Across The Alley From The Alamo Composer(s): Joe Greene Performer(s): The Mills Brothers
Across the alley from the Alamo Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo Who sang a sort of Indian "Hi-de-ho" To the people passin' by
The pinto spent his time a-swishin' flies And the Navajo watched the lazy skies And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes On the people passin' by
One day, they went a walkin' along the railroad track They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot! Toot!, they never came back
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo When the summer sun decides to settle low A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho" To the people passing by
Across the alley from the Alamo Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough For the people passing by
They thought that they would make some easy bucks By washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux A pair of very conscientious clucks To the people passin' by
Then they took this cheap vacation, their shoes were polished bright No, they never heard the whistle, Toot! Toot! they're clear out of sight
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo When the starlight beams its tender glow The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough For the people passin' by
One day, they went a walkin' along the railroad track They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot! Toot!, they never came back
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo When the summer sun decides to settle low A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho" To the people passin' by
Across 110th Street Composer(s): J.J. Johnson - Bobby Womack Performer(s): Bobby Womack
I was the third brother of five Doing whatever I had to do to survive I'm not saying what I did was alright Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day fight Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester
Across 110th Street Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak Across 110th Street Pushers won't let the junkie go free Across 110th Street Woman trying to catch a trick on the street Across 110th Street You can find it all in the street
I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now Hey brother, there's a better way out Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man you're copping out Take my advice, it's either live or die You've got to be strong, if you want to survive
The family on the other side of town Would catch hell without a ghetto around In every city you find the same thing going down Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town
Across 110th Street Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak Across 110th Street Pushers won't let the junkie go free Across 110th Street A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ouh baby Across 110th Street You can find it all in the street Yes he can, oh
Look around you, just look around you Look around you, look around you, uh yeah
We'll Gather Lilacs Composer(s): Ivor Novello Performer(s): Ivor Novello; and various other artists
We'll gather lilacs in the spring again And walk together down an English lane Until our hearts have learned to sing again When you come home once more
And in the evening by the firelight's glow You'll hold me close and never let me go Your eyes will tell me all I need to know When you come home once more
We'll gather lilacs in the spring again And walk together down an English lane Until our hearts have learned to sing again When you come home once more
And in the evening by the firelight's glow You'll hold me tight and never let me go Your eyes will tell me all I want to know When you come home once more
When you come home once more When you come home once more
Acres Wild Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Michal Hromek
I'll make love to you in all good places under black mountains in open spaces By deep brown rivers that slither darkly through far marches where the blue hare races
Come with me to the Winged Isle northern father's western child Where the dance of ages is playing still through far marches of acres wild
I'll make love to you in narrow side streets with shuttered windows crumbling chimneys
Come with me to the weary town discos silent under tiles that slide from roof-tops, scatter softly on concrete marches of acres wild
By red bricks pointed with cement fingers Flaking damply from sagging shoulders
Come with me to the Winged Isle northern father's western child Where the dance of ages is playing still through far marches of acres wild
Acres Of Clams Composer(s): Charlie King Performer(s): Pete Seeger
I've wandered all over this country Prospecting and digging for gold I've tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled And I nearly froze in the cold And I nearly froze in the cold And I nearly froze in the cold I've tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled And I nearly froze in the cold
For one who got wealthy by mining I saw many hundreds get poor I made up my mind to go digging For something a little more sure For something a little more sure For something a little more sure I made up my mind to go digging For something a little more sure
I rolled up my grub in my blanket I left all my tools on the ground I started one morning to shank it For the country they call Puget Sound For the country they call Puget Sound For the country they call Puget Sound I started one morning to shank it For the country they call Puget Sound
No longer a slave of ambition I laugh at the world and its shams And I think of my happy condition Surrounded by Acres of Clams Surrounded by Acres of Clams Surrounded by Acres of Clams And I think of my happy condition Surrounded by Acres of Clams
