Skinny Man Composer(s): Mikhael Kollander Performer(s): The 5th Dimension
Hey and around and around he goes Hey and around and around he goes
There was a skinny man who lived on a hill Hey and around and around And if I'm not mistaken he lives there still Hey and around and around He's got a carrot patch and a roof of thatch And two little pots in a yard (He)Don't go to school or work like a fool because he knows it's too hard
He gets up in the morning and walks through the green Hey and around and around He knows of places where you've never been Hey and around and around (I)Can understand why he feels that way 'cause I've felt that way too I like to walk in the woods all day with nothing else to do
Hey and around and around he goes Look at what he's found And the leaves run through his toes Hey and around and around
The skinny man who lives on the hill Hey and around and around He lives all alone and does what he will Hey and around and around There is no one to tell him what or how or why or where He sometimes waits up late at night for the girl who isn't there
Hey and around and around he goes Look at what he's found And the leaves run through his toes Hey and around and around
Hey and around and around he goes Hey and around and around he goes
Pink Houses Composer(s): John Mellencamp Performer(s): John Cougar Mellencamp; and various other artists
There's a black man with a black cat
livin' in a black neighborhood He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard You know he thinks that he's got it so good And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evenin' slop And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin', I can remember when you could stop a clock"
Chorus: Oh but ain't that America for you and me Ain't that America somethin' to see baby Ain't that America home of the free Little pink houses for you and me
There's a young man in a t-shirt Listenin' to a rockin' rollin' station He's got greasy hair, greasy smile He says, "Lord this must be my destination" 'Cause they told me when I was younger "Boy you're gonna be president" But just like everything else those old crazy dreams Just kinda came and went
Chorus
Well there's people and more people What do they know know know Go to work in some high rise And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico Ooh yeah And ther's winners and there's losers But they ain't no big deal 'Cause the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills the pills that kill
Skinny Legs And All Composer(s): Joe Tex Performer(s): Joe Tex; Wee Willie & The Winks; Tony Joe White
(night club) Say man, don't walk ahead of that woman like she don't belong to you! Just 'cause hers got them little skinny legs You know, that ain't no way to do You didn't act like that when you had it home behind closed doors! Alright...

Now, Who'll take the woman with the skinny legs? C'mon somebody please take the lady with the skinny legs Now, you all know the lady with the skinny legs got to have somebody too, now Will somebody please take the lady with the skinny legs, please?
(asking) "Hey, Joe".. (Joe answers) "Yeah Bobby? Why don't you take her? (response) You-a-fool? I don't want no woman with no skinny legs Look here,I thought I might give this woman to Clyde But, no, I know the kinda woman Clyde likes! So Leroy'll take her Say Leroy? You got her!!
Say, Miss? Right here? Now why you wanna act like that man ain't yours? Just cause he's walkin with you, with them raggedy clothes Man just forgot to get his suit out a the cleaners, that's all Alright...alright... Act like that man don't belong to ya! Go on over there and kiss him and hold his hand Go on..say you ain't gonna do What? That's alright You just walk on Mister
and don't you worry about a doggone thing, a'tall because there's some woman somewhere who'll take you, "Mr. Raggedy" clothes and all!
Pink House Composer(s): Astrud Gilberto Performer(s): Astrud Gilberto
I wanna pink house at the shore I wanna love that lasts forever more I wanna cat and a dog, and a fireplace too I want the music playing at a barbecue I wanna house full of friends and a jacuzzi for two But most of all, I want you
I know I want a king-size bed A tub that's large enough for a bubble-bath I wanna a white picket fence, and a garden, too An apple tree would be nice, to sit under with you Some quiet nights for romance and cozy dinners for two But most of all, I want you
'Cause you're the cherry that sits on top of the cream You are the lover that stepped right out of my dream You are the one my one needs to be two And make a "we" of me and you
I wanna pink house at the shore I wanna love that lasts forever more I wanna cat and a dog, and a fireplace too I want the music playing at a barbecue I wanna house full of friends and a jacuzzi for two But most of all, I want you
Amanece, la lluvia moja lentamente mi despertar La gente camina cerca de mi soledad sin parar Amanece Parece que el cielo se nubló para nosotros Desde el momento triste en que escuché tu adiós
Yo sé de un lugar, a través del mar Donde el día brilla más cuando amanece Nuestra nave irá rumbo hacia esa luz Por el mar de tu confianza Con viento de esperanza en el mañana
Escucha, tratemos de empezar hoy otra vez, ¿por qué no? Si quieres será nuestra bandera la amistad y el amor Amanece Busquemos, busquemos en el cielo azules nuevos Ganemos la batalla a nuestra incomprensión
Yo sé de un lugar, a través del mar Donde el día brilla más cuando amanece Nuestra nave irá rumbo hacia esa luz Por el mar de tu confianza Con viento de esperanza en el mañana
