We're On Our Way To France Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Irving Berlin; and various other artists
All is ready so just hold steady We'll soon be going to the pier No more waiting or hesitating The time to sail is here Bye-bye mothers and all the others Who'll come to shed a little tear Don't cry Bye-bye Give us a parting cheer
[Refrain:] We're on our way to France There's not a minute to spare That's why For when the Yanks advance You bet we wanna be there Goodbye
Old Hoboken is bent and broken From soldiers marching on her pier While you slumber, a great big number Of soldiers disappear To the millions of brave civilians That we are leaving over here

Adam Composer(s): Richie Havens Performer(s): Richie Havens
In the dawning waking hour He'll lift his head and brush his eyes With gentle strokes That will only blindly mislead him Into the first day of creation Which he only sees in limitation
Now he sits upon his empty bed His heart is warm, his heart is full And he can see But it is impossible for him to retain me For his arms are without form He cannot know the word As his mind cries out absurd
Now he's standing inside the doorway He is afraid but he believes all that he sees On the floor Where everything is merging And pictures he sees are tragic As he begins to believe in magic
Now he lies down in a hole Down in the ground, where it is cold And now he knows Now he realizes his biggest mistake That he never had to grow old That he never had to grow cold and die

We may not have a home to call our own But we're gonna make it, I know we will We may have to fight hardships alone But we're gonna make it, I know we will 'Cause togetherness brings peace of mind We can't stay down all the time I've got your love and you know you got mine So we're gonna make it, I know we will
Our car may be old, our two rooms cold But we're gonna make it, I know we will We may not can spare a roach a crumb But we're gonna make it, I know we will And if I have to carry 'round a sign Sayin' "Help the deaf, the dumb, and the blind" I got your love and you know you got mine So we're gonna make it, I know we will
We're gonna make it (We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it) We're gonna make it, baby (We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it) It might seem hard sometime (We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it) But don't worry, darlin' baby (We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it) We're gonna keep on tryin' (We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

Adagio Composer(s): M. Nobile - V. Buffoli - P. Limiti Performer(s): Mina
Adagio parla piano stasera o gli altri capiranno di noi... balliamo, ma non stringermi ancora nel buio vedo gli occhi di lei...
Adagio, no, non farle capire che il cuore scoppia dentro di noi... non deve cominciare a soffrire se t'amo non è colpa di lei
Amore non guardarmi così non puoi guardarmi oppure non ce la farò... Sul collo il tuo respiro ormai mi fa impazzire ti prego non lo fare, no, o morirò! Morirò
Lontano sento battere l'ora... il mondo è la fuori e lo sai adagio piango adagio stasera nel mondo tu ritorni con lei
Amore non guardarmi così non puoi guardarmi oppure non ce la farò... Sul collo il tuo respiro ormai mi fa impazzire ti prego non lo fare, no, o morirò! Morirò, morirò

Well the milkman's a spy, and the grocer keeps on following me And the woman next door's an undercover for the K.G.B. And the man from the Social Security Keeps on invading my privacy Oh there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease
I've got acute schizophrenia paranoia too Schizophrenia, schizophrenia I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose Acute schizophrenia blues
I'm lost on the river, the river of no return I can't make decisions, I don't know which way I'm gonna turn Even my old dad, lost some of the best friends he ever had Apparently, his was a case of acute schizophrenia too
I got acute schizophrenia paranoia too Schizophrenia, schizophrenia I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose Acute schizophrenia blues
They're watching my house and they're tapping my telephone I can't trust nobody, but I'm much too scared to be on my own And the income tax collector's got his beady eye on me Oh there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease
