Song To A Seagull
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie - 1967
and multiple other artists



Fly silly seabird
No dreams can possess you 
No voices can blame you 
For sun on your wings 
My gentle relations 
Have names they must call me
For loving the freedom 
Of all flying things 
My dreams with the seagulls fly 
Out of reach out of cry 

I came to the city 
And lived like old Crusoe 
On an island of noise 
In a cobblestone sea 
And the beaches were concrete 
And the stars paid a light bill 
And the blossoms hung false 
On their store window trees 
My dreams with the seagulls fly 
Out of reach out of cry

Out of the city 
And down to the seaside 
To sun on my shoulders
And wind in my hair 
But sandcastles crumble 
And hunger is human 
And humans are hungry 
For worlds they can't share 
My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach out of cry 

I call to a seagull 
Who dives to the waters 
And catches his silver-fine 
Dinner alone
Crying where are the footprints 
That danced on these beaches 
And the hands that cast wishes 
That sunk like a stone 
My dreams with the seagulls fly 
Out of reach out of cry

Purple Lips
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



He reminds all the laughter
That has left me going down
And my heart is falling silently
Into the driving evening sound

Sometimes we must keep from bringing
Certain thoughts up to the light
And a matter of the winning
In a case of two lips lies

I have been looking out for him
From over this broken bridge
The safest place it seems to be
To ever reach his purple lips 

Dreamin'
Composer(s): Richard Abbot - Barry Woods
First performance by: Eddie Friel - 1995



Dreamin'
Dreamin' on a silver sea of moonlight
Magic fills the night
Melodies alight, when I'm dreamin'
 
Dreamin'
Dreamin' how I love this nowhere feelin'
Round and round I go
Shadows soft and low, when I'm dreamin'
 
You can sail on any ocean
Dream an easy melody
Moonlight magic shines so gently
Moonlight magic harmony
 
Night time slips away in silence
(Dreamin')
And daylight steals across my silver sea
And goodbye dreamin' in the moonlight
(Goodbye)
Sleepy wake up to reality
 
Lalala...
Lala lala lala lala lalala...
Lala la lala...
Underneath the stars, dreamin'
 
Far away a blue horizon
Driftin' on the midnight sea
Moonlight magic shines so gently
Moonlight magic harmony
 
(Dreamin')
(Lala lala lala lala lalala...)
Sleepy wake up to reality
(Dreamin')

Purple Haze
Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix
Performer(s): Jimi Hendrix



Purple Haze was in my brain
lately things don't seem the same
actin' funny but I don't know why
'scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple Haze all around
don't know if I'm coming up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Purple Haze was in my eyes
don't know if it's day or night
you've got me blowing, blowing my mind
is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Me and you
Are subject to
The blues now and then
But when you
Take the blues
And make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again

Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow

Funny thing
But you can sing
It with a cry in your voice
And before you know
Start to feeling good
You simply got no choice

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Purple Dancer

Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac



I love the purple dancer
Dancing in the space of...time
She can surely know the answer
Standing in the steps of...mine

Will I need her
Will I wonder
Will I fall down to the ground
Is it love that is the answer
Will she lift me to the sound

Must I stay a minute longer
Eyes bewitching me does more
Tries to keep me from my wonder
Knowing her, now I must go

Will I need her
Will I wonder
Will I fall down to the ground
Is it love that is the answer
Will she lift me to the sound

I love the purple dancer
Dancing in the space of...time
She can surely know the answer
Standing in the steps of...mine

Will I need her
Will I wonder
Will I fall down to the ground
Is it love that is the answer
Will she lift me to the sound

I won't stay a minute longer
Eyes bewitching me does more
Tries to keep me from my wonder
Knowing her, now I must go

Song sung blue

Io non ho piu' voce

Song sung blue

Spegni quella luce
Io e te il mondo e' qui'
La vita e' qui'

Noi siamo nelle mani dell'amore

Ma ce' qualcosa in te
Che sta morendo ormai

Song sung blue

Cosa ti succede

Song sung blue

Guardami e si vede
Io e te
Il fatto e' qui non ci capiamo piu'
Abbiamo bisogno ormai di fantasia

E altre lune blu

Io e te il mondo e' qui'
La vita e' qui'

Ma guando il sole muore
Nei tuoi occhi
Non puo' sorridere piu'

