Sing Another Song, Boys
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
Performer(s): Leonard Cohen



Ah his fingernails, I see they're broken
his ships they're all on fire
The moneylender's lovely little daughter
ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire
She spies him through the glasses
from the pawnshops of her wicked father
She hails him with a microphone
that some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her
She tempts him with a clarinet
she waves a Nazi dagger
She finds him lying in a heap
she wants to be his woman
He says, "Yes, I might go to sleep
but kindly leave, leave the future, leave it open"

He stands where it is steep
oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one
his hand upon his leather belt now
like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner
And she will learn to touch herself so well
as all the sails burn down like paper
And he has lit the chain of his famous cigarillo
Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon
at least not the one that we're after
it's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends
and it carries no survivors
But lets leave these lovers wondering
why they cannot have each other
and let's sing another song, boys
this one has grown old and bitter

People Will Say We're In Love
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Spike Jones;
and various other artists



Don't throw bouquets at me
Don't please my folks too much
Don't laugh at my jokes too much
People will say we're in love

Don't sigh and gaze at me
Your sighs are so like mine
And your eyes mustn't glow like mine
People will say we're in love

Don't start collecting things
Give me my rose and my glove

Well, sweetheart, they're suspecting things
People will say we're in love

Ce Soir Je T'attendais
Composer(s): J. Chaumelle - B. Kesslair
First performance by: Michèle Torr - 1966



Le vent peut bien secouer les branches
Sur la rue les volets sont clos
Sur une nappe blanche
Quelques roses se penchent
Sur un couvert dressé pour deux
La mélodie que tu préfères
Repose sur le bord du piano
Tout est prêt je l'espère
Je n'ai plus rien à faire
Que d'ouvrir car j'entends ton pas
Et te voilà mais ne prends pas l'air étonné

Car je savais et je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais
J'étais si sûre que tu viendrais
Oui je savais et je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais
J'avais raison de t'espérer

Nous nous sommes fait beaucoup de peine
On s'est quittés pour quelques mots
C'est de l'histoire ancienne
Je sais bien que tu m'aimes
C'est pourquoi je guettais ton pas
Et me voilà là devant toi
Tendant les bras

Car je savais et je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais
J'étais si sûre que tu viendrais
Oui je savais et je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais
J'avais raison de t'espérer

Oui je savais et je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais
Pour te garder à tout jamais
Oui je savais et je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais!

People Talkin'
Composer(s): Lucinda Williams
Performer(s): Lucinda Williams



People...trying to tear us apart
Trying to rip out my heart
People talkin'
People talkin'

Livin' is full of misery and pain
Somebody called you a dirty name
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

I love you more than this cruel world will ever know
I wanna be your girl forever
I don't wanna let you go
If I could change things
I would die and return
Another name and
Knowin' everything I've learned
People talkin'
People talkin'

All of my life
I have tried to get along
All I ever hear now
Is gossip and waggin' tongues

I have suffered and I've cried myself to sleep
I have wandered down these highways and dirty streets
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

People tryin' to tear us apart
Tryin' to rip out my heart
People talkin'
People talkin

Livin' is full of misery and pain
Somebody called you a dirty name
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

People talkin
People talkin'
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

People talkin'
People talkin'
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'
People talkin'
People talkin'

Sing An Ode To Love
Composer(s): Harris Chalkitis; Alec R. Costandinos; Lakis Vlavianos
Performer(s): Demis Roussos



See the children playing 
Hear the sounds of virgin minds 
Come hear what they're saying 
There's so much to find 

Count how many pages 
Hoped and dreamed with clovers found 
Reaped in different phrases 
One wish going round 

Friend come sit beside me 
fearing me not, for I am you 
Friend come walk beside me 
There's so much to do 

Sing the song so clearly 
Make the words rise above 
Mean each line sincerely 
Sing an ode to love 

Make your heart a shelter 
For someone who's lost his way 
Make the sun shine brighter 
With each word you say 

Sing the song so clearly 
Make the words rise above 
Mean each line sincerely 
Sing an ode to love 
Sing an ode to love 
Love 

People Make The World Go Round
Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed
Performer(s): The Stylistics



Trashmen didn't get my trash today
Oh, why? 
Because they want more pay
Buses on strike want a raise in fare
So they can help pollute the air

But that's what makes the world go 'round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they'll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go 'round

Wall Street losin' dough on ev'ry share
They're blaming it on longer hair
Big men smokin' in their easy chairs
On a fat cigar without a care

But that's what makes the world go 'round 
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they'll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go 'round

But that's what makes the world go 'round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they'll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go 'round

People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round

People make the world go 'round

Sing A Song Of Sunbeams
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Bob Cats; John Scott Trotter



Some search for solace in a sad and somber song
And delve into the depths of that dominion
While others thrive on things that terrify the throng
I guess it's just a matter of opinion

