Away From It All
Performer(s): Graham Gouldman



He was born in a very bad part of town
Where the sun never shone
And the people went round with their heads hung low
There was no work to do nowhere to go
And so he was born to lose

Well he got up one morning and he switched on his TV
There was a whole lot of people
One big happy family
And he knew that's the place he had to be
So he got himself up
He brushed himself down
He read some books and he oiled his brain
He started to work and he started to train
And he knew he'd never be the same again
No more were you born to lose

Hey boy what you gonna do
When there ain't no future here for you
You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out
'Cause you know you were born to lose

Now he takes his place as one of the family
All together different colours and lookin' so fine
In the same place and at the same time
'Cause he pulled himself up
And got himself out
He read some books and he oiled his brain
He started to work and he started to train
And he knew he'd never be the same again
No more you were born to lose

Hey boy what you gonna do
When there ain't no future here for you
You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out
'Cause you know you were born to lose

Hey boy ...

Away From Home
Performer(s): Stewart Copeland



I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
Eccentric posing is allowed
And I can play the music loud
I'm gonna abuse my brand new pad
My lousy manners are O.K.
I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
I entertain my rancid date
And she can hang around till late
Oh boy!
Away from home
O-Oh
I got a place of my own
O-Oh
Away from home
O-Oh
I got a place of my own
O-Oh
And I don't have to hide the fumes
So I don't have to clean my room
And I don't have to hide my toys
Won't hide my dealings 
Oh Boy
I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
Not sure exactly 'bout the rent
My weekly pay won't even dent
Won't hide my dealings 
Oh boy Oh Boy!

Avventura A Durango
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Fabrizio De André - Jacques Levy - Massimo Bubola
Performer(s): Fabrizio De André



Peperoncini rossi nel sole cocente
polvere sul viso sul cappello
io e Maddalena all'occidente
abbiamo aperto i nostri occhi oltre il cancello
Ho dato la chitarra al figlio del fornaio
per una pizza ed un fucile
la ricomprerò lungo il sentiero
e suonerò per Maddalena all'imbrunire
Non chiagne Maddalena

Dio ci guarderà
e presto arriveremo a Durango
Strigneme Maddalena

sto deserto finirà
e tu potrai ballare o' fandango

Performer(s): Wilson Pickett
and multiple other artists



Girl, try to remember when we didn't have no shoes 
We stuck together, just me and you 
It took a long time to get what we got today 
Now you wanna give it all up for another guy 

Don't let the green grass fool you 
Don't let it change your mind 

It's gonna be hard for me, baby, to live my life all over 
'Cause baby, you've got the love that I really need 
'Cause if you leave, leave me this way, baby 
You know what? I may not live to see a brand new day 

(repeat): 
Don't let the green grass fool you 
Don't let it change your mind 
It may be greener on the other side 
But right in my arms is where you belong

He'll try to cry

He'll scream out why

A beautiful mind
He's the happiest man

Don't Let The Good Life Pass You By
Composer(s): Sharon Rucker
Performer(s): Ferlin Husky
and multiple other artists



Did you ever lie and listen to the rain fall 
Did you ever own a homemade apple pie
Did you ever watch a child while he was praying
Friend don't let the good life pass you by
Did you ever hold a hand to stop its trembling
Did you ever watch the sun desert the sky
Did you ever hold a woman while she's sleeping
Friend don't let the good life pass you by
Man was made for loving not for buying 
Gold can't give you things we really need
Just look my friend there's happiness in living
Somewhere between broke and being free
Did you ever see the funny side of losin' 
Did you ever sit right down and have a cry
Did you ever take the time to help your neighbor
Just don't let the good life pass you by
Man was made for loving...
Just don't let the good life pass you by

Avrai
Composer(s): Claudio Baglioni
First release by: Claudio Baglioni - 1982



Avrai sorrisi sul tuo viso come ad agosto grilli e stelle
storie fotografate dentro un album rilegato in pelle
tuoni d'aerei supersonici che fanno alzar la testa
e il buio all'alba che si fa d'argento alla finestra
avrai un telefono vicino che vuol dire già aspettare
schiuma di cavalloni pazzi che si inseguono nel mare
e pantaloni bianchi da tirare fuori che è già estate
un treno per l'America senza fermate.

