Troubadour Song Composer(s): Louis Pippa Performer(s): Burl Ives
Do you happen to know of a maiden in need Of a sweetheart? Here's one who is anxious to plead It's a shame that a handsome young fellow like me Should be left while the nightingale sings in the tree It's a shame that a handsome young fellow like me Should be left while the nightingale sings in the tree
In the wood and the meadow, beneath the bright moon Every lad with his lass makes the most of the June The world's gone a-wooing, excepting of me While the nightingale sings to his mate in the tree The world's gone a-wooing, excepting of me While the nightingale sings to his mate in the tree
The time, it is short, there is none I can spare For the nightingale's song will soon die in the air Don't you think, dearest Phyllis, you'd better agree To make love while the nightingale sings in the tree? Don't you think, dearest Phyllis, you'd better agree To make love while the nightingale sings in the tree?
Der Junge Mit Der Mundharmonika Performer(s): Christian Anders
Da war ein Traum, der so alt ist, wie die Welt Und der ihn traeumt, hoert ihm zu, der ihn erzaehlt
Der Junge mit der Mundharmonika singt von dem, was einst geschah in silbernen Traeumen von der Barke mit der glaesernen Fracht die in sternenklarer Nacht Deiner Traurigkeit entflieht
Du hoerst sein Lied und ein Engel steht im Raum Dann weißt du nicht, ist es Wahrheit oder Traum
Der Junge mit der Mundharmonika singt von dem, was einst geschah in silbernen Traeumen von der Barke mit der glaesernen Fracht die in sternenklarer Nacht Deiner Traurigkeit entflieht
Der Junge mit der Mundharmonika singt von dem, was einst geschah in silbernen Traeumen von der Barke mit der glaesernen Fracht die in sternenklarer Nacht Deiner Traurigkeit entflieht
Ladytron Composer(s): Bryan Ferry First release by: Roxy Music - 1972

While you sit and seek a crescent moon is laying At your feet With hope that's made of sand It don't think you can But you have held it all in your hands
I've been trying hard to keep from needing you But from the start My heart just rolled and flowed I've seen where it goes Still somehow my love for you grows, Lady-0
So on my heels I'll grow wings Gonna ride silver strings But I'll see you in my holiest dreams, Lady-0
(repeat chorus)
I've been trying hard to keep from needing you But from the start My heart just rolled and flowed I've seen where it goes
Still somehow my love for you grows, Lady-O So on my heels I'll grow wings Gonna ride silver strings But I'll see you in my holiest dreams, Lady-O

Ladybug Composer(s): James Stein Performer(s): Captain & Tenille; Anne Murray
Don't disturb the ladybug Sleepin' by the spider's web And if you see a butterfly Don't try to catch it in your net It's taken such a long long time To make this very special place Open up your soul and mind To all it has to say
Be still Take it in awhile Feel the sunshine Warm upon your face You'll feel When it makes you smile Like you're welcome To the human race
Everybody sees a part Of what this life can really be No one sees like you can see When you let your mind be free The wind is blowing through the trees A song that everyone can learn God is playing hide and seek Everywhere you turn
Be still Take it in awhile Feel the sunshine Warm upon your face You'll feel When it makes you smile Like you're welcome To the human race
Donna Maria, Donna Maria Ik weet dat je wacht nog iedere nacht in Santa Lucia Donna Maria, Donna Maria Maar wacht toch niet meer want ik kom niet meer naar Santa Lucia
Huil toch niet, om wat jij nu hebt verloren Huil toch niet, omdat ik ben weggegaan Er kwam een ander, dus ik verander nu mijn leven Nee huil toch niet, wees blij dat ik ben weggegaan
Donna Maria, Donna Maria Ik weet dat je wacht nog iedere nacht in Santa Lucia Donna Maria, Donna Maria Maar wacht toch niet meer want ik kom niet meer naar Santa Lucia
Huil toch niet, denk eens na je zult begrijpen In m'n hart was voor jou nog slechts venijn Was ik gebleven, ik zou je ongelukkig maken Nee huil toch niet, zo zal het heus veel beter gaan
Donna Maria, Donna Maria Ik weet dat je wacht nog iedere nacht in Santa Lucia Donna Maria, Donna Maria Maar wacht toch niet meer want ik kom niet meer naar Santa Lucia
Donna Maria, Donna Maria Maar wacht toch niet meer, want ik kom niet meer naar Santa Lucia
J'entends Siffler Le Train Composer(s): Jacques Plante; Hedy West Performer(s): Anthony Richard; Franco Battiato
J'ai pensé qu'il valait mieux Nous quitter sans un adieu Je n'aurais pas eu le coeur de te revoir... Mais j'entends siffler le train Mais j'entends siffler le train Que c'est triste un train qui siffle dans le soir...
