Astral Weeks Composer(s): Van Morrison First release by: Van Morrison - 1968
If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dream Where immobile steel rims crack And the ditch in the back roads stop Could you find me? Would you kiss-a my eyes? To lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again From the far side of the ocean If I put the wheels in motion And I stand with my arms behind me And I'm pushin' on the door Could you find me? Would you kiss-a my eyes? To lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again There you go Standin' with the look of avarice Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter Showin' pictures on the wall Whisperin' in the hall And pointin' a finger at me There you go, there you go Standin' in the sun darlin' With your arms behind you And your eyes before There you go Takin' good care of your boy Seein' that he's got clean clothes Puttin' on his little red shoes I see you know he's got clean clothes A-puttin' on his little red shoes A-pointin' a finger at me And here I am Standing in your sad arrest Trying to do my very best Lookin' straight at you Comin' through, darlin' Yeah, yeah, yeah If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dreams Where immobile steel rims crack And the ditch in the back roads stop Could you find me Would you kiss-a my eyes Lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again To be born again In another world In another world In another time Got a home on high Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world I'm nothing but a stranger in this world I got a home on high In another land So far away So far away Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven In another time In another place In another time In another place Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven We are goin' up to heaven We are goin' to heaven In another time In another place In another time In another place In another face
Doctor My Eyes
Composer(s): Jackson Browne
First release by: Jackson Browne - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years And the slow parade of fears without crying Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could To see the evil and the good without hiding You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes Tell me what is wrong Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world And as each moment has unfurled I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams People go just where there will I never noticed them until I got this feeling That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes Tell me what you see I hear their cries Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes Cannot see the sky Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry
Close my eyes, leave my body flying high across the universe I come down, strange scenes evolving can this be
I am free unknown syllables, magic carpet ride technicolor landscape where nobody cries then I look around, wondering who am I where is this place, another nightmare no longer in a dream nowhere is reality
I look around, somebody calls me far away, don't just follow me if I die no time will die no one sees you
lost in space unknown syllables, magic carpet ride technicolor landscapes where nobody cries in my dream wandering you and I where is this place another nightmare no longer in a dream
nowhere is reality, nightmare nowhere is reality, nightmare

And the 3rd Angel sounded And a star fell from heaven Burning as it were a lamp And it fell upon the 3rd part of the waters
Asteroid
Im a ball of fire Fire from heaven Terror from nowhere Youll never shoot me down Days turns to minutes 5 seconds till it hits us 3 seconds to ground 1 second to
Asteroid Coming in from the void
On the bed of the ocean Where history lies Strange civilisations Vapourised Days turns to minutes 5 seconds till it hits us 3 seconds to ground 1 second to
Asteroid
I.N.R.I Nature renewed by fire made whole
And I climb to the mountain Light to dark Behind time and space A hole in your Ark Days turns to minutes 5 seconds till it hits us 3 seconds to ground 1 second to

Astérix est là! Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre Astérix est là! Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César
Avé César, t'auras pas d'oscar T'as l'air romantique mais ta Rome est en toc Arrête ton cirque, c'est pas toi qu'on croque Pauvre légionnaire, tu rames c'est la galère
Et pendant qu'à Rome, ils l'ont dans le baba Il n'y a qu'un homme, un gaulois Pour crier "Go home!" aux romains délicats Qui tombent dans les pommes, faut voir ça
Astérix est là! Et il se bat comme un gaulois Astérix est là! Et pour César c'est pas la joie
Astérix est là! Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre Astérix est là! Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César
Avé César, tu cherches la bagarre T'as qu'une idée fixe mais t'oublie Obélix Arrière Satan! Ancien combattant En sandales, en plum, t'as le look qui dégomme
Et pendant qu'ils jouent aux cowboys, aux indiens Ils en prennent des coups, ces Romains C'est fou c'qu'ils sont fous ces playboys italiens Ils en perdent tout leur latin
Astérix est là! Il fait la loi et des dégâts Astérix est là! Et il vaincra de son combat
Astérix est là! Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre Astérix est là! Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César
Avé César, Julius superstar Tu fumes des Gauloises Mais un conseil: écrase! Arrête ton char, joue pas les ringards Un Romain ça va, trois bonjour les dégâts!
Et pendant qu'à Rome, ils l'ont dans le baba Il n'y a qu'un homme, un gaulois Pour crier "Go home!" aux romains délicats Qui tombent dans les pommes, faut voir ça
Astérix est là! Et il se bat comme un gaulois Astérix est là! Et pour César c'est pas la joie
Astérix est là! Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre Astérix est là! Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César
Astérix est là! Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre Astérix est là! Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César
Du gehoerst zu mir Die Ander'n werden sagen: "Laß' ihn geh'n!" Ich weiß mehr von Dir als alle, die Dich glauben zu versteh'n Du gehoerst zu mir Der Tag, der uns trennt, liegt noch weit Ich werd', ich werd' bei Dir bleiben Und die Liebe, die verliert keine Zeit