'Cause I say sing a song of sunbeams
Let the notes fall where they may
Sing a song of sunbeams
In a light fantastic way

Show the blues you're busy
That you just can't be annoyed
And they'll up and go, 'cause they know
They're null and void

People all are suckers for a grin
You give out, they're gonna give in
People always love a jolly gent
They might even make you president

Why don't you sing a song of sunbeams
Let the notes fall where they may
Sing a song of sunbeams
In a light fantastic way

Life is never perfect
But it isn't always wrong
So the only thing to do is sing
A sunbeam song

People Like You, People Like Me
Composer(s): Gerry Sheppard; John Springate
Performer(s): Glitter Band



Let's get together again
all you need is here to stay
Let's get together again
forget about your yesterdays
Let's get together again
all you need is here to stay

Let's get together again
forget about your yesterdays

It's been a very long long time since I last remember seeing you
I hope you'll write and say you're fine
did you ever sit and dream of a time when we could meet again 
it's very hard now you're not mine
The phone's right next to you and you know just what to do
Just pick it up and call my name

Let's get together again
all you need is here to stay

Tomorrow's just a step away till I come running back to you
I hope you'll stay here by my side; I thought I'd never see
My angel back here next to me 
Promise me that you won't hide
The phone's right next to you and you know just what to do

Let's get together again
all you need is here to stay

And you know there ain't much time 
I'm so alone please come home
I'm on my own let's get together again

All you need is here to stay

Stop, Mens Legen Er Go'
First performance by: Ulla Pia - 1966



Går en pige hjem fra sit første bal
Sker det, at hendes ven går blot lidt for vidt
Ja, det sker så tit, men hun svarer igen

Stop, ja, stop, ja, stop, mens legen er go'
For jeg kan fornemme, at du nok vil glemme
At jeg må hjem klokken to
Tænk, ja, tænk, ja, tænk om drømmene brast
For du ka' vel nok forstå
Tiden går helt i stå, når du holder så fast

Lad os bare vandre af sted uden mål eller med
Nyde stjernehimmelens ro, den er skabt for os to

Kom, ja, kom, ja, kom, måske si'r jeg top
Når tiden er inde til kærlighedspuslespil
Det bli'r uden et 'stop'

Lad os bare vandre af sted uden mål eller med
Nyde stjernehimmelens ro, den er skabt for os to

Kom, ja, kom, ja, kom, måske si'r jeg top
Når tiden er inde til kærlighedspuslespil
Det bli'r uden et 'stop'

People Have The Power
Composer(s): Patti Smith; Fred "Sonic" Smith
Performer(s): Patti Smith



I was dreaming in my dreaming
of an aspect bright and fair
and my sleeping it was broken
but my dream it lingered near
in the form of shining valleys
where the pure air recognized
and my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry
that the people / have the power
to redeem / the work of fools
upon the meek / the graces shower
it's decreed / the people rule

The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power

Vengeful aspects became suspect
and bending low as if to hear
and the armies ceased advancing
because the people had their ear
and the shepherds and the soldiers
lay beneath the stars
exchanging visions
and laying arms
to waste / in the dust
in the form of / shining valleys
where the pure air / recognized
and my senses / newly opened
I awakened / to the cry

Refrain

Where there were deserts
I saw fountains
like cream the waters rise
and we strolled there together
with none to laugh or criticize
and the leopard
and the lamb
lay together truly bound
I was hoping in my hoping
to recall what I had found
I was dreaming in my dreaming
god knows / a purer view
as I surrender to my sleeping
I commit my dream to you

Refrain

The power to dream / to rule
to wrestle the world from fools
it's decreed the people rule
it's decreed the people rule

Listen
I believe everything we dream
can come to pass through our union
we can turn the world around
we can turn the earth's revolution
we have the power
People have the power ...

Sing A Song Of Sixpence   
(Traditional)



Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie 
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing
Was that not a tasty dish
To set before a king?
The King was in his counting house
Counting out his money
The Queen was in the parlor
Eating bread and honey 
The Maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes
When down came a blackbird
And snapped off her nose!

People Got To Be Free  
Composer(s): Felix Cavaliere; Edward Brigati Jr.
Performer(s): The Rascals;
and various other artists



All the world over, so easy to see 
People everywhere just wanna be free 
Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be 
Deep in the valley, people got to be free 

You should see 
what a lovely, lovely world this'd be 
Everyone learned to live together, ah-hah-unh 
Seems to me 
such an itty bitty thing should be 
Why can't you and me learn to love one another? 

All the world over, so easy to see 
People everywhere just wanna be free 
I can't understand it, so simple to me 
People everywhere just got to be free 

If there's a man 
who is down and needs a helpin' hand 
All it takes is you to understand and to pull him through, ah-hah-unh 
Seems to me 
we got to solve it individually, ah-hah-unh 
And I'll do unto you what you do to me 

Shout it from the mountain on out to the sea 
No two ways about it, people have to be free 
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be 
Nat'ral situation for a man to be free 
Git right on board now 

Oh, what a feelin's just come over me 
Love can move a mountain, make a blind man see 
Everybody sing it now come on let's go see 
Deep in the valley now, we ought to be free 

See that train over there? 
That's the train of freedom 
It's about to 'rrive any minute, now 
You know it's been'a long, long overdue 
Look out 'cause it's a'comin' right on through

Die Zeiger Der Uhr
First performance by: Margot Eskens - 1966



Du liest noch manchmal die alten Briefe, die er dir schrieb
Worin dir jede Zeile sagte: "Ich hab dich lieb"
Du schliesst die Augen und träumst von ihm
Und vom verlornen Glück

Doch die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur
Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück

Du hast noch viele schöne Bilder aus jener Zeit
Um diese wunderbaren Jahre tut es dir leid
Du schliesst die Augen, träumst von ihm
Und vom verlornen Glück

Doch die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur
Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück

Du fühlst dich einsam und träumst von gestern
Doch du lebst heut
Einer wird kommen, der dich von deinen Träumen befreit
Du schliesst die Augen
Und dann beginnt für dich ein neues Glück

Denn die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur
Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück

Die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur
Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück

People Get Ready 
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Performer(s): The Impressions



People get ready, there's a train comin' 
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board 
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord 

People get ready, there's a train to Jordan 
Picking up passengers coast to coast 
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them 
There's hope for all among those loved the most 
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner whom would hurt all 
mankind 
Just to save his own 
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner 
For there is no hiding place against the kingdoms throne 

People get ready there's a train comin' 
You don't need no baggage, just get on board 
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' 
You don't need no ticket, just thank the lord

People Are Strange
Composer(s): John Densmore; Robbie Krieger;
Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors



People are strange when you're a stranger 
Faces look ugly when you're alone 
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted 
Streets are uneven when you're down 

When you're strange 
Faces come out of the rain 
When you're strange 
No one remembers your name 
When you're strange 
When you're strange 
When you're strange 

People are strange when you're a stranger 
Faces look ugly when you're alone 
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted 
Streets are uneven when you're down 

When you're strange 
Faces come out of the rain 
When you're strange 
No one remembers your name 
When you're strange 
When you're strange 
When you're strange 

When you're strange 
Faces come out of the rain 
When you're strange 
No one remembers your name 
When you're strange 
When you're strange 
When you're strange

Non À Jamais Sans Toi
First performance by: Yovanna - 1965



Non - par le temps perdu à n'avoir voulu que toi
Non - par le temps passé à ne plus penser qu'à toi
Va, tu vois, c'est demain déjà
Va, tu n'as rien compris
Va, tu vois, je ne pleure pas
Aujourd'hui je te dis

Non - par les grands chemins revenus de loin pour toi
Non - par les nuits d'été qui n'ont fait danser que toi
Va, jusqu'au bout de l'horizon
Aujourd'hui c'est non

Non - parce qu'un matin ne restera rien de toi
Non - il viendra le jour du prochain amour sans toi
Va, tu vois, c'est demain déjà
À jamais sans toi
Va, tu vois, c'est demain déjà
À jamais sans toi

People Are Funnier Than Anybody
Composer(s): Eddie Brandt; Finberg
Performer(s): Spike Jones



Everyone say to begin the beguine
but no-one she begins him, so I will tell you how 
First you lift your right leg, like this 
Then you lift your left leg, like this 
Then you lift both your legs together, like this
There must be an easier way to do this, I think

This is our philosophy
This is our philosophy
And we're sure, that you'll agree
People are funnier that anybody

Woman needs five dollars bad
Beauty facial must be had
Husband can't spare the money, of course
But he puts ten dollars on the nose of a horse

Wife can't see well enough to drive
Car through garage-doors twelve foot wide
But on husbands suit of grey
She can spot a blond hair from a block away

This is our philosophy
This is our philosophy
And we're sure, that you'll agree
People are funnier that anybody

Husband plays poker and enjoys
Sitting up all of night with the boys
But at home with his wife he'll fight
If he has to sit ten minutes with the baby at night

Wife runs faster than any gale
When she hears of a one-cent sale
"I'm saving you money" to her husband she'll blab
But to get to the sale she takes a taxi-cab

This is our philosophy
This is our philosophy
And we're sure, that you'll agree
People are funnier that anybody

Man gets married, says it's one good deal
He waited years for a homecooked meal
When wife has nice hot dinner on plate
He comes home from the poolroom two hours late

When single man kiss his girl goodnight
He gets filled with thrilled delight
But when husband kiss his wife, to say the least
He gets his nose caught in a curler and his whole face greased
