It's Raining Today
Composer(s): Scott Walker
First release by: Scott Walker - 1969
Covered by: Susanna & The Magical Orch. - 2006



It's raining today 
and I'm just about to forget the train window girl 
That wonderful day we met 
She smiles through the smoke from my cigarette 
It's raining today 
But once there was summer and you 
And dark little rooms 
And sleep in late afternoons 
Those moments descend on my windowpane 

I've hung around here too long 
Listenin' to the old landlady's hard-luck stories 
You out of me me out of you 
We go like lovers 
To replace the empty space 
Repeat our dreams to someone new 

It's raining today 
And I watch the cellophane streets 
No hang-ups for me 
'Cause hang-ups need company 
The street corner girl's a cold trembling leaf 
It's raining today 
It's raining today

Said the night wind to the little lamb 
Do you see what I see? 
'Way up in the sky, little lamb 
Do you see what I see? 

A star, a star 
Dancing in the night 
With a tail as big as a kite 
With a tail as big as a kite 

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy 
Do you hear what I hear? 
Ringing thru the sky, shepherd boy 
Do you hear what I hear? 

A song, a song 
High above the tree 
With a voice as big as the sea 
With a voice as big as the sea 

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king 
Do you know what I know? 
In your palace warm, mighty king 
Do you know what I know? 

A Child, a Child 
Shivers in the cold 
Let us bring Him silver and gold 
Let us bring Him silver and gold 

Said the king to the people ev'rywhere 
Listen to what I say! 
Pray for peace, people ev'rywhere 
Listen to what I say! 

The Child, the Child 
Sleeping in the night 
He will bring us goodness and light 
He will bring us goodness and light

Do They Know It's Christmas?
Composer(s): Bob Geldof - Midge Ure
Performer(s): Band Aid
and multiple other artists



It's Christmastime; there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
But say a prayer to pray for the other ones
At Christmastime

It's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you, raise a glass for ev'ryone
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

Hi - Hi! We're your Weather Girls - Ah-huh -
And have we got news for you - You better listen!
Get ready, all you lonely girls
and leave those umbrellas at home - Alright! 

Humidity is rising - Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men

It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Every Specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Ame---------nnnn!

I feel stormy weather / Moving in about to begin
Hear the thunder / Don't you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed

God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's Raining Men! Yeah!

Humidity is rising - Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go

It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men!

Ding-A-Ling The Christmas Bell
Performer(s): Lynn Anderson; Conway Twitty



Gather round and I will tell
The story of the Christmas bell
Who used to shine and shine and ring
And why they called him Ding-A-Ling

One of the famous jingle bells
Is what he was but then he fell
And broke his pretty harmony
And he began to ring off key

Now they call him Ding-A-Ling
Because he has a funny ring
And doesn't hit his note too well
Ding-A-Ling the Christmas bell

The other bells met secretly
And he heard one say in a real low key
He's sure to ruin our Christmas sound
And we don't want him hanging around

He overheard their secret vote
And walked away with a lump in his note
The saddest bell you've ever seen
The Christmas bell called Ding-A-Ling

They all call him Ding-A-Ling
Because he has a funny ring
And doesn't hit his note too well
Ding-A-Ling the Christmas bell

The snow was falling in the square
When the children found him there
And placed him on the Christmas tree
For everyone in town to see

As Christmas Eve came to the town
A blinding snow was coming down
And Ding-A-Ling heard someone say
Old Santa's sure to lose his way

The thought occurred to Ding-A-Ling
To ring as loud as he could ring
And when old Santa heard the sound
It guided him into the town

Now the children shout and sing
And everyone loves Ding-A-Ling
So everything has turned out well
For Ding-A-Ling the Christmas bell

It's rainin'
Been rainin' for a long, long time
I don't know when the sun is gonna shine
I'm stranded till the hurricane's through
But at least I know I'm stranded with you
The water is risin' in the town
Last report said more rain's comin' down

It's rainin'
The road is not no place to go
Too bad there ain't no late night show
Stranded till the hurricane's through
But at least I know I'm stranded with you
(Listen to the rain)

It's rainin'
Been rainin' for a long, long time
I don't know when the sun is gonna shine
I'm stranded till the hurricane's through
But at least I know I'm stranded with you
Stranded till the hurricane's through
But at least I know I'm stranded with you

Drip drop
Drip drop
Drip drop
Drip drop 

It's raining so hard
Looks like it's gonna rain all night
And this is the time
I'd love to be holding you tight
But I guess I'll have to accept
The fact that you're not here
I wish the rain would hurry up
And end, my dear 

It's raining so hard
It's really coming down
Sittin' by my window
Watching the rain fall to the ground
This is the time
I'd love to be holding you tight
But I guess I'll just go crazy tonight 

It's raining so hard
It brings back memories
Of the time
That you were here with me
Counting every drop
About to lose my top
I wish the rain would hurry up and stop 

I've got the blues so bad
I can hardly catch my breath
The harder it rains
The worse it gets
This is the time
I'd love to be holding you tight
But I guess I'll just go crazy tonight 

Drip drop 
Drip drop
Drip drop ...

