel caffè che ho bevuto su da te? C'è qualche cosa di diverso adesso in me se c'è un veleno morirò ma sarà dolce accanto a te perchè l'amore che non c'era adesso c'è
Stamani,amore,pensando a te il primo fiorem'ha detto che l'inverno ormai se ne va ma tu rimani con me
Ma cosa hai messo nel caffè che ho bevuto su da te? C'è qualche cosa di diverso adesso in me se c'è un veleno morirò ma sarà dolce accanto a te perchè l'amore che non c'era adesso c'è Se c'è un veleno morirò Se c'è un veleno morirò
Rush Hour Composer(s): Peter Rafelson; Jane Wiedlin Performer(s): Jane Wiedlin
Something's coming over me I'm so dizzy I can't see Can't make out the forest for the trees My heart is beating faster Now as the traffic's slowing down Suddenly I'm all alone with you
It's so good, baby When you're at the wheel I can't believe the way I feel It's such a rush just being with you
We're driving in the rush hour Ooh, you send me, you take me to the rush hour Ooh, you send me, you got me in the rush hour
Feel it getting hot in here Feel me getting close to you, Dear Slow motion, moving you, moving me Now your lips are touching mine And in your eyes that certain shine Honey, I know just where you're taking me
It's so good, baby When you're at the wheel I can't believe the way I feel It's such a rush just being with you
We're driving in the rush hour Ooh, you send me, you take me to the rush hour Ooh, you send me, you got me in the rush hour
Oh, it's so good, baby When you're at the wheel I can't believe the way I feel It's such a rush just being with you
We're driving in the rush hour Ooh, you send me, you take me to the rush hour Ooh, you send me, you got me in the rush hour
Ooh, you send me Ooh, you send me You got me in the rush hour Ooh, you send me We're driving in the rush hour Ooh, you send me You got me, you got me Ooh, you send me We're driving in the rush hour Ooh, you send me Ooh, you send me Ooh, you send me
There's No One Quite Like Grandma Composer(s): Gordon Lorenz Performer(s): St. Winifred's School Choir
Grandma, we love you Grandma, we do Though you may be far away We think of you
There's no one quite like Grandma And I know you will agree That she always is a friend to you And she's a friend to me There's no one quite like Grandma She's there in times of need Before it's bedtime, on her knee To us a book she'll read
Grandma, we love you Grandma, we do Though you may be far away We think of you
And one day when we're older We'll look back and say There's no one quite like Grandma She has helped us on our way
Grandma, we love you Grandma, we do Grandma, we love you Grandma, we do
There's no one quite like Grandma A love we always share At party time and Christmas too We know that she'll be there There's no one quite like Grandma She always has a smile She never hurries us along Just stays a little while
Grandma, we love you Grandma, we do Though you may be far away We think of you
And one day when we're older We'll look back and say There's no one quite like Grandma She has helped us on our way
Grandma, we love you Grandma, we do Grandma, we love you And we know you love us too
'Cos I Love That Rock 'N' Roll Performer(s): Cliff Richard
Where has all that rock'n'roll gone Oh won't somebody tell me where? 'cos it used to be when I was young That you could hear them playing it everywhere But now it seems they're all so hooked on fashion The music's taken second place Everyone it seems has one obsession To beat the others in the race And it just don't feel right to me No no it just don't feel right to me
'cos I love that rock'n'roll too much And I don't wanna see it ever waving goodbye Yeah I love that rock'n'roll too too much And I couldn't bear to see it go by Rock'n'roll you're too much to deny
Oh where has all that music gone There must be some mistake From something that was so much fun They were burning bridges in their wake O.k. everything has got to keep changing I know it has to be that way But isn't it too high a price we're paying We're losing most of yesterday And it just don't feel right to me

