Day After Day (It's Slippin' Away) Composer(s): Tommy Reynolds; Stuart Margolin; Jerry Riopelle Performer(s): Shango
Day after day, more people come to L.A. Ssh! Don't you tell anybody the whole place is slipping away Where can we go when there's no San Francisco? Ssh! Better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho
Do you know the swim? You better learn quick, Jim Those who don't know how to swim, better sing the hymn Tuna at the bowl. Fine fillet o' much soul Whoo! Whoo! What can we do with a bushel of wet gold?

Angelina/Zooma Zooma Composer(s): Pablo Citorello - Doris Fisher - Louis Prima - Allan Roberts Performer(s): Louis Prima
I eat antipasta twice just because she is so nice Angelina Angelina the waitress at the pizzeria
I eat zuppa and minestrone just to be with her alone Angelina Angelina the waitress at the pizzeria
Ti voglio bene Angelina I adore you Ti voglio bene Angelina I live for you E un passione You have set my heart on fire But Angelina never listens to my song
I eat antipasta twice just because she is so nice Angelina Angelina the waitress at the pizzeria
If she'll be a my cara mia then I'll join in matrimony with a girl who serves spumoni and Angelina will be mine

I Can Hear Your Heartbeat Composer(s): Chris Rea Performer(s): Chris Rea; Paul Cotton; Seppo Valjakka
In the silence of the side street In the whisper of the night From the darkness of the empty hours To the early morning light From the hustle down on main street With all it's lights so bright To the trucker on the highway Pressing through the night
I can hear your heartbeat I can hear your heartbeat Girl, the sound of you is so sweet To me
And I'm sailing on your wind song Oh, I can feel the summer breeze You've got me walking on my tiptoes You've got me standing on my knees From the mills way down in Pittsburgh To the clubs of gay Paris Ah, no matter where I roam, girl You can always get to me
I can hear your heartbeat I can hear your heartbeat Girl, the sound of you is so sweet To me
We got freezing Coca-Cola We got anything you want I moving on that back beat Girl, but it's you that sings the song
'Cos I can hear your heartbeat I can hear your heartbeat The sound of you is so sweet To me
Oh I still hear your heartbeat Yea I still hear your heartbeat Girl, the sound of you is so sweet To me
Dawn's Highway Composer(s): Jim Morrison Performer(s): The Doors
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind
Me and my -ah- mother and father - and a grandmother and a grandfather - were driving through the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian workers had either hit another car, or just - I don't know what happened - but there were Indians scattered all over the highway, bleeding to death
So the car pulls up and stops That was the first time I tasted fear I musta' been about four - like a child is like a flower his head is just floating in the breeze, man The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking back is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead Indians... maybe one or two of 'em...were just running around freaking out and just leaped into my soul And they're still in there
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind
Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice Blood in my love in the terrible summer Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.
Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers Blood will be born in the birth if a nation Blood is the rose of mysterious union Blood on the rise, it's following me
Indian, Indian what did you die for? Indian says, nothing at all
Angelina Composer(s): Knut Koppang Performer(s): Ray Charles
Angelina, why did you have to go It's hard enough alone, well you should know The scars you never showed me Your eyes that turned away Angelina, to God for you I prayed
Angelina, I often heard you weep At times I'd stay awake and watch you sleep Your innocence would move me At times you've made me scared Angelina, my love for you I cared
Angelina, in silence you would speak A simple touch of you and I grew weak You finally let me hold you The day before you died Angelina, my angel in the sky
You finally let me hold you The day before you died Angelina, my angel in the sky
Dawning Composer(s): Mark Barkan; Tony Powers Performer(s): Jay & The Americans
I woke up this morning, the sun's shining brightly And loving each leaf on each tree Remembering the way that your lips touched mine lightly Yes, your love is dawning on me Wo oh ah oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh Yes, your love is dawning on me
Flowers are bloomin', the robin is singing, And my heart is in harmony The sweet things you said have all to my head Oh yes, your love is dawning on me Wo oh ah oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh Yes, your love is dawning on me
Perfume and roses and blue skies and laughter The world is a great place to be What used to be sadness has turned into gladness Yes, your love is dawning on me Wo oh ah oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh Yes, your love is dawning on me
We were children who played On the backstreets of border towns And we dreamed of the day when we might run away To where the good life was found I remember the night When I asked you to be my girl Now I feel so ashamed of the promise I made When I said I would give you the world
My Angelina, when I look in your eyes I believe I could change the world With you by my side My Angelina, give me courage to try I believe in the man I see In my Angelina`s eyes
Seems like nothin` worked out Quite the way it was planned to be Oh, the dreams that we chased when we came to this place Are like nightmares to me Workin` day after day In the noise of the factory And the money`s no good but if I say a word Immigration will take me away
My Angelina, when I look in your eyes I believe I could change the world With you by my side My Angelina, give me courage to try I believe in the man I see In my Angelina`s eyes
If I hadn`t been drunk I would never have hit that man But the whiskey and I saw the look in his eye When he asked Angelina to dance Now they`re takin` me south To a jail down in border town But it won`t be for long, Angelina, be strong Keep believin` our dreams will work out
My Angelina, when I look in your eyes I believe I could change the world With you by my side My Angelina, give me courage to try I believe in the man I see In my Angelina`s eyes
My Angelina, when I look in your eyes I believe I could change the world With you by my side My Angelina, give me courage to try

