Chissà cosa mormora il vento stasera col suo lamento dietro la porta laggiù Di già il caminetto s'é spento io chiudo gli occhi e rammento gli amori di gioventù Di voi che resta antichi amori giorni di festa teneri ardori solo una mesta foto ingiallita fra le mie dita Di voi che resta sguardi innocenti lacrime e risa e giuramenti solo sepolto in un cassetto qualche biglietto Sere d'aprile sogni incantati capelli al vento baci rubati che resta dunque di tutto ciò ditemi un pò Rivedo un viso mormoro un nome ma non ricordo quando né come penso a un villaggio dove non so se tornerò Mai più mano con mano nel buio stupiti d'essere due felici senza perché Mai più fiori nascosti nel libro il cui profumo ci inebria ma presto evapora ahimé Di voi che resta antichi amori grandi segreti complici cuori solo nel petto male guarita una ferita Di voi che resta parole audaci carezze caste timide braci solo una cenere che più non fuma ma si consuma Chiari di luna dolci sentieri e tu perduta anima di ieri perché sparisti chi ti rubò dimmelo un pò Solo un motivo risento ancora d'un fuggitivo disco d'allora e a un luogo penso dove non so se tornerò
Knock, Knock, Who's There? Composer(s): John Carter; Stephens First performance by: Mary Hopkin - 1970
Tears of rain run down my window pane I'm on my own again good ev'ning sorrow Sit and dream of how things might have been And as I close my eyes I get the strangest feeling
Climb the stair and then I say a pray'r For someone who could share my situation But instead as I lay down my head
I have to leave it all to my imagination
Refrain:
Knock knock who's there ? Could this be love that's calling The door is always open wide
Knock knock who's there ? Now as the night is falling

I Wish You Could Have Turned My Head (And Left My Heart Alone)
I Wish You Could Have Turned My Head (And Left My Heart Alone) Composer(s): Sonny Throckmorton Performer(s): Oak Ridge Boys; T.G. Sheppard
I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone
The first time I laid eyes on you, got caught up in your sway I thought I didn't have a chance and then you looked my way From the longing to the loving, girl, we've made it all the way But for all the hunger in my eyes, my heart has had to pay
I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone
I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

Mama, take this badge up from me I can't use it any more It's getting dark, too dark to see Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Mama, wipe the blood from my face I'm sick and tired of the war Got that old black feeling and it's out to trace Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door ...
Mama, put my guns in the ground I can't shoot them any more Heaven's old black train is a-pullin' on down Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door

"Pentiti, suddito pentiti, hai fatto tanto hai fatto pure troppo adesso restituisci sto malloppo Cazzo"
L'avevo detto che questo mondo non era perfetto ma qui tra il dare e l'avere i conti non tornano ancora La nostra storia non è soltanto una grande piovra ci vogliono un cuore, due mai e tre palle per vivere ancora E giacca e cravatta nell'azzurro te ne vai oh, è il nuovo che avanza, non lo senti il suo chiamare sei già nella lista del clan di Belzebù tutti all'inferno del fuoco eterno e poi giù, giù, giù, giù giù, giù, giù, giù giù, giù, giù, giù
Buon giorno amore, oh, fuori c'è il sole è bello restarsene ancora abbracciati sotto le lenzuola Fuori c'è Roma, e una domenica di primavera andremo a passeggio per le strade del centro fino a piazza Navona Ma giacca e cravatta da domani te ne andrai oh, è il nuovo che avanza, non lo senti il suo viavai sei già nella lista del clan di Belzebù tutti alla festa, la grande festa ancora più giù, giù, giù, giù giù, giù, giù, giù giù, giù, giù, giù giù, giù, giù, giù

I Wish You Could Be Here Composer(s): Paul Simon; Bruce Woodley Performer(s): The Seekers; The Cyrkle; The Sons of Champlin
Looking from my window On the freshly fallen snow That sparkles as it tumbles Upon the streets below And the crackle of the fire Is laughing in my ear And the room is warm and sleepy Oh, I wish you could be here
Sundays in this town There's not a lot for me to do I've been listening to some records But my thoughts return to you Oh, I try to read the paper But the words aren't very clear And I know there's something missing I wish you could be here
I keep listening for your footsteps Or the key turned in the door I sure could use your company But I've said all that before And the winter's going to last A long time this year I've got lots of empty time to fill And I wish you could be here
Knocking At Your Back Door Composer(s): Ian Gillan; Ritchie Blackmore; Roger Glover Performer(s): Deep Purple
Sweet Lucy was a dancer But none of us would chance her Because she was a samurai She made electric shadows Beyond our fingertips And none of us could reach that high She came on like a teaser I had to touch and please her Enjoy a little paradise The log was in my pocket When Lucy met the rockett She never knew the reason why
I can't deny it With that smile on her face Oh it's not the kill It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming It's knocking at the door You know it's no good running It's not against the law The point of no return An' now you know the score An' now you're learning Aha, what's knockin' at your back door
Sweet Nancy was so fancy To get into her pantry We had to be the aristocracy The members that she toyed with At her city club Were something in diplomacy So we put her on the hit list Of a common cunning linguist A master of many tongues And now she eases gently From her Austin to her Bentley Suddenly she feels so young
I can't deny it With that smile on her face Oh it's not the kill It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming It's knocking at the door You know it's no good running No it's not against the law The point of no return Now you know the score An' now you're learning Aha, what's knockin' at your back door
Sweet Lucy was a dancer But none of us would chance her Because she was a samurai She made electric shadows Beyond our fingertips And one of us could reach that high
I can't deny it With that smile on my face Oh it's not the kill It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming, knocking at the door You know it's no good running Now it's knockin' at your door Aha, knockin' at your back door