J'ai reçu ta cassette vidéo V.H.S. Ton film est maladroit mais l'idée m'intéresse Tu vis, tu parles Zoom sur tes yeux pâles Et tu me dis que la vie avec moi N'a plus beaucoup d'intérêt Tu dis qu'le tracking est en moi Qu'mon fasing reviens sans arrêt Programme pour l'amour Codé pour toujours Sans replay Ton visage est sur pause La couleur vire au mauve Photo surexposée Flou navrant démodé Un court-métrage De rupture, de naufrage Où tu me dis que la vie avec moi Scénario sans intérêt Tu dis qu'le tracking est en moi Qu'mon fasing revient sans arrêt Dialogue de sourd J'appuie sur "retour" Sans regret Un court-métrage De rupture, de naufrage Où tu me dis que la vie avec moi Et tu me dis que la vie avec moi N'a plus beaucoup d'intérêt Tu dis qu'le tracking est en moi Qu'mon fasing reviens sans arrêt Tu dis qu'le tracking est en moi Qu'mon fasing reviens sans arrêt
There's No Me Without You Composer(s): E. Bivins Performer(s): Manhattans
Baby, you are my life And without you I'm an empty shell
There's no house without a home And there's no man who wants to be alone There's no child without a dream And there's no song without a meaning
That's how I know There's no me without you There's no me without you
There's no life without a plan Every woman wants herself a good man There's a heartaches without tears And time just can't go by without the years
That's how I know There's no me without you There's no me without you
You know there's no stars without the night Huh, and there's no wrong without a right And there's no good without a bad And when one man is happy , the other man is sad
Oh... oh... that's how I know There's no me without you There's no me without you Oh... oh... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
That's how I know (That's how I know, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) There's no me without you (My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my) That's how I know (There's no house, there's no house without a home) That's how I know (And there's no man, no man who wants to be alone)
Cortar Hasta El Hueso Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Sentado en medio de un sucio bar con tiempo para reflexionar cansado de esperar hoy voy a cortar hasta el hueso y más...
Latas vacías pero dónde está el que nos guía que abra los Cabildos que invadan la ciudad los portadores sanos del amor, oh no
Tira, tira, tira hermano mío no lo dejes escapar Dale, dale un poco más de hilo para quien quiera remontar y así, con un golpe en la nuca a Dios, tal vez caer en pos de la belleza
Viniste a un mundo rojo y profundo descubrirás la sed el miedo y el refugio que da sólo la amistad
Sentado en medio de un sucio bar con tiempo para reflexionar cansado de esperar hoy voy a cortar hasta el hueso y más, y más...
Tira, tira, tira hermano mío no lo dejes escapar Dale, dale un poco más de hilo para quien quiera remontar y así, con un golpe en la nuca a Dios, tal vez caer en pos de la belleza
no lo dejes escapar... para quien quiera remontar y así, con un golpe en la nuca a Dios, tal vez caer en pos de la belleza
Runs In The Family Composer(s): Terre Roche Performer(s): The Roches
I can't get over what I saw And I can't change the law of averages I'm going down My uncle did it; my daddy did it I'm beginning to think that it runs in the family Oh no, runs in the family
One by one we left home We went so far out there Everybody got scared My uncle did it; my daddy did it I'm beginning to think that it runs in the family Oh no, runs in the family
All the boys could have gone to school All the girls were pretty enough to play the fool Something about the danger zone Wouldn't leave the bunch of us alone
I remember that night It was the one I picked a fight with you I'm holding the bag Just like my mama did Just like her mama did Now there's gonna be a new kid in the family Oh no, kid you're gonna run in the family Oh yeah, kid you're gonna run in the family

À quoi ça sert de chercher à comprendre Pourquoi on dit ce qu'on dit À quoi ça sert de chercher à comprendre Quand c'est fini c'est fini Quand le soleil se lèvera demain Je serai déjà loin très loin Il faut se quitter en chemin N'y pense plus tout est bien
À quoi ça sert de chercher la lumière Puisqu'il n'y a rien à voir A quoi ça sert de chercher la lumière Je veux rester dans le noir Tu peux toujours essayer de me dire Ce que tu n'as jamais su me dire Quand nous marchions main dans la main Mais n'y pense plus tout est bien
Moi j'ai choisi la route solitaire Pareille à celle du vent Moi j'ai choisi la route solitaire Qui va là-bas loin devant Mais je voudrais qu'on se quitte bons amis Tu aurais pu faire mieux ma foi tant pis Le temps qu'on a passé c'était pour rien Mais n'y pense plus tout est bien