Chanson des fleurs: Angélica sérénade! Le vent qui court, au fond des bois Chante pour moi, oh, mon amour Angélica sérénade

Pretty as a midsummers morn, they call her Dawn
Dawn, go away I'm no good for you Oh, Dawn, stay with him he'll be good to you Hang on, Hang on to him

David's Song Composer(s): David Paich Performer(s): Cher
Won'tcha let me rock and roll you baby I haven't seen you in a long, long time I haven't fooled around with any candles lately Just thought you might have some music in mind
Chorus: Ah I just want to serenade you Maybe we could even live a verse or two And I could finish this ole love song So I could start singing it to you I could start singing it to you If I could finish this ole love song And I could start singing it to you
Won't you come and boogie-woogie with me baby It's been a while since I held you close to me I haven't met many boys like you baby Knew I would find you eventually
If It Feels Good Do It Composer(s): Jerry Chesnut Performer(s): Dave Dudley
Some folks call me a laughin' boy Some say I'm a clown But till you've tried my way of life Don't ever put it down And if it feels good do it If it hurts just let it lie Now there's no mistery to it Just a better way to look at life
Some folks worry bout growin' old but that don't bother me Old age is one thing I hope that I live long enough to see Forget your disappointments Pretend they wasn't there But when they pass out happiness Be sure you get your share And if it feels good...
One day when I'm old and gray Lookin' back at what I've done I can face the world and say that livin' sure was fun And if it feels good... And if it feels good...
D'autres Filles Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
J'ai tapissé ma chambre de ton plus beau regard J'ai pas peur de décembre car j'ai dans mon placard Un vrai soleil qui brille en souvenirs des beaux jours J'ai connu d'autres filles mais pas un autre amour
Parfois l'idée me hante que tu me mènes en bateau Mais qu'il pleuve ou qu'il vente je te cherche au fil de l'eau Je traîne ma mélancolie comme un marin de port en port J'ai connu d'autres filles mais je t'attends encore
Oh t'es partie sans laisser d'adresse oh t'as même pas signé ta photo Mais y a encore toute ta tendresse qui plane autour de mon piano De toutes mes harmonies tu es la dominante J'ai connu d'autres filles mais c'est toi que je chante
Je suis trop seul le soir j'digère plus mon pain noir Ni le quignon de chagrin qu'je garde pour le matin Mais j'attends trop d'la vie pour lui tenir rancur J'ai connu d'autres filles mais j'attends le bonheur
J'attends que ta valise soit trop lourde à porter J'attends qu'tu réalises que j'suis là pour t'aider Même si tu changes de lit chaque fois que tu changes de banque J'ai connu d'autres filles mais c'est toi qui me manques C'est toi qui me manques

I've traveled in a PT boat and fought for Uncle Sam I've been as close to death as any living man I've traveled in a limousine and I've traveled in a truck I've traveled by myself ma'm but thank you very much I'm the world's worst world's first... Hey I'm the world's worst world's first...
Daughters Of Time Composer(s): Judy Collins Performer(s): Judy Collins
From the beginning of time Like a heartbeat that never can die Like the wind on the sea like the sun on the sand Like a baby's cry We've had a dream in our hearts That gives us the courage to try We must have a song that says we can be strong
We must reach for the sky
We are the daughters of time And the sisters of a new day Born in the labor of love And the promise of tomorrow We are the children of light and we are here today We are here to stay The suns and the daughters of time
We are no longer alone we are no longer afraid
We can reach out with our hands and our hearts
That's how dreams are made Over the water so wide Like a bird that sails on through the sky We know the way to be the best we can be And look life in the eye
We are the daughters of time And the sisters of a new day Born in the labor of love And the promise of tomorrow We are the children of light and we are here today We are here to stay The suns and the daughters of time
Just like the lady in the harbor shining bright Giving her hope in the darkest of the night Just like the lady in the harbor standing tall Now we know we are together one and all
We're on our way to the stars Nothing can turn us away We will survive and our dream is alive of a better day There is a way to find peace Turning away from the past With love for our brothers and sisters on earth We'll have a new world at last
We are the daughters of time And the sisters of a new day Born in the labor of love And the promise of tomorrow We are the children of light and we are here today We are here to stay The suns and the daughters of time

Oh you've got to cry girl Then you'll know how I miss you Well I've grown up girl I've learned how to be a man I've cried tears, felt the pain Have memories when you hurt me But now look at me I still know I can stand Say are you listening girl Do you hear what I'm saying And do you know girl the reason that I walked out Well you're young right now but tomorrow the world may find you So learn from life and find what love's about
Oh you've got to cry girl before you can be a woman And you've gotta hurt girl before you'll understand You need tears and time and sad memories to complete you So I wish you all the heartaches you can stand
Daughter Of The Night Composer(s): Hasse Huss; Mikael Rickfors Performer(s): Santana; Jim Capaldi; Richie Havens; Mikael Rickfors
One way in and one way out You don't know what it's all about You look to the left You look to the right The brightest day and the darkest night
Chorus: And if you see me stealin' away You better believe that I'd much rather stay Daughter of the night Everything right Is getting to you baby Sister of the sun Born on the run Just let me move you baby On the road well I been told The people need a highway code The harder the chase The sweeter the catch I ain't the driver but you met your match
Chorus
You can win and you can lose Listen mama you got to choose You can give up tryin' Or break downi cryin' Or keep on goin' Change your mind