Yo sé de un lugar, a través del mar Donde el día brilla más cuando amanece Yo sé de un lugar, a través del mar Donde el día brilla más cuando amanece
Pink Cadillac Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen
You may think I'm fooling For the foolish things I do You may wonder how come I love you When you get on my nerves like you do Well baby, you know you bug me There ain't no secret about that Well come on over here and hug me And, baby, I'll spill the facts Well, honey it ain't your money Cause baby I got plenty of that
I love you for your pink Cadillac Crushed velvet seats Riding in the back, oozing down the street Waving to the girls Feeling out of sight Spending all my money on a Saturday night Honey, I just wonder what you do there in back of your pink Cadillac Pink Cadillac
Well now way back in the Bible, temptations always come along There's always somebody tempting you Somebody into doing something they know is wrong Well they tempt you man with silver and they tempt you sir with gold And they tempt you with the pleasures that the flesh does surely hold They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple Man I ain't going for that
I know it was her pink Cadillac Crushed velvet seats Riding in the back, oozing down the street Waving to the girls Feeling out of sight Spending all my money on a Saturday night Honey, I just wonder what you do there in back of your pink Cadillac
Now some folks say it's too big and uses too much gas Some folks say it's too old and that it goes too fast But my love is bigger than a Honda, it's bigger than a Subaru Hey man there's only one thing and one car that will do Anyway we don't have to drive it honey, we can park it out in back And have a party in your pink Cadillac

Comé Comédie Composer(s): Frédéric Botton First performance by: Betty Mars - 1972
Come come comédie Comme comme comme on dit En amour c'est toujours comme ça Come come comédie Une chanson qu'on oublie Mais un jour il reviendra Quelques pages d'une vie Qu'on effeuille et c'est ainsi Que la Terre tournera Come come comédie Comme comme comme on dit Quand on s'aime toi et moi
Notre histoire s'écrit en deux mots Je t'aime, tu m'aimes Quoi de plus beau? Pourquoi faut-il s'en défendre? Pourquoi chercher à comprendre? Puisqu'on chante aussitôt
Come come comédie Comme comme comme on dit Le bonheur n'est jamais si simple Come come comédie Les faits faux aujourd'hui Pourraient être vrais demain Le temps d'orage ou bien la pluie Les chagrins et les soucis Après tout cela n'est rien Come come comédie Comme comme comme on dit Ces trois notes à mon refrain Come come comédie Comme comme comme on dit En amour c'est toujours comme ça Come come comédie L'on dit non puis on dit oui En regardant quelquefois Quelque part je dis la vie Qu'on effeuille et c'est ainsi Que la Terre tournera Come come comédie Comme comme comme on dit Autant que l'on s'aimera Come come comédie Comme comme on dit
Skin I'm In Composer(s): Larry Blackmon Performer(s): Cameo
Who's the face in the mirror That I see sometimes confused By the double-standards of society And maybe I'm wrong about the way I feel But then, will somebody tell me What is really real
Now, I respect myself, I respect you too But in the end it's got to be Do unto me as I do to you Now I'm trying to tell you it's time Somewhere and I walk to my design Somewhere in the truth from my life To live like people so inspired
As the waters out to sea Let's simply respect humanity One time seem to be We're getting it together, it's for real If we have truth we can't survive And for that our forefathers have died It should be immoral or a sin If it is according to the skin I'm in Skin I'm in
Tell me how many times How many times can I adjust my attitude To reach and touch the sky Is it love or decree by which I live But then sometimes I wonder Just how much a man can give
Truth and justice that's around me From the highest levels of power And you think these are the people I depend on for my survival Is this for real Or am I seeing shadows in the dark I let you tell me, tell me Can you tell me brother
Peaceful waters out to see And simply respect humanity I'm just trying to be realistic But now I'm becoming pessimistic At least I know we can survive A damn good reason to stay alive Is it immortal or a sin It shouldn't be according to the skin I'm in
It's the waters out to sea Basic respect to humanity I'm just trying to be for real In a world with less appeal At first they seem to fluster At what's happening to justice Is it immoral or a sin If it is according to the skin I'm in Skin I'm in
Pince-Moi, J'hallucine Composer(s): F. Laumont; P. Besombes; C. Creuset; X. Thibault Performer(s): Annie Cordy
Entrée par erreur Au musée des horreurs Je m'fais des frayeurs J'entends battre mon cur Les esprits frappeurs Sont-ils à l'intérieur Et s'ils sont ailleurs Qu'ils cognent comme un boxeur
Pince-moi, j'hallucine J'rêve pas, y a quelque chose qui m'turlupine Pince-moi, j'hallucine J'rêve pas, je nage dans l'hémoglobine Ahhhhhh! y a des fantômes Y a des sorcières Y a de l'Halloween dans l'air
Salle des étrangleurs D'où vient donc cette odeur? Je sens qu'j'ai mes vapeurs Je m'éclipse en douceur Deux trois embaumeurs M'regardent inquisiteurs Tu parles d'une demeure Si j'en sors pas... je meurs Pince-moi, j'hallucine J'rêve pas, Y a quelque chose qui m'turlupine Pince-moi, j'hallucine J'rêve pas, je nage dans l'hémoglobine Y a des fantômes! Y a des sorcières! Y a de l'Halloween dans l'air! Et tous ces sque-squelettes Qui cli-cli-quettent Je m'demande c'qui ont dans la tê-tête Y a des fantômes! Y a des sorcières! Y a de l'Halloween dans l'air!
Un rire massacreur Résonne avec ardeur Comble de terreur Minuit sonne, quel malheur Je crois qu'c'est l'éventreur Ah ! sacré farceur Je change de couleur J'te dis pas... ça fait peur!
Pince-moi, j'hallucine J'rêve pas... Y a quelque chose qui m'turlupine Pince-moi, j'hallucine J'rêve pas, je nage dans l'hémoglobine Pince-moi... ad lib
Nur Die Liebe Läßt Uns Leben First performance by: Mary Roos - 1972
Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben Tage im hellen Sonnenschein kann nur sie allein uns geben nur wer liebt, wird niemals einsam sein
Wir warten und wir hoffen und wir träumen der Tag vergeht und nimmt die Träume mit Die Nacht ist lang und du bist nicht bei mir doch mein Herz, es findet seinen Weg zu dir
Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben alles vergessen und verzeih'n dann wird jeder dir vergeben nur wer liebt wird niemals einsam sein
Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben Tage im hellen Sonnenschein kann nur sie allein uns geben nur wer liebt, wird niemals einsam sein
Ich wußte, daß die Wege, die wir gehen verworren sind, und daß es Tränen gibt Das zählt nicht mehr hast du das nicht gesehen du wirst die Straße deiner Sehnsucht geh'n
Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben alles vergessen und verzeih'n dann wird wieder dir vergeben nur wer liebt wird niemals einsam sein
Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben Tage im hellen Sonnenschein kann nur sie allein uns geben nur wer liebt, wird niemals einsam sein
Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben Tage im hellen Sonnenschein kann nur sie allein uns geben nur wer liebt, wird niemals einsam sein
Pinball Wizard Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release: The Who - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all But I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine Feeling all the bumpers, always playing clean Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist How do you think he does it I don't know What makes him so good
Ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes or bells Don't see lights a-flashing, plays by sense of smell Always gets a replay, never seen him fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
I thought I was the Bally table king But I just handed my pinball crown to him
Even on my favourite table, he can beat my best His disciples lean him in and he just does the rest He's got crazy flipper fingers, never seen him fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Sun Palace
Meanwhile back in the year One when you belonged to no-one you didn't stand a chance son if your pants were undone 'Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society one day you'll wake up in the Present Day a million generations removed from expectations of being who you really want to be Skating away, skating away skating away on the thin ice of the New Day
So as you push off from the shore won't you turn your head once more and make your peace with everyone? For those who choose to stay will live just one more day to do the things they should have done And as you cross the wilderness spinning in your emptiness you feel you have to pray Looking for a sign that the Universal Mind has written you into the Passion Play Skating away, skating away skating away on the thin ice of the New Day
And as you cross the circle line the ice-wall creaks behind you're a rabbit on the run And the silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye shining in the setting sun Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense? Or that everybody's on the stage and it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience? Skating away, skating away skating away on the thin ice of the New Day
Pinball Composer(s): Brian Protheroe Performer(s): Brian Protheroe; Matt Deighton
And I've run out of pale ale And I feel like I'm in jail And my music bores me once again And I've been on the pinball And I know longer know it all And they say that you never know when you're insane
Got fleas in my bedroom Got flies in my bathroom And the cat just finished off the bread So I walk over Soho And I read about Monroe And I wonder was she really what they said
Got a call from a good friend Come on down for the weekend Didn't know if I could spare the time I knew a woman who was crazy About a boy who was lazy But it didn't work out 'cos they just couldn't make it rhyme
Hey Jude you were alright I could have grooved with you all night But you turned your back on the party game Mama if I keep my head clean Will I really have a good dream Or will I wake up in confusion just the same
And I've run out of pale ale And I feel like I'm in jail Got fleas in the bedroom Got flies in the bathroom Got a call from a good friend Come on down for the weekend Hey Jude you were alright I could have grooved with you all night
And I've been on the pale ale And I feel like a pinball