Ist das so schwer, so schwer zu versteh'n? Kannst Du das Glueck denn nicht seh'n ahaha, das so schoen waer', nicht seh'n?
Du gehoerst zu mir Die Ander'n werden sagen: "Laß' ihn geh'n!" Ich weiß viel mehr von Dir als alle, die Dich glauben zu versteh'n Du gehoerst zu mir Der Tag, der uns trennt, liegt noch weit Ich werd', ich werd' bei Dir bleiben Und die Liebe, die verliert keine Zeit
Assis Sur Le Rebord Du Monde Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Si j'ai bien toute ma mémoire Disait Dieu dans un coin du ciel J'avais commencé une histoire Sur une planète nouvelle, toute bleue Bleue, pour pas qu'on la confonde Je vais aller m'asseoir sur le rebord du monde Voir ce que les hommes en ont fait J'y avais mis des gens de passage Et j'avais mélangé les couleurs Je leur avais appris le partage Ils avaient répété par cur "Toujours" ! tous toujours dans la même ronde Je vais aller m'asseoir sur le rebord du monde Voir ce que les hommes en ont fait Je me souviens d'avoir dit aux hommes Pour chaque fille une colline de fleurs Et puis j'ai planté des arbres à pommes Où tout le monde a mordu de bon cur Et partout, partout des rivières profondes Je vais aller m'asseoir sur le rebord du monde Voir ce que les hommes en ont fait Soudain toute la ville s'arrête Il paraît que les fleuves ont grossi Les enfants s'approchent, s'inquiètent Et demandent "pourquoi tous ces bruits?" Sans doute, Dieu et sa barbe blonde Dieu qui s'est assis sur le rebord du monde Et qui pleure de le voir tel qu'il est! Dieu qui s'est assis sur le rebord du monde Et qui pleure de le voir tel qu'il est
Matthew:
This is the world of Doctor Dolittle
The wonderful world of Doctor Dolittle
Where crocodiles talk
And elephants sing
And animals do most any old thing
Where polar bears wear top hats
And leopards with spots wear spats
Well, that's life in the world of Doctor Dolittle
Doves start to coo when they see Dolittle
He has a profound philosophy
If animals can be friends, says he
Well then, why can't we?
Say "how-d'you-do" to Doctor Dolittle
Life is a zoo to Doctor Dolittle
Where antilopes lope
And ostriches fan
And kangaroos do that kangaroos can
To make the hyenas laugh
As long as a long giraffe
Matthew & Tommy:
Every calf starts to moo when they see Dolittle
Even the few who used to moo little
For all of the birds and beasts agree
He has a profound philosophy
And so why can't we?
Yes, all of the birds and beasts agree
He has a proud philosophy
And so why can't we...
Matthew:
"Do little" things to help them
Both:
Why can't we?
Matthew:
G'night, Tom
sweet dreams!
Tommy & The Animals:
This is the world of Doctor Dolittle
A rare world that people get to view little
Where penguins parade in black cravats
An' sabre-toothed tigers purr like cats
At yaks that relax an' doze
While hippos play dominoes...
Roosters crow from the moment they see Dolittle
They used to... -a-doodle-doo little!
The answer is not too hard to see
If he can bring so much harmony
Well then, why can't we
"Do little" things to help him?
Why... can't... we?