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers
May you beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers

Ding dong merrily on high
In heav'n the bells are ringing
Ding dong verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

and multiple other artists



If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
And you hug yourself on the cold, cold ground
You wake the morning in a stranger's coat
No one would you see
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me
My only friend, who could it be
It's hard to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me

When you belly's empty and the hunger's so real
And you're too proud to beg and too dumb to steal
You search the city for your only friend
No one would you see
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me
A solitary voice to speak out and set me free
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me

You're not the easiest person I ever got to know
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
Some would say I should let you go your way
You'll only make me cry
But if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me

When the world's gone crazy and it makes no sense
There's only one voice that comes to your defence
The jury's out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see
And if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me

Your baby doesn't love you anymore

Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you anymore

Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you anymore, it's over

It breaks your heart in two
To know she's been untrue
But, oh, what will you do?
When she says to you "There`s someone new"
"We're throu-oo-ough, we're through?"

It's over, it's over, it's over

All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore

Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you "That's all, that's all"
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all

It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over

They say that you're a run-around lover 
Though you say it isn't so 
But if you put me down for another I'll know, believe me, I'll know 

'Cause the night has a thousand eyes 
And a thousand eyes can't help but see if you are true to me 
So remember when you tell those little white lies 
That the night has a thousand eyes 

You say that you're at home when you phone me 
And how much you really care 
Though you keep telling me that you're lonely 
I'll know if someone is there 

'Cause the night has a thousand eyes 
And a thousand eyes can't help but see if you are true to me 
So remember when you tell those little white lies 
That the night has a thousand eyes 

One of these days you're gonna be sorry 
'Cause your game I'm gonna play 
And you'll find out without really trying 
Each time that my kisses stray 

'Cause the night has a thousand eyes 
And a thousand eyes will see me too 
And no matter what I do 
I could never disguise all my little white lies 
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes 

So remember when you tell those little white lies 
That the night has a thousand eyes

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share
Would always be
There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
And make us realize our night is over

When you walk away from me
There is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes against the sun
That rises over the land
I watch you walk away
Somehow I have to let you go
Now it's over

If you knew just how I really feel
You might return and yet
There are so many times
That people have to love and then forget
Oh there might have been a way
I have to force myself to say
It's over

So I turn my back
Turn my collar to the wind
Move along in silence
Trying not to think at all
I send my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
It's over

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share
Would always be
There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
And make us realize our night is over
It's over

Det Kimer Nu Til Julefest
Composer(s): Nikolai Frederick Severin Grundtvig - Carl C.N. Balle
Performer(s): Stig Rossen; Anne-Charlotte Harvey



Det kimer nu til julefest
det kimer for den høje gæst
som steg til lave hytter ned
med nytårsgaver: fryd og fred

O, kommer med til Davids by
hvor engle sjunger under sky
o, ganger med på marken ud
hvor hyrder hører nyt fra Gud!

Og lad os gå med stille sind
som hyrderne til barnet ind
med glædestårer takke Gud
for miskundhed og nådesbud!

O Jesus, verden vid og lang
til vugge var dig dog for trang
for ringe, om med guld tilredt
og perlestukken, silkebredt

Men verdens ære, magt og guld
for dig er ikkun støv og muld
i krybben lagt, i klude svøbt
et himmelsk liv du har mig købt

Velan, min sjæl, så vær nu glad
og hold din jul i Davids stad
ja, pris din Gud i allen stund
med liflig sang af hjertens grund!

Ja, sjunge hver, som sjunge kan
Nu tændes lys i skyggers land
og ret som midnatshanen gol
blev Jakobs stjerne til en sol!

Nu kom han, patriarkers håb
med flammeord og himmeldåb
og barnet tyder nu i vang
hvad David dunkelt så og sang

Kom, Jesus, vær min hyttegæst
hold selv i os din julefest
da skal med Davidsharpens klang
dig takke højt vor nytårssang!

If I could stick a pen in my heart
I would spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? 
Ain't he strange? 

If I could win ya, if I could sing ya a love song so divine 
Would it be enough for your cheating heart 
If I broke down and cried? 
If I cried? 

I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it 
I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes I do 
Oh, well, I like it, I like it 
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely 

If I could stick a knife in my heart, suicide right on stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain? 
Ease your brain? 

If I could dig down deep in my heart feelings would flood the page 
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy's insane? 
He's insane

I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it 
I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes I do 
Oh, well, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely 

And do ya think that you're the only girl around? 
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town

I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it 
I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes I do 
Oh, well, I like it, I like it

People see us everywhere
They think you really care

You can’t laugh, you can’t cry
Your actin’ kinda funny and you don’t know why
'Cause your heart keeps beatin’ like a big bass drum
And the beat's gettin’ strong and it’s so much fun
And you keep on singin’ but the words are wrong
And you can’t stop laughin’, baby what’s goin’ on

It’s only love, tryin’ to get through
It’s only love, tryin’ to get through
It’s only love, tryin’ to get through

You can’t run, you can’t hide
No matter what you do you're on a ten cent ride
Goin’ up, down baby and it’s so much fun
And your heart keeps beatin’ like a big bass drum
And the beat's gettin’ strong and it just won’t quit
Better hold on baby,  'cause you know that

It’s only love, tryin’ to get through
It’s only love, tryin’ to get through
It’s only love, tryin’ to get through