Song sung blue

Parla amore mio

Song sung blue

Devo dirti addio
Forse un giorno a primavera
Ci troveremo ancora
Ma ora e' troppo tardi amore mio
Ti devo dire addio

Song sung blue

Resta ancora un'ora

Song sung blue

Devo dirti addio
Forse un giorno a primavera
Ci troveremo ancora
Ma ora e' troppo tardi amore mio

Mi devi dire addio

Ma ora e' troppo tardi amore mio

Mi devi dire addio

Pure Jam
Composer(s): Peter Barakan; Yukihiro Takahashi
Performer(s): Yellow Magic Orchestra



This must be the ugliest piece of bread
I've ever eaten
Wrapped in a foil-like substance
It's an unidentified object
Shapelessly square
God it's so ugly
(Jam desho)
I wonder why
Maybe the answer lies
(Sore jam desho, dozo)
In the thickness or the size

Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination

Trav'ling in the world of my creation
What we'll see will defy

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be 

Hobo's Lullaby
Composer(s): Goebel Reeves
Performer(s): Goebel Reeves
and multiple other artists



Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rail humming
That's the hobo's lullaby

Do not think about tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
Safe from all the wind and snow

I know your clothes are torn and ragged
And your hair is turning grey
Lift your face and smile at trouble
You'll find peace and rest some day

I know the police cause you trouble
They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to heaven
You won't find no policemen there

Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rail humming
That's the hobo's lullaby

Pure And Simple

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
It's pure and simple
I'll be there for you
You've been saying that I'm driving you crazy
And I haven't been around for you lately
But I've had a few things on my mind

When I'm with you I am filled with emotion
Can't you see I'm giving you devotion
And a love like this is hard to find

I know I've been walking around in a daze(baby baby)
You gotta believe me when I say

Whatever you do (I know I'm gonna be there)
It's pure and simple
I'll be there for you
What ever it takes

I'll be there for you

I've been there through the stormiest weather
Always trying to make things a bit better
And I know I've gotta try to get it through to you

You can love me in a way like no other
But the situation's taking you under
So you gotta tell me now whatcha wanna doooo

Wherever you go (I'll always be there)
Whatever you do (I know 'm gonna be there)
It's pure and simple
I'll be there for you
Whatever it takes
I swear it's true
It's pure and simple
I'll be there for you

I'll always be there for you baby
You know that I'll always be around (I'm gonna be there)
Oh yeh (you know I'm gonna be there)

I'll always be there for you honey
You know I'll never let you down

Yeh yeh yeh

You've cried the last tear you're gonna cry
You've kissed your last lips that cheat and lie
Forget him baby he's just not worth hurtin' for
Your heartache's over it's all gone
I'll make you happy from now on
And no one's gonna hurt you anymore

You've been mistreated, neglected and cheated
Out of the love you should've had
But give me a while and I'll make you smile
for the times he's made you sad
You've cried the last tear you're gonna cry
You've kissed your last lips that cheat and lie

Baby, no one's gonna hurt you anymore
Don't be afraid, darling, come to me
Cling to me and I'll kiss away all of your tears

Here in my arms you'll be safe from harm
Now and for all the coming years
Your heartache's over it's all gone
I'll make you happy from now on

No one's gonna hurt you anymore
Baby, no one's gonna hurt you anymore...

Versions In Other Languages:

Well I saw the thing comin out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"
It looks like a purple eater to me

It was a one eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater
One eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater
A one eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me {one eye}

Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mr. purple people eater, don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough

It was a one eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater
One eyed, one horned flyin' purple people eater
One eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me {one horn}

I said Mr. purple people eater, what's your line?
He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
We wear short shorts
flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me

And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum lum boom

Well bless my soul flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
I like short shorts
flyin' little people eater
Sure looks strange to me purple people

Then he went on his way, and then what do you know?
I saw him last night on a tv show
He was blowing it out, a really knockin' them dead
playin' rock and roll music through the horn on his head

Won't It Ever Be Morning
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson



Won`t it ever be morning
Won`t the dawn ever break
Won`t it ever quit hurtin`
How much can I take?

A man could go crazy
In the shape that I`m in
I love you and miss you so much
Won`t it ever be morning again?

It`s barely twelve o`clock
But I`ve already spent a lifetime
Just sittin` here and wishin` it
Was any time but nighttime.