À quoi ça sert de verser tant de larmes Ce sont des larmes perdues À quoi ça sert de verser tant de larmes Je ne t'entends déjà plus Sur mon chemin mon souvenir m'attend On m'avait dit de toi c'n'est qu'une enfant J'allais perdre mon âme dans tes mains Mais n'y pense plus tout est bien
Por el día en el peligro de olvidar por la noche me amenaza tu recuerdo extraño Corro el riesgo de negarme a ver el día o la noche -corro el riesgo de querer dejarme ciego-
Esto pasa diariamente aunque estoy acostumbrado a todo hace mucho tiempo demasiado tiempo
Por el día me entretengo en no pensar en ti por la noche me acorralan el temor, los años Corro el riesgo de empezar a imaginarme parques -corro el riesgo de querer dormir sin tener sueño-
Esto pasa diariamente aunque estoy acostumbrado a todo hace mucho tiempo demasiado tiempo
Por el día tengo miedo de no respirar por la noche tengo miedo de quedarme quieto Corro el riesgo de que un día se demore el alba -corro el riesgo de que el miedo se me duerma adentro-
Esto pasa diariamente aunque estoy acostumbrado a todo hace mucho tiempo demasiado tiempo
Running With The Night Composer(s): Lionel Richie; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): Lionel Richie; Ricardo Caliente; Gary Tesca Orch.
The heart of the city street was beating Light from the neons turned the dark to day We were too hot to think of sleeping We had to get out before the magic got away
(Chorus) We were running with the night Playing in the shadows Just you and I, 'til the morning light (We were running, running with the night)
You were looking so good girl, heads were turning You and me on the town ooh, we let it all hang out The fire was in us, we were burning We were gonna go all the way and we never had a doubt
(Chorus) We were running with the night Playing in the shadows Just you and I, 'til the morning light (We were running, running with the night)
We were so in love you and me On the boulevard wild and free Giving all we got, we laid it down Taking every shot, we took the town
(Chorus) We were running with the night Playing in the shadows Just you and I, girl it was so right, so right (We were running) Oh (running with the night)
Just you and I (we were running) We were running with the night Playing in the shadows Just you and I, girl it was so right (We were running) Girl so right (running with the night) So right ...

Ain't no use to sit and cry now darling Wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?
It's hard to keep from thinking bout last summer We used to be together everywhere Remember how we walked along the sidewalk We'd stop, I'd buy a ribbon for your hair
Ain't no use to sit and sigh now darling And there ain't no use to sit and cryin' now I can't help but wonder just a little Wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?
So now I walk alone along the sidewalk But somehow things are not the same there I see the places that we saw together The shop that sold the ribbons for your hair
Ain't no use to sit and sigh now darling And there ain't no use to sit and cryin' now I can't help but wonder just a little Wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?
Wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?...
Corrido De Pancho Villa (Tradicional) Performer(s): Victor Jara
Fui soldado de Francisco Villa de aquel hombre de fama inmortal que aunque estuvo sentado en la silla no envidiara la presidencial
Ahora vivo alla por la orilla recordando aquel tiempo inmortal ay, ay ahora vivo alla por la orilla recordando a Villa alla por Parral
Yo fui uno de aquellos dorados que con tiempo llego a ser mayor en la lucha quedamos lisiados defendiendo la patria y honor
Hoy recuerdo los tiempos pasados que peleamos con el invasor ay, ay hoy recuerdo los tiempos pasados de aquellos dorados que yo fui mayor
Mi caballo que tanto montaba en Jimenez la muerte alcanzo una bala que a mi me tocaba a su cuerpo se le atraveso
Al morir de dolor relinchaba por la patria la vida entrego ay, ay al morir de dolor relinchaba como le lloraba cuando se murio
Pancho Villa te llevo grabado en mi mente y en mi corazon y aunque a veces me vi derrotado por las fuerzas de Alvaro Obregon siempre anduve como fiel soldado hasta el fin de la revolucion ay, ay siempre anduve como fiel soldado que tanto ha luchado al pie del cañon
