Affida Una Lacrima Al Vento ((French & German Versions: Une Larme Aux Nuages (by Salvatore Adamo); Es Geht Eine Träne Auf Reisen (by Salvatore Adamo)) Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Affida una lacrima al vento e fa che la porti da me il vento mi ha detto stai attento la tua bella non pensa più a te
Affida una lacrima al vento e nel cielo per me brillerà e com'una pioggia d'argento il tuo amore mi riporterà
Il vento non mi vuol più parlar di te piange però non mi vuol dir perché ma indovino tristi cose scritte con le spine delle rose
Affida una lacrima al vento vedrai che di gioia ballerà da te volerà in un momento dei miei baci ti coprirà
Affida una lacrima al vento e nel deserto un fiore spunterà sarà un miraggio lo sento ma sarà bello e ci credo già
Affida una lacrima al vento e fa che la porti da me il vento mi ha detto stai attento la tua bella non pensa più a te la tua bella non pensa più a te la tua bella non pensa più a te
What Does He Look Like Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Frances Langford
Johnny Doughboy overseas filled with pride and joy
Stopping everyone he meets and shouting "It's a boy"
What does he look like, that boy of mine?
Since the news came I can't get him off my mind
Does he resemble his homely dad?
Does he look like the girl that I left behind?
Bring on the Germans
And bring on the Japs
Bring on the first who you can find
One for the rascal I haven't seen
And one for the girl that I left behind
Affair On 8th Avenue Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot; The Brothers Four
The perfume that she wore was from some little store On the down side of town But it lingered on long after shed gone I remember it well And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night Her long flowing hair came softly undone And it lay all around And she brushed it down as I stood by her side In the warmth of her love
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin And then we played a game only she could win And she told me a riddle Ill never forget Then left with the answer Ive never found yet
How long, said she, can a moment like this Belong to someone Whats wrong, what is right, when to live or to die We must almost be born So if you should ask me what secrets I hide Im only your lover, dont make me decide
The perfume that she wore was from some little store On the down side of town But it lingered on long after shed gone I remember it well
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin And then we played a game only she could win And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night
What Does A Woman See In A Man? Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): Jimmy Webb
He stinks to high heaven, half covered with hair And grunts just like some old orang-utan While she smells of clean skin and a trace of jasmine And speaks like a first rate librarian
His stomach hangs out, there's a hump on his back He eats like Conan the Barbarian While she keeps herself trim, and her posture is prim Her manners are quite cosmopolitan
He laughs like a donkey and farts in the bed And flips cigarettes in the can But she always acts nice, with no visible vice Tell me, what does a woman see in a man?
He hangs out in bars and he tells stupid jokes And seems to think he's a comedian But she's clever, polite, stays sober all night And sips on her one Presbyterian
He drives a gas hog like Attila the Hun And woe to the luckless pedestrian While she prefers bikes and bird-watching hikes And sailing and riding equestrian
He has a name like Duane or Leroy Hers is Vanessa or Anne Hers sounds like a song But Duane is all wrong Tell me, what does a woman see in a man?
Doesn't she know that she's unique Doesn't she know that he's just a freak -- of nature Overbearing, insecure, wanting love but so unsure Loving her because she's pure
And yet, dreaming of orgies in Vegas or Cannes He preens and strikes poses Olympian While she shoulders the cross And lets him play boss His nurse and long-suffering Samaritan
He brags about knocking the world on its ass But oh, when the shit hits the fan She'll bail him out, she's the one with the clout Only she knows how humankind ever began
What does a woman see in a man? What does a woman see in a man?
Affair Of The Heart Composer(s): Rick Springfield - Blaise Tosti - Danny Tate Performer(s): Rick Springfield
Heart in my mouth pluse in my head Mercury rising into the red The smell of your skin can light up all the fire in me
I'm hungry to touch I'm eager to please Out of control and I hand you the keys Every night I am burning to make love to you
But don't try to tell me you think it's all physical It goes much deeper than that
You ought to know it's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart Have a little blind faith believe It's an affair of the heart
When we make love it's a passionate thing You shudder and shake sink your teeth in my skin I almost believe you were made to be played by my hands
And you got the power it amazes me still How you play my emotions with consummate skill I don't have to look any further than into your eyes
So don't try to tell me you think it's just physical It goes way deeper than that
You better know it's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart Have a little blind faith believe It's an affair of the heart
Don't try to tell me you think it's all physical It goes much deeper than that
You ought to know it's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart You better know it's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart You better know it's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart Baby an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart

What do you want with me Oh baby I can't see You only wanna break us up And use me for a time Then you'll leave me cryin' I've heard it all before Your other boys have told me What do you want with me
A love like ours Is somethin' else again She's lovin', she's true Let me tell you she's not a bit like you And I'm askin' you a question
What do you want with me Why don't you let me be I know it would be easy To fool around with you But you should know by now I've promised to be true I love her, can't you see What do you want with me
A love like ours Is somethin' else again She's lovin', she's true Let me tell you she's not a bit like you And I'm askin' you a question

Marilou se fait des aéroplanes En repliant des dépliants d'agences de voyages genre Cook Où l'on peut voir des pin-up à gros seins new-look Sur fond d'azur de Louisiane Elle est marrante c'est une fan Du cap'tain Cook Elle a sur lui tout un press-book Aussi sur Tarzan dont elle est folle comme Jane Je la vois assez l'enlacer et lui de liane en liane Pousser son cri en volapük Du coté de Pamanbuk Et moi Chita le singe qui leur cavale au cul dans la savane
Pauvre idiote tu rêves tu planes Me traite de fauché de plouc De minable d'abominable bouc Qu'importe injures un jour se dissiperont comme volute Gitane

Algo te dice ven a éste tiempo nuevo siempre surge una antigua forma de mirar Un ritmo que te empuje hasta vibrar unido a éste hermoso planeta que como tú respira
Con maestros y sin líderes aerolitos como aerolitos libres Por el espacio sin límites aerolitos como aerolitos libres
Canto a la gente que se siente cerca Conozco triunfadores que se saben perdidos Aprendo del humilde que sin quererlo habla con la sabiduría antigua de las cosas
Con maestros y sin líderes aerolitos como aerolitos libres Por el espacio sin límites aerolitos como aerolitos libres
Algo te dice ven a este tiempo nuevo Son falsas todas las encrucijadas El mundo cada día llama recién nacido y te busca a través de la luz y el sentimiento
Con maestros y sin líderes aerolitos como aerolitos libres Por el espacio sin límites aerolitos como aerolitos libres