Knocking Nails Into My House Composer(s): Jeff Lynne Performer(s): Ambrose Slade; The Idle Race
This house is mine but the men they say it's not You see this house is the only place I've got Running round they work so hard and fast But they don't know my house is built to last
Chorus Here comes a man, in a van He's looking very angry at me
They're knocking nails into walls, hoho, my walls They run and hide as the only ceiling falls Glee for leave they gather in my shed They gone for now so I can ease my head
They're knocking nails into my house They're knocking nails into my house They work so hard, all it's left is my sunroof There goes a wall, oh I think I spoke too soon
They're knocking nails into my house They're knocking nails into my house They're knocking nails into my house Look out!
Epifánico silencio a la hora del amar tus ensueños ya se hicieron a la mar un extracto del perfume del dolor tus muñecas boca arriba y hacia el sol tus regalos deberían de llegar los elefantas locos, el vestido, el ajuar caminando en la neblina que disipa el corazón los milagros en tu cuerpo ya serán las violetas de tu sangre vivirán sobre un río enamorado y en su andar
Tus regalos deberían de llegar las velas, las vajillas y tu felicidad y no sabes si detenerte o llover y parada sobre el mundo a tus pies tu sonrisa que nos hace pensar tiembla el mundo que no entiende al final ese beso de la vida la sutil melancolía el momento cuando piras los espacios donde miras y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran y otra vez en la secuencia de los pétalos que caen se descubren los misterios del azar y las manos que se encuentran en la flor la bestial naturaleza del amor tus regalos deberían de llegar si todo se termina todo vuelve a empezar la mañana que se viene es una vieja sensación que refleja los espejos del tiempo y la niña acurrucada en el rincón es la chica contra la furia de Dios tus regalos deberían de llegar no es mucho lo que tengo para darte, mira
Y no sabes si detenerte o llover y parada sobre el mundo a tus pies tu sonrisa que nos hace temblar tiembla el mundo que no entiende al final ese beso de la vida la sutil melancolía el momento cuando piras los espacios donde miras y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran y tus regalos deberían de llegar y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran

Hmmm Sunshine, blue skies, please go away My girl has found another and gone away With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom So day after day, I stayed locked up in my room I know to you it might sound strange But I wish it would rain (How I wish that it would rain) Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause so badly I wanna go outside (Such a lovely day) But everyone knows that a man ain't suppose to cry, listen I gotta cry 'cause cryin' eases the pain, oh yeah People this hurt I feel inside, words can never explain I just wish it would rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Oh, let it rain Rain, rain, rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain) Ooo, baby Let it rain. (Let it rain) Oh yeah, let it rain
Day in, day out, my tear stained face Pressed against the window pane My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain 'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops And no one will ever know That I'm cryin'... cryin' when I go outside To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain Oh, I wish it would rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain) Ooo, baby
Let it rain, let it rain I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes Oh, let it rain Oh, yeah, yeah listen I'm a man and I got my pride Give me rain or I'm gonna stay inside Let it rain
(Let it rain) (Let it (rain) (rain) (rain) rain, rain)
Knocking 'Round The Zoo Composer(s): James Taylor Performer(s): James Taylor
Just knocking around the zoo on a Thursday afternoon There's bars on all the windows and they're counting up the spoons And if I'm feeling edgy there's a chick who's paid to be my slave But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks I'm trying to misbehave
Now the keeper's trying to cool me says I'm bound to be alright But I know that he can't fool me 'cause I'm putting him uptight And I can feel him getting edgy every time I make a sudden move And I can hear them celebrating every time I up and leave the room
Now my friends all came to see me they point at me and stare Said he's just like the rest of us so what's he doing in there They hide in their movie theaters drinking juice-keeping tight 'Cause they're certain about one thing that zoo's no place to spend the night
Just knocking around the zoo on a Thursday afternoon There's bars on all the windows and they're counting up the spoons And if I'm feeling edgy there's a chick who's paid to be my slave But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks I'm trying to misbehave

Knock-Kneed Napua Composer(s): Prince Kawohi; Steve Graham Performer(s): Prince Kawohi
They call her knock-kneed Napua from Kailua She's the talk of Lanikai When she does the hula over in Kailua You can hear them cheer in Molokai
She dances on the sands And her hula hands just seem to say Hold on to your kane and don't let him go Or I might steal him away
So one day knock-kneed Napua from Kailua Took a trip to Waikiki Television beckoned, "This is it," she reckoned, "Here's my chance to dance on TV"
She shook and rolled her eyes Then they realized their big mistake She ami'd here and she ami'd there Ev'ry camera quivered and quaked
So they said "knock-kneed Napua from Kailua Go back to dear old Lanikai Then you can do your hula over in Kailua" Underneath the blue Hawaiian sky Underneath the blue Hawaiian sky