Outside the winds are moanin` low
And I just heard it thunder
Your picture on the wall just laughed at me
And I just wonder.

Won`t it ever be morning
Won`t the dawn ever break
Won`t it ever quit hurtin`
How much can I take?

A man could go crazy
In the shape that I`m in
I love you and miss you so much
Won`t it ever be morning again?

I love you and miss you so much
Won`t it ever be morning again?...

Puppy Love 
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka



And they called it puppy love
Oh I guess they’ll never know
How a young heart really feels
And why I love her so

And they called it puppy love
Just because we’re seventeen
Tell them all it isn’t fair
To take away my only dream

I cry each night these tears for you
My tears are all in vein
Oh I’ll hope and I’ll pray that may be some day
You’ll be back in my arms once again

Someone help me, help me please
Is the answer up above
How can I ever tell them
This is not a puppy love

Someone help me, help me please
Is the answer up above
How can I ever tell them
This is not a puppy love 

Song On The Sand
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
Performer(s): Elisabeth Welch



Do you recall that beach we walked along that afternoon in fall
That afternoon we met?
A fellow with a concertina sang… what was the song?
It is strange what we recall and how what we forget

I heard la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da as we walked on the sand
La-da-da-da – I believe it was early September
Through the crash of the waves I could tell that the words were romantic
Something about ‘sharing’, something about ‘always’
Though the years race along, I still think of our song of the sand
And I still try and search for the words I can barely remember
Though the time tumbles by, there is one thing that I am forever certain of
I hear la-da-da-da-da
And I am young and in love

Da-da-da, da-da-da, as we walked on the sand
I heard 

La-da-da-da – I believe it was early September
Through the crash of the waves I could tell that the words were romantic
Something about ‘sharing’, something about ‘always’
Though the years race along, I still think of our song of the sand
And I still try and search for the words I can barely remember
Though the time tumbles by, there is one thing that I am forever certain of
I hear la-da-da-da-da
And I am young and in love

Puppet On A String
(Danish Version: Lille Marionet - 1967)
Composer(s): William Wylie MacPherson Martin; Phil Coulter
First release by: Sandie Shaw - 1967



I wonder if one day that
You'll say that you care
If you say you love me madly
I'll gladly be there
Like a puppet on a string 

Love is just like a merry-go-round
With all the fun of the fair
One day I'm feeling down on the ground
Then I'm up in the air
Are you leading me on?
Tomorrow, will you be gone? 

I wonder if one day that
You'll say that you care
If you say you love me madly
I'll gladly be there
Like a puppet on a string 

I may win on the roundabouts
But then I'll lose on the swings
In or out, there is never a doubt
Just who's pulling the strings
I'm so tied up in you
But where's it leading me to? 

I wonder if one day that
You'll say that you care
If you say you love me madly
I'll gladly be there
Like a puppet on a string 

I wonder if one day that
You'll say that you care
If you say you love me madly
I'll gladly be there
Like a puppet on a string 

Like a puppet on a...
...string 

Je Suis Un Vrai Garçon
First performance by: Nina Morato - 1994



Je peux pas

J'veux pas, j'peux pas
Laisse-moi
J'veux pas, j'peux pas
J'ai pas
Lâche-moi

J'veux pas rentrer chez moi
Il n'est plus rien pour moi
Mais j'peux pas tout lui dire
J'veux pas lui mentir
Je sais j'suis son amour
Forcément y'a des jours
Où c'est lourd
C'est lourd

Je suis un vrai garçon
Je suis un vrai garçon
Je suis celle qui t'ensorcelle
Elle...

J'vais pas rentrer chez moi
Lui raconter pourquoi
Pourquoi j'aurais pas dû
Et comment j'ai pu
Je sais j'suis son amour
Forcément y'a des jours
Où c'est lourd
C'est lourd

Je suis un vrai garçon
Je suis un vrai garçon
Je suis celle qui t'ensorcelle
Elle...

Je suis un vrai garçon

J'peux plus rentrer chez moi
J'ai pas d'explication
C'est un autre qui m'a perdu ma raison
Je sais j'suis son amour
Mais putain y'a des jours
Où c'est lourd
C'est lourd

Je suis un vrai garçon
Je suis un...
C'est lourd
Je suis un vrai garçon

Je suis un vrai...
C'est moi
