Johnny Blue
First performance by: Lena Valaitis - 1981



Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, alle singen deine Lieder
Blue Blue Blue Jhonny Blue, und die ganze Welt hört zu

Er wuchs auf ohne Freunde, denn keiner wollt'spielen
mit einem der blind war wie er, und er saß meist zu Hause
die Jungen dort draußen, die riefen bloß hinter ihm her

Sie riefen
Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, welche Farbe hat die Sonne?
Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue - Kinder können grausam sein

Auf der alten Gitarre, die ihm jemand schenkte
da spielte er - sie war sein Freund, seine Lieder die klangen
nach Hoffnung und Freude und manchmal als ob jemand weint

Und er sang
Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue - und die Kinder hörten zu

Und bald spielte keiner so wie er
seine Lieder, die gingen den Menschen ans Herz
und er malte Farben aus Musik
und vergaß all seinen Schmerz

Und bald kamen zehntausend zu seinen Konzerten
denn er schenkte ihnen die Kraft an die Zukunft zu glauben
im Dunkel des Lebens, er hatte es selber geschafft

Oh, Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, und sie kamen immer wieder
Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, keiner spielt so schön wie du
Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, alle singen deine Lieder
Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, und die ganze Welt hört zu

Precious Love
Composer(s): Bob Welch
Performer(s): Bob Welch



You got those big dark eyes that flash at me, baby
You got a head on your shoulders, you know what I mean
You got legs so long like you could walk on air
For you darlin', I'd go anywhere

(chorus)
For your love, your precious love
I'd do anything, yes I would
I want your love, your precious love
I've been too lonely too long

You got a kind of walk that's just so fine
The way you fill those blue jeans baby, my my my
Yes and when you smiled at me like you did just now
All I want is just to get to you somehow

(repeat chorus)

Yeah those big dark eyes that flash at me
It's just your precious love that I want, you to see

(repeat chorus)

So Wrong
Composer(s): Danny Dill - Carl Perkins - Mel Tillis
Performer(s): Patsy Cline
and multiple other artists



I've been so wrong, for so long
Thought I could live without the love that you give
I was wrong, oh, so wrong
I've been so wrong, for so long
I didn't know that I loved you so
I was wrong

Well, I never knew I could want you darlin'
Oh, so much
Now that you're gone, I dream of you
And your sweet touch
I was so wrong, for so long
But I've seen the light, darlin', I'll make it right
I was wrong

Well, I never knew I could want you darlin'
Oh, so much
Now that you're gone, I dream of you
And your sweet touch
I was so wrong, for so long
But I've seen the light, darlin', I'll make it right
I was wrong

Precious Jewel
Performer(s): The Delmore Brothers



Way back in the hills when a boy I once wandered
Way deep in the grave lies the gal that I love
She was called from this earth a jewel for heaven
More precious than diamonds more precious than gold

A jewel here on earth a jewel in heaven
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
May the angels have peace God bless her in heaven
They've broken my heart and they've left me to roam

When a girl of sixteen we courted each other
She promised someday to become my sweet wife
I bought her the ring to wear on her finger
But the angels they called her in heaven one night

This world has left its wealth its trials and troubles
The earth holds her treasures of diamonds and gold
But they can't hold the soul of one precious jewel
She's resting in peace in the heavenly fold

So Wrong
Composer(s): Patrick Simmons - Chris Thompson
Performer(s): Patrick Simmons



They were young
Living for the moment
Hearts on fire
Burning in the night
Hopeless love
Driving them together
I dont know why

Vicious words
Cut them like a razor
Filthy lies
Tearing them apart
So they run
Clinging to each other
Cant get too far

So wrong, so wrong
How could they be
So wrong, so wrong
How could love be so wrong
I dont know why

Late at night
Tryin for the border
Through the police rendezvous
Warning shots
Flyin all around
What can they do

So wrong, so wrong
How could they be
So wrong, so wrong
How could love be so wrong
I dont know why

Precious And Few
Composer(s): Walter Nims
Performer(s): Climax



Precious and few are the moments we two can share
Quiet and blue, like the sky, I'm hung over you
And if I can't find my way back home, it just wouldn't be fair
Precious and few are the moments we two can share

Baby, it's you on my mind, your love is so rare
Being with you is a feeling I just can't compare
And if I can't hold you in my arms, it just wouldn't be fair
'Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share

And if I can't find my way back home it just wouldn't be fair 
'Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share

Precious and few are the moments we two can share
Quiet and blue, like the sky, I'm hung over you
And if I can't find my way back home, it just wouldn't be fair
'Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share

