At The Place Composer(s): Dave Clark - Lenny Davidson Performer(s): The Dave Clark Five
In the darkness of the city There'll be someone waiting for me tonight Far from all the city noises She'll be waitin' at the place where we always meet
At the place where we can walk and talk together There'll be no one else around but her and me
Very soon I'll be beside her At the place where no one else can be found I will say how much I love her Then we'll kiss at the place where we always meet
At the place where we can walk and talk together There'll be no one else around but her and me
La, la, la, la, da, da, la...
At the place where we can walk and talk together There'll be no one else around but her and me At the place At the place
At The Million Dollar Tango Ball Composer(s): James White
Millionaires gave a tango ball the other night at the Wall Street Hall Hetty Green and old John D. Vanderbilt and Carnegie Millionaires from every town did the tango up and down I know you'd think it funny if you could see them, honey doing things up brown
Fragrant perfume filled the air diamonds shone from everywhere I saw Eva Tanguay there she was singing "I Don't Care" Leaders of society losing all their dignity you ought to see them swaying and hear the music playing on and off the key
At the million dollar tango ball, given by the millionaires at Wall Street Hall John D. Rockefeller sold the tickets by the score Andrew Carnegie was taking tickets at the door Hetty Green was dancing mistress of the floor Vanderbuilt was playing every rag encore with "Too much mustard" oh you doll no one thought of home at all, at the million dollar tango ball

Cammina come un vecchio marinaio non ha più un posto dove andare la terra sotto i piedi non lo aspetta strano modo di ballare sua moglie ha un altro uomo e un'altra donna è proprio un uomo da buttare e nelle tasche gli è rimasta solo un po' di polvere di mare e non può testimoniare Si muove sopra i sassi come un leone invernale ti può parlare ore ed ore della sua quarta guerra mondiale conserva la sua cena dentro un foglio di giornale la sua ragazza "esca dalle lunghe gambe" fa all'amore niente male e non può testimoniare Lui vide il marinaio indiano alzarsi in piedi e barcollare con un coltello nella schiena tra la schiuma e la stella polare e il timoniere di Sciangai tornò tranquillo a pilotare e lui lo vide con l'anello al dito e un altro anello da rubare ma non può testimoniare Dal buio delle notti "Balla Linda" alla paralisi di un porto la luce delle stelle chiare come un rifugio capovolto la sua balena "Dolce Luna" che lo aspetta in alto mare gli ha detto molte volte "Dimmi amore, con chi mi vuoi dimenticare" e non può testimoniare e non può testimoniare E tu mi vieni a dire voglio un figlio su cui potermi regolare con due occhi qualunque e il terzo occhio inconfondibile e speciale che non ti importa niente se non riuscirà a nuotare l'importante è che abbia sulla guancia destra quella mia voglia di mare e mi dici ancora che il mio nome glielo devo proprio dare ma non so testimoniare io non so testimoniare

Enrico se tu ci fossi ancora ci basterebbe un sorriso per un abbraccio di un'ora il mondo cambia ha scelto la bandiera l'unica cosa che resta È un'ingiustizia più vera Qui tutti gridano qui tutti noi siamo diversi ma se li senti parlare sono da sempre gli stessi quante bugie quanti segreti in fondo al mare pensi davvero che un giorno noi li vedremo affiorare oh no, non dirmi no dimmi che quel giorno ci sarà Chiudo gli occhi e penso a te dolce Enrico nel mio cuore accanto a me tu sei vivo chiudo gli occhi e tu ci sei dolce Enrico tu sorridi accanto a me... A San Giovanni stanotte la piazza è vuota ma quanta gente che c'è sotto la grande bandiera e quante bugie quanti segreti in fondo al mare dimmi che un giorno davvero noi li vedremo affiorare oh no, non dirmi no dimmi che quel giorno ci sara Chiudo gli occhi e penso a te dolce Enrico nel mio cuore accanto a me tu sei vivo chiudo gli occhi e tu ci sei dolce Enrico tu sorridi accanto a me...
At The Gate Of The Palace Of Dreams Composer(s): Chas Baer - Johann C. Schmid
From the end of the world you come to me, while stars their vigil keep, when the toil and moil of a dreary day, has wearied me to sleep
Every flower in the far off land of dreams, must vanish with the morn; but you'll blush and bloom in this heart of mine, a rose without a thorn
Then we meet at the gate of the palace of dreams, that opes with a golden key at the edge of the world where the love star beams beams a welcome for you and for me where every breeze is a winged perfume each flower a jewel seems and the light in your eyes that I prize never dies at the gate of the palace of dreams
Dolce Di Giorno
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Mogol
First release by: I Dik Dik - 1966
Dolce di giorno fredda di sera sì tu ogni volta cambi bandiera Ho già deciso che questa è l'ultima volta che esco con te Tu sei come una torta di panna montata tutta contenta di non essere stata mangiata Ho già deciso che questa è l'ultima volta che esco con te io ti ho dato il mio cuore che cosa mi hai dato tu Mi hai fatto solo promesse e niente di più Quando c'è il sole tu parli d'amore poi quando è sera sei una statua di sale Ho già deciso che questa è l'ultima volta che esco con te Ho già deciso che questa è l'ultima volta che esco con te L'ultima volta che esco con te

Doktorn, jag är fast i en vana Ja, ingen kan ana vad jag har det svårt Ni hypnotiserar folk mot laster Det sa min faster som pimplade port Nu måste jag få en tid
Åh snälla Doktorn, mmm Doktorn Hjärtat slår, kan inte gå i trappor en gång Doktorn, mmm Doktorn Kanske det har gått för långt Åh Doktorn!
Har försökt dra ner konsumtionen Men situationen har blivit prekär Förr i världen räkte ett i veckan Nu blir det minst två om dan ungefär Jag är nog ett hopplöst fall
Men snälla Doktorn, mmm Doktorn Har försökt med snask men jag blev tjock som en gris Doktorn, mmm Doktorn Snälla hjälp mig på nåt vis Åh Doktorn!
Ständigt så vaknar begäret igen Och då måste jag bara ha Men när jag darrande tänt ännu en Känns det bra, mmm
Hundratals har slutat att röka Som fått försöka på Doktorns klinik Mitt begär är inte cigaretter Och inte tabletter, jag är nog unik Men gör ett försök ändå
Jag ber Er, Doktorn, mmm Doktorn Ta Er an mitt fall så jag kan hoppas igen Doktorn, mmm Doktorn Snälla vänj mig av med män Åh Doktorn!
At The First Fall Of Snow Composer(s): Lorene Rose Performer(s): Molly O'Day & the Cumberland Mountain Folks and multiple other artists
I talked with a stranger so sad and forlorn His garments were wrinkled, all tattered and town He told me a story of sorrow and woe His heart went to Heaven at the first fall of snow
He spoke of his angel, a dear baby girl He loved every footstep, he loved every curl But she went to Heaven just one year ago The angels came for her at the first fall of snow
He still had the dolly that she used to love He held and caressed it and gazed up above He whispered, "My darlin', you're waiting I know I'll bring you your dolly at the first fall of snow"
And there as I listened, my eyes filled with tears I knew she was part of his happier years His frail body trembled, he spoke soft and low "I'll be with my darlin' at the first fall of snow"
I just couldn't tell him how I'd felt inside I patted his shoulder, my feelings to hide He smiled as we parted, but he didn't know That we lost our darling at the first fall of snow

At The End Of The Day Composer(s): Donald O'Keefe Performer(s): Steve Conway and multiple other artists
At the end of the day just kneel and say Thank you, Lord, for my work and play Ive tried to be good, for I know that I should Thats a prayer for the end of the day
So when the new dawn begins to break Just lift up your eyes, let your heart awake Be ready to meet what the day may send And be ready to greet every man as a friend
Nobody knows what a power you have found So do what you can for the others around Carry them high when they seem to be low As on your way you go
At the end of the day just kneel and say Thank you, Lord, for my work and play Ive tried to be good, for I know that I should Thats my prayer at the end of the day
At the end of the day just kneel and say Thank you, Lord, for my work and play Ive tried to be good, for I know that I should Thats my prayer at the end of the day
Doing What I Can Composer(s): Lindsey Buckingham Performer(s): Lindsey Buckingham
Falcon sits Out on grey rock Slow death shakes The ticking of the tock I go to sleep Things left undone I go to sleep now And fly into the sun Oh, the sun is bright But not too bright to see When the darkness comes You've got to fly into the light And what will be will be Oh, the sun is hot A man is just a man When the darkness comes You're got to do with what you've got I'm doing what I can Laughing in my sleep Dancing on the stone Waiting here for something Something I don't know Deep in the darkness I go to sleep I pray the lord My soul to keep Oh, the sun is bright But too bright to see When the darkness comes You've got to fly into the light And what will be will be Oh, the sun is hot A man is just a man When the darkness comes You're got to do with what you're got I'm doing what I can
At The End Of The Day Composer(s): Sandy Denny First release by: Sandy Denny - 1973
Oh babe you are the one I love You are the one I'm thinking of You know it's still a long long way But I'll be home at the end of the day
I'll sing my songs just for you And I'll bring my love home to you I can hardly wait to see your face again But I'll be home at the end of the day
Just miles and miles of rosy sky I'll fall asleep by and by I'm crying now 'cos you're so far away But I'll be home at the end of the day
Oh babe you are the one I love You are the one I'm thinking of So many words I need to say You'll hear them all at the end of the day But I'll be home at the end of the day
Doing The Best For You
Composer(s): Dave Davies
Performer(s): Dave Davies
You can blame it on the government
The unions
They use you all you life
You can take system and make believe
It will be alright
They've taken the spirit of your life
And given you a machine
No wonder you feel so hard done by
They're doing the best for you
Well that's what they say
I know what you're going through
You travel alone
The journey is long
With only a name
In search of a song
You can blame it on the Catholics
The Jews
The Blacks
And the Whites
You can take any doctrine and surely waste
Another life
Any way that you want it to be
By popular demand
Any way but the way it should be
They're doing the best for you
Well that's what they say
I know what you're going through
You travel alone
The journey is long
With only a name
In search of a home
The world is ruled by science and money
That's all that exists
How much longer must we live and die
For this
They're doing the best for you
Well that's what they say
I know what you're going through
You travel alone
The journey is long
With only a name
In search of a song
Doing the best for you
Doing the best for you
Doing the best for you
You travel alone
The journey is long
From where do you come
To where do you go
