Hung Up On A Dream Composer(s): Rod Argent Performer(s): The Zombies; Chrysanthemums; Fastbacks
Well I remember yesterday Just drifting slowly through a crowded street With neon darkness shimmering through the haze A sea of faces rippling in the heat And from that nameless changing crowd A sweet vibration seemed to fill the air I stood astounded staring hard At men with flowers resting in their hair...
A sweet confusion filled my mind Until I woke up only finding everything was just a dream A dream unusual of its kind That gave me peace and blew my mind And now I'm hung up on a dream...
They spoke with soft persuading words About a living creed of gentle love And turned the arm to sounds unheard And showed me strangest clouded sights above Which gentle touched my aching mind And soothed the wanderings of my troubled brain Sometimes I think I'll never find Such purity and peace of mind again...
A Portata Di Mano Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Pasquale Panella Performer(s): Lucio Battisti
Dicendo abbiamo tempo ci giri intorno stemperi e riempi come dire centotre vasetti di liquido con colore diluito che certamente è meno previdente di una conservazione che alimenti tutti i tuoi seguenti spunti di appetito Sono fluidi a vedersi c'è un piacere anche perché qualcosa si nota che manca e se ci fosse è come non avesse nome Abbiamo tutto il tempo E poi il discorso prende una piega architettonica nell'aria con le mani si collega ai pianti rampicanti all'euforia da giardino ai pensili eccitanti All'ornamentale destino E tutto il tempo è vicino a portata di mano sul tavolino, sul ripiano su quanto ti è più caro Ma se cominciassimo che ne dici se entrassimo nel vivo oltre la porta orale saliamo a perpendicolo la scala che nel muro si avvita L'umido della parete nella mano s'asciuga sempre più parete che d'acciughe sale su nella rete in muratura Saliamoli i gradini con le punte e pure sconoscendo se calziamo un'epoca una storia, una leggenda in cui calati, risalendo siamo E l'anta si spalanca Dicendo abbiamo tempo tu intendevi dire il contrario vedevi necessario che quanto vai inventando oggi non te lo ritrovassi sempre vivido tra i piedi tale e quale esatto nel reale con i particolari talmente precisi un domani da non credere che i fatti siano intrisi di te così profondamente così com'è com'è vero avvengano in assenza di qualsiasi sostanza Volevi invece dire prendi il tempo con me un po' interrogativa mentre la mano offriva abbiamo tutto il tempo aroma di caffè

Time goes by... so slowly Time goes by... so slowly Time goes by... so slowly Time goes by... so slowly Time goes by... so slowly Time goes by... so slowly
Every little thing that you say or do I'm hung up I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call Baby night and day I'm fed up I'm tired of waiting on you
Time goes by so slowly for those who wait No time to hesitate Those who run seem to have all the fun I'm caught up I don't know what to do
Time goes by so slowly Time goes by so slowly Time goes by so slowly I don't know what to do

Ring, ring, ring goes the telephone The lights are on but there's no-one home Tick tick tock it's a quarter to two And I'm done I'm hangin' up on you
I can't keep on waiting for you I know that you're still hesitating Don't cry for me 'cause I'll find my way You'll wake up one day But it'll be too late
Every little thing that you say or do I'm hung up I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call Baby night and day I'm fed up I'm tired of waiting on you

El mar, que fue una palabra vacía y sin horizonte hoy es un niño que canta sobre cuarenta prisiones un niño que se despierta como una ola gigante lleva en un puño una perla y un coral rojo en la sangre
A por el mar a por el mar que ya se adivina a por el mar a por el mar, promesa y semilla de libertad a por el mar, a por el mar...
El mar nos está esperando a poco tiempo del sueño sólo es cuestión de unos pasos esos que reprime el miedo vayamos, pues, a abrazarlo como un amante que vuelve de un tiempo que nos robaron ese que nos pertenece
A por el mar a por el mar que ya se adivina a por el mar a por el mar, promesa y semilla de libertad a por el mar, a por el mar...
El mar es más que un paisaje también es un sentimiento es un corazón que late negándose a seguir muerto no rinde más obediencia que la que exigen los vientos no lo sujetan cadenas ni se detiene ante el fuego
A por el mar a por el mar que ya se adivina a por el mar a por el mar, promesa y semilla de libertad a por el mar, a por el mar...
Hung On You Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King; Phil Spector Performer(s): The Righteous Brothers
Girl you got me to fall in love with you Though I'm not free to fall in love with you Oh, baby Why did I have to get so hung on you Tell me Why did I have to get so hung on you
Believe me, baby I didn't plan it this way I thought I'd see you one night and Forget you the next day
You're not the girl that I belong to And even though I know it's wrong to There's a little place where we can go Where we won't run into a soul we know
Whoa, baby, baby Well I wish I could get you out of my heart Then I could also get you out of my life Baby Why did I have to get so hung on you Tell me Why did I have to get so hung on you
Sure I could tell you it's over and then One day I'd call you and beg you to see me again This is a fine mess I got myself in And let me tell you baby, you're not helping You know the changes I'm going through And still you look at me the way you do
Cause you got me to fall in love with you Though I'm not free to fall in love with you Baby, baby Why did I have to get so hung on you I want to know Why did I have to get so hung on you
Humpty's Blues Composer(s): Randy Bachman; Burton Cummings; Jim Kale; Gary Peterson Performer(s): The Guess Who
Woke up late this morning Found out my people gone away from me (Nobody anywhere I looked) Woke up late one morning Found out my people gone away Spinning round in circles Oh how I hate to be alone (Its no good)
Looking all around me Trying to find out where evrybodys gone (Cant find anybody) Looking all around me Trying to find out where the Hell evrybodys gone (Cant find anybody now) Spinning round in circles Oh how I hate to be alone (Cant stand being all alone)
If I could have been a carpenter Could have run around looking for things to fix Way back a long time ago if I could have been a carpenter I could have found a lot of things to fix (Fix em all up now) Didnt end up bein no carpenter And thats why they call me Humpty mix
A Poem On The Underground Wall Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel; Chad Mitchell
The last train is nearly due The underground is closing soon And in the dark deserted station Restless in anticipation A man waits in the shadows
His restless eyes leap and scratch At all that they can touch or catch And hidden deep within his pocket Safe within its silent socket He holds a colored crayon
Now from the tunnel's stony womb The carriage rides to meet the groom And open wide and welcome doors But he hesitates, and then withdraws Deeper in the shadows
And the train is gone suddenly On wheels clicking silently Like a gently tapping litany And he holds his crayon rosary Tighter in his hand
Now from his pocket quick he flashes The crayon on the wall he slashes Deep upon the advertising A single worded poem consisting Of four letters
And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding The poem across the tracks rebounding Shadowed by the exit light His legs take their ascending flight To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night
Humpty Dumpty Heart Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke Performer(s): Bing Crosby; and various other artists
Who's giving that line to you? You think it's divine, do you? You're a crazy Humpty Dumpty heart You're letting a grin kid you You never did win, did you? Just a silly Humpty Dumpty heart Don't mean to criticize, or say I'm wise But if you will just recall, you sat on a garden wall And you know what happened You'll still have a chance won't you? You sure want romance, don't you Hope, you're lucky, Humpty Dumpty heart
Don't mean to criticize, or say I'm wise But if you will just recall, you sat on a garden wall And you know what happened You'll still have a chance won't you? You sure want romance, don't you Hope, you're lucky, Humpty Dumpty heart

Humo Sobre Humo Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
No sé si a estas alturas puedo llamar altura a lo que es abismo de incertidumbres No sé si voy o vuelvo o acaso esté acercándome hacia mí mismo como es costumbre
Y tal vez en el tiempo me consumo y soy humo sobre humo de algún fuego que no fue
No sé si éste es mi sitio si se entiende por sitio el eje invisible de alguna noria Quizá la vida es esto esto de ser incógnita inaccesible contra la historia
Y tal vez en el tiempo me consumo y soy humo sobre humo de algún fuego que no fue
Tener el sentimiento de que sin daño no existe la alegría me desconcierta En fin, frente al futuro esa vieja y desdentada teoría cierro la puerta
Y tal vez en el tiempo me consumo y soy humo sobre humo de algún fuego que no fue
A Place Where We Used To Live Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Mark Knopfler
This empty kitchen's where I'd while away the hours Just next to my old chair You'd usually have some flowers The shelves of books Even the picture hooks Everything is gone But my heart is hanging on
If this old neighbourhood Survived us both alright Don't know that it withstood All the things that took our light You on the stair I can see you there Everything is gone But my heart is hanging on
Once there was a little girl Used to wonder what she would be Went out into the big wide world Now she's just a memory There used to be a little school here Where I learned to write my name But time has been a little cruel here Time has no shame
It's just a place where We used to live It's just a place where We used to live
Now in another town You lead another life And now upstairs and down You're someone else's wife Here in the dust There's not a trace of us Everything is gone But my heart is hanging on
It's just a place where We used to live It's just a place where We used to live
Humo En Los Ojos Composer(s): Agustín Lara Performer(s): Javier Solís; and various other artists
Humo en los ojos cuando te fuiste cuando dijiste llena de angustia ya volveré Humo en los ojos cuando volviste cuando me viste antes que a nadie no sé porqué
Humo en los ojos al encontrarnos al abrazarnos el mismo cielo se estremeció Humo en los ojos, niebla de ausencia que con la magia de tu presencia se disipó
Humo en los ojos al encontrarnos al abrazarnos el mismo cielo se estremeció Humo en los ojos, niebla de ausencia que con la magia de tu presencia se disipó

Like a long lonely stream I keep runnin' towards a dream Movin' on, movin' on Like a branch on a tree I keep reachin' to be free Movin' on, movin' on 'Cause there's a place in the sun Where there's hope for ev'ryone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run There's a place in the sun And before my life is done Got to find me a place in the sun Like an old dusty road I get weary from the load Movin' on, movin' on Like this tired troubled earth I've been rollin' since my birth Movin' on, movin' on There's a place in the sun Where there's hope for ev'ryone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run There's a place in the sun And before my life is done Got to find me a place in the sun You know when times are bad And you're feeling sad I want you to always remember Yes, there's a place in the sun Where there's hope for ev'ryone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run There's a place in the sun Where there's hope for ev'ryone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run There's a place in the sun Where there's hope for ev'ryone...

Il Sole È Di Tutti ((Adapted from: A Place In The Sun (by Stevie Wonder) - 1966)) Composer(s): Bryan Wells - Ron Miller - Giuseppe Cassia Performer(s): Stevie Wonder - 1966 Covered by: Dino - 1967
Tu non passi di qui per non rivedermi ancor ma perchè non lo so
Puoi passare di qui io non ti saluterò se con lui ti vedrò
Ma se il sole lassù è di tutti e tu lo sai e la strada appartiene anche a te non fa niente se tu nel vedermi penserai che non splende più un soleper me
Ti vergogni di me se ti vedo insieme a lui io lo so, io lo so
Ma se il sole lassù è di tutti e non per me scorderò il tuo amor
Ma se il sole lassù è di tutti e tu lo sai che la strada appartiene anche a te
(lo so) no fa niente se tu nel vedermi penserai che non splende più il sole per me
Ma se il sole lassù è di tutti e tu lo sai che la strada appartiene anche a te
no fa niente se tu nel vedermi penserai che non splende più il sole per me