The One That Got Away
Composer(s): Jim Reeves - Buddy Killen
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



Out with someone new almost ev'ry day
People look at me, I can hear them say
He's so lucky, he has everything going his way

I can't let them know that I really don't
I'm not with the one that I really want
And I'm still in love with the one that got away

The one that got away took all my love, not just a part
The one that got away, got away with my heart

If we chance to meet on some lonely street
And I pass you by without a word to say
I'm just thinkin' 'bout the one that got away
If we chance to meet on some lonely street
And I pass you by without a word to say
I'm just thinkin' 'bout the one that got away

Prayers On Fire 
Composer(s): Nick Cave
Performer(s): The Birthday Party



This place is hell to me
With the devil in my bed
And the devil in this bottle
And the devil in my head
I'll meet you in heaven again
If you wear that dress again
(I'll have one more drink, my friend)
Where my heart is kept on ice
And prayers burst into flames
Prayers on fire

Pick Me Up On Your Way Down
(French Version: J'attendrai Le Prochain Train - 1975)
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
First release by: Charlie Walker - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists



You were mine for just a while
Now you're puttin' on the style
And you've never once looked back
At your home across the track
You're the gossip of the town
But my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground
Pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone
When their glamour starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down

They have changed your attitude
Made you haughty and so rude
Your new friends can take the blame
Underneath you're still the same
When you've learned these things are true
I'll be waiting here for you
As you tumble to the ground
Pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone
When the glamour starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down

Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition
Composer(s): Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Kay Kyser;
and various other artists



Down went the gunner, a bullet was his fate
Down went the gunner, then the gunner's mate
Up jumped the sky pilot, gave the boys a look
And manned the gun himself as he laid aside The Book, shouting...

"Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition
Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition
Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free"

Praise The Lord, and swing into position
Can't afford to sit around a-wishin'
Praise The Lord, we're all between perdition
And the deep blue sea"

Yes, the sky pilot said it
You've got to give him credit
For a son-of-a-gun of a gunner was he
Shouting...

"Praise The Lord, we're on a mighty mission
All aboard, we're not a-goin' fishin'
Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free"

So tell me, Babe, what's new?
And how's the scene with you?
Gee, it's good to see you, Babe!
Yeah, I  need  you so
How, you'll never know
Gee, it's good to see you, Babe!

You walked in, the lights went on
All over my face
You lit up the place
And you've been gone just too long now

So tell me, Babe, what's new?
You glad to see me, too?
Hey, my world is  spinning, now I know I'm winning
You stay home now, don't ever roam now
And I'll say, "Babe, it's so good to see you!"

Practice Makes Perfect
Composer(s): Ernest Gold; Don Roberts
Performer(s): Billie Holiday;
and various other artists



If practice makes perfect
Let's try that old embrace
In some romantic place
Where we can take our time

If practice makes perfect
Just close you eyes again
We'll try those sighs again
And make them more sublime

We're in love's kindergarten
Learning from a to z
And if it's fun just starting
Think what it's going to be

If practice makes perfect
Let's have that kiss again
We mustn't miss again
We're not doing bad right now

We're in love's kindergarten
Learning from a to z
And if it's fun just starting
Think what it's going to be

If practice makes perfect
Let's have that kiss again
We mustn't miss again
We're not doing bad
Let's practice some more
We're not doing bad right now

T'aimer Follement
(English, German, & Italian Versions: Makin' Love; So Verrückt; T'amero' Dolcemente)
Composer(s): Floyd Robinson - André Salvet - Jacques Plait
Performer(s): Dalida



Tout autour de nous
Les gens sont jaloux
Ils me reprochent surtout
D'avoir pour toi des yeux trop doux
Et de t'aimer follement
Mon amour
De t'aimer follement
Nuit et jour

Ça n'est pas gentil
Mais ça m'est égal
Je me moque de ce qu'on dit
Car moi je trouve que c'est normal
De t'aimer follement
Mon amour
De t'aimer follement
Nuit et jour

Je pense à chaque instant
Que tout peut m'arriver
Mais mon cœur ne peut changer
Il sera toujours vraiment content
De t'aimer follement
Mon amour
De t'aimer follement
Nuit et jour

Un jour si tu veux
On peut partir tous deux
Partir en se moquant
De ceux qui enragent en nous voyant
Nous aimer follement
Mon amour
Nous aimer follement
Nuit et jour

Ah que la vie est douce
Quand on est amoureux
Un rien me rend heureux
Le ciel est plus bleu et tout me pousse
À t'aimer follement
Mon amour
À t'aimer follement
Nuit et jour