Avrai due lacrime più dolci da seccare
un sole che si uccide e pescatori di telline
e neve di montagne e pioggia di colline
avrai un legnetto di cremino da succhiare
avrai una donna acerba e un giovane dolore
viali di foglie in fiamme ad incendiarti il cuore
avrai una sedia per posarti e ore vuote come uova di cioccolato
ed un amico che ti avrà deluso tradito e ingannato...

Avrai, avrai, avrai il tuo tempo per andar lontano
camminerai dimenticando, ti fermerai sognando...
Avrai, avrai, avrai la stessa mia triste speranza
e sentirai di non avere amato mai abbastanza
se amore, amore avrai...

Avrai parole nuove da cercare quando viene sera
e cento ponti da passare e far suonare la ringhiera
la prima sigaretta che ti fuma in gola un po' di tosse
Natale di agrifoglio e candeline rosse
avrai un lavoro da sudare
mattini fradici di brividi e rugiada
giochi elettronici e sassi per la strada
avrai ricordi ombrelli e chiavi da scordare

Avrai carezze per parlare con i cani
e sarà sempre di domenica domani
e avrai discorsi chiusi dentro e mani che frugano le tasche della vita
ed una radio per sentire che la guerra è finita...

Avrai, avrai, avrai il tuo tempo per andar lontano
camminerai dimenticando, ti fermerai sognando...
Avrai, avrai, avrai la stessa mia triste speranza
e sentirai di non avere amato mai abbastanza
se amore, amore, amore, amore avrai...

Don't Let The Blues Make You Bad
Composer(s): Billy Mize
Performer(s): Dean Martin



Don't let the blues make you bad
It hurts so much to lose, I know you're sad
Now you search for fun you never had
Alright, but don't let the blues make you bad

Don't go too far at the bar
Don't let 'em change what you are
They'll take advantage of the pain
Their world and yours are not the same

Don't let the fools tell you lies
While they hold you close and sympathise
Your kind of pride they never had
Don't let the blues make you bad
Oh, don't let the blues make you bad

Don't Let That Moon Get Away
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Mel Tormé 
and multiple other artists



It’s one of those nights for adventure
We ought to be recklessly gay
Who knows what we’ll find, so if you’re inclined
Don’t let that moon get away

Your eyes have a way of revealing
The thoughts that you really should say
It may be romance, so while there’s a chance
Don’t let that moon get away

And don’t let this meeting adjourn
And don’t be so ready to go
But now is the right time to learn
What every young heart should know

These moments don’t happen so often
It doesn’t seem right to delay
If you feel a tune, whatever you do
Don’t let that moon get away

It’s one of those nights for adventure
We ought to be recklessly gay

Your eyes have a way of revealing
The thoughts that you really should say

And don’t let this meeting adjourn
And don’t be so ready to go
Now is the right time to learn
Look out!

These moments don’t happen so often
I kinda think we shouldn’t delay
If you feel it too, here’s what you do
You better take advice from Torme
And don’t let that moon get away
Don’t you there let that moon get away
Baby, don’t let that moon get away
It’s one of those nights for adventure

Avond 
Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot - Lennaert H. Nijgh
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Nu hoef je nooit je jas meer aan te trekken en te hopen dat je licht het doet
Laat buiten de stormwind nu maar razen in het donker,want binnen is het warm en licht en goed
Hand in hand naar buiten kijken waar de regen valt
Ik zie het vuur van hoop en twijfel in je ogen en ik ken je diepste angst

Want je kunt niets zeker weten en alles gaat voorbij
Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij

En als je 's morgens opstaat ben ik bij je en misschien heb ik al thee gezet
En als de zon schijnt buiten gaan we lopen door de duinen en als het regent gaan we terug in bed
Uren langzaam wakker worden, zwevend door de tijd, ik zie het licht door de gordijnen en ik weet
't Verleden geeft geen zekerheid

Want je kunt niets zeker weten en alles gaat voorbij
Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
Ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij

Ik doe de lichten uit en de kamer wordt nu donker, een straatlantaarn buiten geeft wat licht
En de dingen in de kamer worden vrienden die gaan slapen, de stoelen staan te wachten op 't ontbijt
En morgen word ik wakker met de geur van brood en honing, de glans van 't gouden zonlicht in jouw haar
En de dingen in de kamer, ik zeg ze welterusten, vanavond gaan we slapen en morgen zien we wel

Maar de dingen in de kamer zouden levenloze dingen zijn, zonder jou
En je kunt niets zeker weten, want alles gaat voorbij
Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
Ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij

En je kunt niets zeker weten, want alles gaat voorbij
Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
Ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij

Burn the world, burn the world
Well don't let the army general burn this world
You got to keep on walkin', keep on talkin'

C'est un avion tout blanc, tout blanc
Il s'en va seul dans le vent, le vent
C'est un avion tout blanc, tout blanc
Et toi qui t'en va dedans, dedans
Mais qu'est-ce qu'y a donc entre nous deux
Mais qu'est-ce qu'il y a donc entre toi et moi, et moi
Des kilomètres de ciel bleu
Et des tonnes de nostalgia, déjà, déjà
Et cet avion qui s'en va!
J'comprends pas, tu t'en vas, j'reste là

C'est un avion tout blanc, tout blanc
Et je m'sens bleu tout à coup c'est fou
Faut dire qu'ça fait longtemps, longtemps
Y a comme un guide entre nous et nous
Les mots c'est rien que des mensonges
Il faut jamais croire ce qu'on dit, tant pis, tant pis
Quelque part j'ai le cœur qui plonge
Après tout c'est peut-être la pluie, aussi, aussi
Et cette avion qui s'en va
J'comprends pas, tu t'en vas, j'reste là
C'est un avion tout blanc, tout blanc
Qui s'en va seul dans le vent, le vent
Des mots c'est rien que des mensonges
J'comprends pas
Quelque part j'ai le cœur qui plonge
J'comprends pas
C'est un avion tout blanc, tout blanc
J'comprends pas

Avenues And Alleyways
Composer(s): Peter Callander - Mitch Murray
Performer(s): Tony Christie; G.B.H.



Sleep like a baby
My little lady
Dream till the sunrise
Creeps into your eyes
Dream till the sunrise
Turns on the day.
In the Avenues and Alleyways
While you sleep there's a whole world coming alive
Able and his brother, fighting one another
In and out of every dive
The Avenues and Alleyways
Where the strong and the quick alone can survive
Look around the jungle
See the rough and tumble
Listen to a squealer cry
Then a little later
In the morning paper
Read about the way he died
Wake up my pretty
Go to the city
Stay through the daytime
Safe in the sunshine
Stay till the daytime
Turns into night
In the Avenues and Alleyways
Where a man's gotta work out which side he's on
Any way he chooses
Chances are he loses
No one gets to live too long
The avenues and alleyways
Where the soul of a man is easy to buy
Everybody's wheeling
Everybody's steeling
All the low are living high
Every city's got 'em
Can we ever stop 'em
Some of us are gonna try

Don't Let My Teardrops Bother You
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Edward Holland Jr. - Richard Wylie
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick; The Supremes



If I should shed a tear
It's just the love I'm showing, believe in me
If I should shed my pride
It's just to show how much I love you so
And where you go my love will be there with you
No matter where you are or if you find someone new
Long ago I willed my life to you
And I can't change my heart (Can't change my heart)
Even though (Even though) we'll be apart (We'll be apart)

Don't let my teardrops bother you
The reason I'm crying, I can't believe we're through
Don't let my teardrops bother you
If you must leave me, do what you gotta do

If I should beg and plead
It's just because of love and the need I have for you
If I should start crying one more time
It's just because I'm praying you'll change your mind
And maybe find there's something you're leaving behind
Maybe you'll see where you belong
But if someone has managed to erase me
And she's what you want (If she's what you want)
She's what you want (What you want) to replace me (To replace me)

Don't let my teardrops bother you
The reason I'm crying, I can't believe we're through
Don't let my teardrops bother you
You must leave me, do what you gotta do

Don't let my teardrops bother you