Hello Docteur Jekyll Non je n'suis pas le Docteur Jekyll Hello Docteur Jekyll Mon nom est Hyde, Mister Hyde Docteur Jekyll il avait en lui Un Monsieur Hyde qui était son mauvais génie Mister Hyde n'disait rien Mais en secret n'en pensait pas moins
Hello Docteur Jekyll Je vous dis que je ne suis pas le docteur Jekyll Hello Docteur Jekyll Mon nom est Hyde, Mister Hyde Docteur Jekyll n'a eu dans sa vie Que de petites garc's qui se foutaient de lui Mister Hyde dans son cur Prenait des notes pour le docteur

Hey Docteur, j'ai déjà pas mal De tours au compteur Pas mal d'années derrière J'aimerais faire moins que mon âge Est-ce que tu peux faire un peu de ménage Sur la peau de mon visage? Faut que tu effaces Toutes ces traces Creusées sur ma figure Trempe mon cur dans le ciment Mes cheveux dans la peinture Je ne sortirai plus jamais Sans plusieurs couches de fourrure Ma famille a de l'argent... Docteur Hey Sorcier Pourquoi sommes nous fiers comme des rochers Fragiles comme du verre? Je préfère le silex Ce temps qui passe et moi qui passe avec Je prends ça comme un échec Faut que tu effaces Toutes ces traces Creusées sur ma figure Trempe mon cur dans le ciment Mes cheveux dans la peinture Je ne sortirai plus jamais Sans plusieurs couches de fourrure Ma famille a de l'argent... Docteur On est tous pareil Il est pour moi le soleil On est tous les mêmes C'est moi que j'aime Faut que tu effaces Toutes ces traces Creusées sur ma figure Trempe mon cur dans le ciment Mes cheveux dans la peinture Je ne sortirai plus jamais Sans plusieurs couches de fourrure Ma famille a de l'argent... Docteur J'aimerais faire moins que mon âge Est-ce que tu peux faire un peu de ménage Sur la peau de mon visage? Je préfère les silex Ce temps qui passe et moi qui passe avec Je prends ça comme un échec

Assez de ces Machins pointus De tout c'qui blesse De tout c'qui tue Couteaux, coupe-coupes Et balles perdues Assez de ces Machins pointus... Assez, assez, assez, assez
Assez de ces Machins qui griffent Crampons de foot Bijoux Van Cleef Tonton-macoutes Scouts à canifs Assez de ces Machins qui griffent... Assez, assez, assez, assez
Faut des ronds Faut des courbes Des marchands d'marrons Rue Lecourbe Faut des ballons Des cerceaux Et les seins de Sophie Marceau... Assez, assez, assez, assez
Assez de ces Machins qui piquent Serpents-pythons Et porc-épics Du hérisson Microscopique Assez de ces Machins qui piquent...

Papa says... there are clothes to wash
Sister says... brush your hair
You'll go down... to the laundromat
Maybe your sister is there
Father says... when you're young like this...
Things can seem... pretty bad
Let's get out... and walk by the river
And there are people who roam the Docklands
And there are ships passing in the night
And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed
Gone in the daylight
Sister says... hold your head up high
Life goes on... so don't be afraid
Keep your defenses... but don't shut the loving out
You got to learn to carry that weight
And all the people who roam the Docklands
And all the ships passing through the night
And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed
Gone in the daylight
Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land
And there's a mirror I'm looking through
Lost in the place where I was born
Without a hand to hold on to
Hold on... hold on
Hold on... hold on
In the Docklands where I was born...
People keep moving to and fro
Everybody's pushing... trying to make it happen
I beg of you... I beg of you... I beg of you
I miss you... more than I thought I could
I need you... more than you know
I was there... when they took you away from me
I'll be there... when they let you go
And then the people who roam the Docklands
And all the ships passing in the night
And the thousands of things that I have dreamed
Stay in the daylight
Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land
And there's a mirror I'm looking through
Well bring me back to the place where I was born
Without a hand to hold on to
Give me your hand
Give me your hand... give me your hand
Give me your hand... in the Docklands
I... beg of you... give me your hand
In the Docklands
Beds Are Burning Composer(s): Rob Hirst - Jim Moginie - Peter Garrett First release by: Midnight Oil - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists
Out where the river broke The blood wood and the desert oak Holden wrecks and boiling diesels Steam in forty five degrees
The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share
The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them Let's give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning
The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent, now To pay our share
Four wheels scare the cockatoos From Kintore East to Yuendemu The western desert lives and breathes In forty five degrees
The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them Let's give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning
The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent, now To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them We're gonna give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning
