Standing On The Corner Composer(s): Frank Loesser Performer(s): The Four Lads
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by Brother you don't know a nicer occupation Matter of fact, neither do I Than standing on a corner watching all the girls Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
I'm the cat that got the cream Haven't got a girl but I can dream Haven't got a girl but I can wish So I'll take me down to Main street And that's where I select my imaginary dish
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by Standing on a corner giving all the girls the eye Brother if you've got a rich imagination Give it a whirl, give it a try Try standing on a corner watching all the girls Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
Brother you can't go to jail for what you're thinking Or for that woo look in your eye Standing on the corner watching all the girls Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by

Chacun Pense À Soi First performance by: Ortal - 2005
Chacun pense à soi Comme si il ny avait que ça Chacun mène à bien Que ce quil veut bien
Chacun pense à soi Comme si il ny avait que ça Chacun mène à bien Que ce quil veut bien
Regardons autour de nous On vit dans un monde de fous Chacun cherche sa gloire Chacun cherche lespoir On oublie ce qui nous entoure Ceux qui nous donnent de lAmour On chasse de notre mémoire Ce qui nous empêche dy croire
On laisse au bord du chemin Les chagrins sans lendemain On poursuit chacun sa route On laisse au bord de la route Chacun tous ses petits doutes On poursuit son chemin
Chacun pense à soi Comme si il ny avait que ça Chacun mène à bien Que ce quil veut bien Chacun pense à soi Comme si il ny avait que ça Chacun mène à bien Que ce quil veut bien
Tenir au creux de ses mains Les clefs de notre destin Mener à la victoire Tous nos rêves dun soir Et on court après le temps On passe à côté des gens On court après largent On se cache, on se ment Même si la solitude Est notre seule attitude On garde en chacun de nous Lamour de ceux qui nous aiment Même si on a de la peine On se retrouvera
Même si la réalité Nest pas notre vérité On continue à y croire A se battre pour notre histoire Même si le prix à payer Est plus cher à chaque fois On continue à y croire Des espoirs pour nos espoirs
Chacun pense à soi Comme si il ny avait que ça Chacun mène à bien Que ce quil veut bien Chacun pense à soi Comme si il ny avait que ça Chacun mène à bien Que ce quil veut bien
Chacun pense à soi Comme si il ny avait que ça Chacun mène à bien Que ce quil veut bien Chacun pense à soi Comme si il ny avait que ça Chacun mène à bien Que ce quil veut bien

Standing In Your Line Composer(s): Barbara Fairchild Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild; Millie Jackson
If I could only understand you maybe I could cope With the loneliness I feel that comes with no hope of keeping you Cause you're free with your feelings When it comes to the dealings of your body and your mind And though I said I wouldn't be just one in a thousand Here I am standing in your line
You don't remember their names as you shower them with charm Never hold them in your heart even though you hold them in your arms You just pass out your affection When I came in your direction it must have been my time And though I hoped I could be different Something special to you Here I am standing in your line
Cause you're free with your feelings When it comes to the dealings of your body and your mind And though I hoped I would be different Something special to you Here I am standing in your line Standing in your line

Have you noticed that the sky above is blue That's why I say neighbour, hey neighbour You know what to do Spread your happiness around you as the days go by You'll find that habit catching if you'll only try Put a little love and laughter in your labour Hey neighbour that means you (Ches) (Spoken) Hey neighbour, say neighbour Tell me, how's the world with you? Aren't you glad to be alive this sunny morning Have you noticed, have you noticed that the sky above is blue

The War Is Not Over Composer(s): Martin Freimanis First performance by: Walters & Kazha - 2005
Ta na na na... na na... Na na na... na na...
I slowly walk into the night around To see how dreams of people die They gently fall from windows all around And crash against the ground like glass And I'm so sorry I'm so helpless in this angry world If only I could change it for one day
The war is not over, everyone knows it It's just a reason to make us believe That someone's the loser, someone's the winner To make us believe that's the way it should be But I don't wanna believe
In the story they all tell this fairy tale has gone too far I take a step and dare myself to be free To see how beautiful we are, that everyone can be a star If only we would start believe in dreams Believe in who we are
The war is not over, everyone knows it It's just a reason to make us believe That someone's the loser, someone's the winner To make us believe that's the way it should be But I don't wanna believe
But I don't wanna believe No, no, no, but I don't wanna believe
Standing In The Shadows Of Love (Italian Version: L'ombra Di Nessuno - 1967) Composer(s): Eddie Holland - Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland First release by: The Four Tops - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Standing in the shadows of love Waiting for the heartaches to come Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love And getting ready for the heartaches to come I'd run but there's no where to go 'Cause heartaches will follow me I know Without your love, the love I need It's the beginning of the end for me 'Cause you've taken away all reasons for living When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving Now wait a minute Didn't I teach you right, didn't I? Didn't I do the best I could, didn't I? So don't you leave me standing in the shadow of love I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come Don't you see me standing in the shadow of love Just trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
All alone I'll desperately be With misery my only company Come today, in fact come tomorrow Sorrow, I ain't got nothing but sorrow Don't your conscience bother you How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you Now hold a minute Gave you all the love I had, didn't I? When you needed me I was there, now wasn't I? (Standing in the shadows of love Getting ready for the heartaches to come) I've tried not to cry out loud No gal you ain't gonna help me now What did I do to cause all this grief Now what'd I say to make you want to leave Now wait a minute I gave my heart and soul to you, didn't I? Now didn't I always treat you good, didn't I? I'm standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come Hope to see you standing in the shadows of love Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come Standing in the shadows of..........

Don't want you to lead me to the dark Don't need you to tear my heart apart Don't do that, though people say that you're my enemy I know you can set me free (Oh oh...)
Don't want you to come so close to me Don't need you to blow my fantasy But I know that you are livin' far beyond those lies I can see the danger rise in your eyes
Cool vibes, why don't you kill me? Cool vibes, why don't you turn your eyes away? Can't you see we're free to die? Cool vibes, all we can do is fight and pray
Cool vibes, why don't you thrill me? (Cool vibes) Cool vibes, why don't you kill me? All that I can see are shadows of my destiny (Oh oh...)

Hey Louisa Ton corps n'est fait que pour faire des photos Hey Louisa Le monde entier a les yeux sur ta peau Mais tu es artificielle Comme la lumière des studios
Hey Louisa Toi la fille au sourire de papier Hey Louisa Ton cur ne bat qu'au rythme des clichés En noir en couleur tu poses Tu dors en couverture des journaux
Tu es dans Play-Boy Toute nue en page du milieu tout au milieu Mais tu auras faim De soleil et de réalité réalité
Hey Louisa Ton corps n'est pas fait que pour faire des photos Hey Louisa Et sous mes mains je sens vibrer ta peau
La fille de papier s'enflamme Notre amour n'est pas dans les journaux

Call Me Composer(s): Andrej Babic First performance by: Feminnem - 2005
Call me
I used to think that we could never make it That million hearts could never beat as one But now, miracle is not so hard to find
There were times when I really doubted If, after stormy weather, always comes the sun But now, I can see the world from a different side, yeah
Singer after singer, remembered Different flags, but nations gathered From the north to the south, all standing side by side
There was laughter and there was crying But after all, I'm not denying I'm so happy to be here, 'cause it's the time of my life
Call me Every time you're feeling lonely Our greatest wish is one and only Sing with me, it's how it should be For the rest of our lives
So won't you call me? We'll reach the very top and nothing less United in the song, that's all it takes Fifty candles on the party cakes For the many years of happiness
There were times when I really doubted If, after stormy weather, always comes the sun But now, I can see the world from a different side, yeah

Standing At The Crossroads Of Love Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Eddie Holland - Brian Holland Performer(s): Diana Ross & the Supremes
I'm standing at the crossroads of love I'm standing at the crossroads of love Don't know which way to go Don't know which way to turn Though the love I give is not returned For that boy My heart still yearns
So I'm standing at the crossroads of love 'Cause when I'm with him he mistreats me Runs around and cause me misery But I love him I can't deny And without him I'd surely die It hurts to be with him And it hurts to be without him
So I'm standing at the crossroads of love Just standing at the crossroads of love Don't know which way Don't know which way to go Don't know which way Don't know which way to turn
There's always tears on my pillow 'Cause I'm always in the middle Of heartache and emotion Heartbreak and devotion Loving, caring, when it's despairing Trying to be true Though it makes me blue
So I'm standing at the crossroads of love Just standing at the crossroads of love Don't know which way to turn Don't know which way to turn I'm standing at the crossroads
Hey Little Hen Composer(s): Ralph Butler; Noel Gay Performer(s): Nat Gonella; Chas and Dave; Joe Loss
(Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck) (Spoken) Hey, little hen, how about laying me an egg (Chicken noises to music) Now, listen, cut out the singing I want you to lay me an egg ("Too tired" .in chicken voice) Too tired, nothing Lay me an egg! ("Are you registered with me?" .in chicken voice) Now listen, I don't want to be registered with you, I'll probably pull a feather off you in a minute (Squawk, cluck, cluck, cluck) (Squawk, cluck, cluck, cluck) Now don't get mad, don't get mad
I had a lot of chickens, a large chicken run But owing to conditions I'm now down to one I give her all the tit-bits the dear little thing And just to keep her up to scratch, I go to her and sing
Hey little hen, when, when, when Will you lay me an egg for my tea Hey little hen, when, when, when Will you try to supply one for me Get into your nest Do your little best Get it off your chest I can do the rest Hey little hen, when, when, when Will you lay me an egg for my tea