What Do You Mean By Loving Someone Else (When Your Love Belongs To Me)
What Do You Mean By Loving Someone Else (When Your Love Belongs To Me) Composer(s): Sidney D. Mitchell; Archie Gottler
I've been worried all day long 'Cause I know there's something wrong Tho' I've tried hard to smile I have known all the while You're not as true as I've been to you But before I let you go Here's one thing I'd like to know
Every time I look at you I don't know just what to do I can tell by your eyes are telling me lies you'll go away and leave me someday But before we say farewell There's a thing you'll have to tell
What do you mean by loving somebody else When your love belongs to me? I found you when your kisses didn't have the taste But now they've got the flavor, must they go to waste? What do you mean by teaching somebody else All the things you learned from me? Just because I taught you how to roll your eyes You don't have to run around and advertise What do you mean by loving somebody else When your love belongs to me?
Aeneas Nu Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Er was geen eind en geen begin, toen Aeneas werd geboren En nu ik aan 't zoeken ben, slaan de klokken in de toren Het verhaal, voor wie 't wil horen, van een eindeloze reis
Een man veegt scherven bij elkaar en metselt zerken in de grond Ik wandel door dit doodsgevaar, omdat ons huis hier vroeger stond Maar ik ben vreemd en ongezond op een eindeloze reis
Ik kom misschien aan een station, door schele bedelaars verwacht De laatste trein ontmoet de zon, de avond valt angstwekkend zacht En ik ben vreemd en zonder kracht op een eindeloze reis
En als ik vraag waar ik nu ben, staren mensen achter kragen Daar bestraat ver weg van hen, niemand antwoordt op mijn vragen Want ik ben vreemd en al vele dagen op een eindeloze reis
En als iemand mij verwacht, kom ik terug en dan zal blijken Het was nooit zoals ik dacht en het zal er nooit op lijken Het is vreemd om neer te strijken na een eindeloze reis
What Do People Do Composer(s): Jim Croce; Ingrid Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce
Tell me, what do people do When there ain't nothin' to do? When there's nobody else around to do Nothin' with or to Have you ever been in that position in a small town motel room Where the diners all close at nine And the trucks keep a rollin' by And you just can't get to sleep Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
Tell me what do people say When there ain't nothin' to say? When there's nobody else around to help you pass the time of day Have you ever stared at the ceiling Till you thought you'd lose your mind Looked for a wall that you could climb Still you just can't get to sleep Even tho' there's nothin' on your mind?
Have you ever been stuck in a small town motel Lookin' all around but there ain't nothin' to see In a never endin' mind bendin', troublin' position Sayin' why did it happen to me?
Tell me, what do people do When there ain't nothin' to do? When there's nobody else around to do Nothin' with or to Have you ever been in that position in a small town motel room Where the diners all close at nine And the trucks keep a rollin' by And you just can't get to sleep Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
Tell me, what do people do When there ain't nothin' to do? When there's nobody else around to do Nothin' with or to Hope you never in that position in a small town motel room Where the diners all close at nine And the trucks keep a rollin' by Till you just can't get to sleep Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
Adventures In Paradise Composer(s): Minnie Riperton - Richard Rudolph - Joe Sample Performer(s): Minnie Riperton; Tuck & Patti
I believe any dream that I want to That ain't the only way of keeping hope alive And if by chance I give birth to my visions Life is so fantastic it will come as no surprise 'Cause everyday is adventures in paradise Woven well through the fabrics of time

It is real if it's only in your mind In your mind Step this way for another Adventure in P a r a d i s e
Adult Education Composer(s): Sara Allen - Daryl Hall - John Oates Performer(s): Hall & Oates; David Ruffin
Afternoon in the homeroom They're about to let you go And the locker slams On the plan you had tonight You've been messin around with a boyfriend Maybe better left alone There's a wise guy that you know Could put you right In the lot the boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart Cause it's only lonely spots He shares with you And long halls and the gray walls Are gonna split apart Believe it or not There's life after high school
And that's why the student body got A bad reputation oh yeah, oh yeah What they need is adult education Back to school it's a bad situation Oh yeah, oh yeah But what you want is an adult education
The teacher don't know about how To deal with the student body huh, huh And the underclassmen are Flashing hot and cool huh huh All your girlfriends care about Watch and wear and talkin about it huh huh Believe it or not There's life after high school
And that's why the student body got A bad reputation oh yeah, oh yeah What they need is adult education Back to school it's a bad situation Oh yeah, oh yeah But what you want is an adult education
They're calling it preparation You're waiting for a separation You're nothing but another odd number Memories that you won't remember So you got a little education And a lot of dedication But you want a little night school Maybe some of it'll rub off on you The boys are busy in the mirrors Trying to imitate their heroes You make it with a false surrender More memories you won't remember The senior with the Junior Miss I wonder what the junior wishes That she could graduate to adult That she could graduate to adult kisses
Adult education Adult education Adult education It's a bad situation Adult education

What Could Be Nicer (Mum The Kettle's Boiling) Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Mum, the kettle's boiling Daddy what's the time Sis, look what you're doing Can't you see the baby's crying Tell your Uncle Tony Helen wants to know Did he get the letter That she sent a week ago All in all what could be nicer Than two people young at heart Looking forward to the future That together they will start When you think of all those people Who are left out in the cold All because they never dreamed That they'd be written off as old Mum, the kettle's boiling Dad, 'ere what's the time Sis, look what you're doing Can't you see the baby's crying Can't you see the baby's crying