We'll Be Together Again Composer(s): Carl Fischer; Frankie Laine Performer(s): Frankie Laine; and various other artists
Here in a moment of darkness remember the sun has shone Laugh, and the world will laugh with you Cry, and you'll cry alone
No tears, no fears Remember, there's always tomorrow So what if we have to part We'll be together again Your kiss, your smile are memories I'll treasure forever so try thinking with your heart We'll be together again Times when I know you'll be lonesome times when I know you'll be sad don't let temptation surround you don't let the blues make you bad Some day, some way we both have a lifetime before us for parting is not goodbye We'll be together again
Sopra un foglio di carta lo vedi il sole è giallo ma se piove due segni di biro ti danno un ombrello Gli alberi non sono altro che fiaschi di vino girati se ci metti due tipi là sotto saranno ubriachi l' erba è sempre verde e se vedi un punto lontano non ci scappa è il buon Dio o è un gabbiano e va
Verso il mare a volare ed il mare è tutto blu e una nave a navigare ha una vela non di più ma sott'acqua i pesci sanno dove andare dove gli pare non dove vuoi tu
Ed il cielo sta a guardare ed il cielo è sempre blu c'è un aereo lassù in alto e l'aereo scende giù c'è chi a terra lo saluta con la mano va piano piano fuori da un bar, chissà dove va
Sopra un foglio di carta lo vedi chi viaggia in treno sono tre buoni amici che mangiano e parlano piano da un'America all'altra è uno scherzo ci vuole un secondo basta fare un bel cerchio ed ecco che hai tutto il mondo Un ragazzo cammina cammina arriva ad un muro chiude gli occhi un momento e davanti si vede il futuro già
E il futuro è un'astronave che non ha tempo nè pietà va su Marte va dove vuole niente mai sai la fermerà Se ci viene incontro non fa rumore non chiede amore e non ne da
Continuiamo a suonare, lavorare in città noi che abbiamo un pò paura, ma la paura passerà Siamo tutti in ballo siamo sul più bello in un acquerello che scolorirà, che scolorirà
Sopra un foglio di carta lo vedi il sole è giallo ma se piove due segni di biro ti danno un ombrello basta fare un bel cerchio ed ecco che hai tutto il mondo
We'll Be Together Composer(s): Charles O'Curran; Dudley Brooks Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Oh, I will never forget the first night we met T'was love I was searching for My heart beat faster and faster, oh, so much faster Faster than it did before
Juntos estaremos siempre por siempre Junto a mi corazo'n siempre estara's We'll be together, and love forever Nothing can change our destiny
I knew the moment I kissed you, couldn't resist you Together we belong And then I knew in that moment just what this glow meant Real love had come along
We'll be together, ever and ever Close to my heart you'll always be We'll be together, and love forever Nothing can change our destiny
Acqua E Sale Composer(s): Giovanni Donzelli - Vincenzo Leomporro Performer(s): Mina & Adriano Celentano; Audio Two
Semplici e un po' banali io direi quasi prevedibili e sempre uguali sono fatti tutti così gli uomini e l'amore come vedi tanti aggettivi che si incollano su di noi dai che non siamo poi cattivi Tu non sei niente male parli bene e mi sorprendi quando tiri forte la tua moto dal motore che sento truccato e va bene guidi tu che sei brava più di me e io attendo che sia amore, sai Ma io sono con te ogni giorno perché di te ho bisogno non voglio più acqua e sale mi fai bere con un colpo mi trattieni il bicchiere mi fai male puoi godere se mi vedi in un angolo ore ed ore ore piene come un lago che se piove un po' di meno è uno stagno vorrei dire... non conviene... sono io a pagare amore e tutte le pene Vedi divertirsi fa bene sento che mi rido dentro e questo non mi conviene c'è qualcosa che non va non so dirti cosa è la tua moto che sta giù che vorrei guidare io o meglio averti qui vicino a me? Ma io sono con te ogni giorno...
Acqua Azzurra, Acqua Chiara Composer(s): Mogol - Lucio Battisti First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Ogni notte ritornar per cercarla in qualche bar domandare "Ciao che fai?" e poi uscire insieme a lei Ma da quando ci sei tu, tutto questo non c'è più
Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara con le mani posso finalmente bere nei tuoi occhi innocenti posso ancora ritrovare il profumo di un amore puro puro come il tuo amor
Ti telefono se vuoi, non so ancora se c'è lui accidenti che farò quattro amici troverò ma da quando ci sei tu tutto questo non c'è più
Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara con le mani posso finalmente bere Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara...
Son le quattro e mezza ormai non ho voglia di dormir a quest'ora cosa vuoi, mi va bene pure lei ma da quando ci sei tu tutto questo non c'è più

Ack Värmeland du Sköna (Traditional) Performer(s): Stan Getz and multiple other artists
Ack, Värmeland, du sköna, du härliga land du krona bland Svea rikes länder! Och komme jag än mitt i det förlovade land till Värmeland jag ändå återvänder Ja, där vill jag leva, ja, där vill jag dö Om en gång ifrån Värmeland jag tager mig en mö så vet jag att aldrig jag mig ångrar
I Värmeland är lustigt att leva och att bo Det landet jag prisar så gärna Där klappar det hjärtan med heder och med tro Så fasta som bergenas kärna Och var och en svensk uti Svea rikes land Som kommer att gästa vid Klarälvens strand han finner blott bröder och systrar
I Värmeland -- ja, där vill jag bygga och bo med enklaste lycka förnöjder Dess dalar och skog ge mig tystnadens ro och luften är frisk på dess höjder Och forsarna sjunga sin ljuvliga sång vid den vill jag somma så stilla en gång och vila i värmeländska jorden