Mais quand tu n'es pas là
Je pense encore à toi
Car je sais que tu reviendras
Et personne au monde ne m'empêchera
De t'aimer follement
Mon amour
De t'aimer follement
Nuit et jour

Power Play 
Composer(s): John Kay
Performer(s): Steppenwolf; Etta James



What gives you the right hey you
To stand there and tell me what to do
Tell me who gave you the power
To stop me from living like I do
Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away
Don't bite the hand that feeds you

Just one time I'd like to be somewhere where 
None of your clever lies fill the air 
I'm tired of your frozen smile and your voice of tin
Just might all gang up on you
Turn the knob and do you in

Remember if you plan to stay 
Those who give can take away
Don't bite the hand that feeds you

This never ending power play
"between Jealous greed and vicious hate 
Is grinding us like giant millstones
But it can't be our only fate 
It's time we got our heads together
And let them know that we're awake

Those in the dark, you know they're no longer blind
They're breaking from your strangle hold on their minds
Those that can see don't need no one to cross the street
Be careful who you're pushing round
They just might find you obsolete

Remember if you plan to stay 
Those who give can take away
Don't bite the hand that feeds you

Und die grauen strassen sind für uns das paradies

Wenn Du Da Bist
Composer(s): Werner Böhmler       	 
First performance by: Marty Brem - 1981



Wenn du fort bist, und all' die Vögel singen doch
Wenn du fort bist, und die Blumen blühen doch
Wenn ich einsam, und all' die Menschen um mich her tun
Als ob nichts geschehen wär'...

Wenn du fort bist, hör' ich das Vogelsingen nicht
Wenn du fort bist, ist selbst die Sonne trübes Licht
Was ich tue, es ist alles ward und leer
Dann fehlst du mir so sehr

Doch wenn du da bist, und ich atme deine Naehe
Mir ganz nah bist, und ich in die Augen sehe
Wenn du da bist, und ich dich in die Arme nehme
Dann vergessen wir die Welt ringsum uns her
Wenn du da bist, seh ich die Bäume wieder blühen
Wenn du da bist, seh ich die Blumen wieder blühen
Wenn du da bist, ja denn wünsch' ich mir so sehr
Bitte geh nicht fort nie mehr

Wenn du fort bist, laufe ich ohne Ziel umher
Ganz verloren, fül' ich mich ausgehoellt und leer
Wenn du fort bist, habe ich keine Plaene mehr
Dann fehlst du mir so sehr

Doch wenn du da bist, und ich atme deine Naehe
Mir ganz nah bist, und ich in die Augen sehe
Wenn du da bist, und ich dich in die Arme nehme
Dann vergessen wir die Welt ringsum uns her
Wenn du da bist, seh ich die Bäume wieder blühen
Wenn du da bist, seh ich die Blumen wieder blühen
Wenn du da bist, ja denn wünsch' ich mir so sehr
Bitte geh nicht fort nie mehr

Power In The Music

Performer(s): The Guess Who



Round about ‘20 the folks had plenty
No, they couldn’t ask for too much more
The Fatha kept thumpin’ and The Satch got jumpin’
And they rang right through with a roar
Then around ‘30 when things got dirty
All the players meant a whole lot more
The Duke got stompin’ and The Count started rompin’
And what do you think it was for?

They put power in the music, and boy, you oughta hear it now
They put power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how...

Round about ‘40 when things got sporty
They were dancin’ every night till dawn
The Bird got ‘em hoppin’ with his crazy be-boppin’
And Frankie crooned on and on
Then around ‘50 when folks got nifty
They were gettin’ round to bendin’ an ear
Chuck was duck-walkin’ and The King got rockin’
And what do you think was here?

They got power in the music, and boy, you oughta hear it now
They got power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how...

Then Four Boys made a brand new noise, from far beyond the sea
We loved All Four and we yelled for more, it was natural as could be
Watts went up and loose ends went down, now it’s anything it wants to be

We got power in the music, and boy you oughta hear it now
We got power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how
Don’t you know they gave it power, power in the music
Yay, Yay, Yay
Can’t you feel it giving you now, power in the music
Yay, Yay, Yay
Can’t you feel it growing every day, power in the music
Yaz, Yaz, Yaz
Don’t you feel it disbursing, power in the music
Yay, Yay, Yay
You see them dancing up and down now, there’s power in the music
Yay, Yay, Yay
I feel it growing every day now, there’s power in the music
Yaz, Yaz, Yaz