Je pouvais t'imaginer, toute seule, abandonnée Sur le quai, dans la cohue des "au revoir" Et j'entends siffler le train Et j'entends siffler le train Que c'est triste un train qui siffle dans le soir...
J'ai failli courir vers toi, j'ai failli crier vers toi C'est à peine si j'ai pu me retenir! Que c'est loin où tu t'en vas Que c'est loin où tu t'en vas Auras-tu jamais le temps de revenir?
J'ai pensé qu'il valait mieux Nous quitter sans un adieu Mais je sens que maintenant tout est fini! Et j'entends siffler ce train Et j'entends siffler ce train J'entendrai siffler ce train toute ma vie...
Lady With The Spinning Head Composer(s): Adam Clayton - Bono - Larry Mullen Jr. - The Edge Performer(s): U2
Here she comes Lady luck again Figure of eight Six and nine again
My lady with the spinning head
Whatever the deal She won't let me down Wherever I go She's always hanging 'round
My lady with the spinning head La la la la la la la la la la la Lady with the spinning head La la la la la la la la la la la Lady with the spinning head
She's been gone But I knew she'd be back She's got the rent She put me in the black
The lady with the spinning head
Took my mind Took away my car Do you dare to ask What I'm talking about
I'm on top When she's around She's my ticket Out of town
La la la la la la la la la la la Lady with the spinning head La la la la la la la la la la la Lady with the spinning head
El Bandolero Stanco Composer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
Performer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
Sarà forse il vento che non l'accarezza più sarà il suo cappello che da un po' non gli sta su sarà quella ruga di ridente nostalgia o la confusione tra la vita e la poesia non assalta treni perché non ne passan mai non rapina banche, perché i soldi sono i suoi vive di tramonti e di calcolati oblii e di commoventi, ripetuti lunghi addii struggenti addii...
El bandolero stanco col cuore infranto stanotte va va, su un cavallo bianco col suo tormento lontano va dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove... dov'è silenzio, dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove...
Ha una collezione insuperabile di taglie molte, tutte vuote già da tempo, le bottiglie dorme sul cavallo che non lo sopporta più e si è fatto un mazzo per la pampa su e giù Ogni notte passa e getta un fiore a qualche porta rosso come il sangue del suo cuore di una volta poi galoppa via fino all'inganno dell'aurora dove qualche gaucho giura di sentirlo ancora cantare ancora...
Ah bandolero stanco stanotte ho pianto pensando a te c'è un po' della mia vita nella tua vita che se ne va dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove... dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove...
Se chiudo gli occhi, dentro gli occhi sei di nuovo quello vero quando sorridevo, quando ti credevo ascoltami, guardami, sta' fermo è ancora vivo questo amore tutto questo amore, tutto il nostro amore e tu lontano non ci vai a morire come una puttana prima del mio cuore al posto del mio cuore non mi lasciare solo in questa notte che non vedo il cielo torna bandolero! torna bandolero! torna bandolero! Dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove... dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove...
Lady With The Lamp Composer(s): Jerry Garcia Performer(s): Country Joe McDonald
I don't mind, please don't misunderstand I know the score of war A soldier's life is give and give And then they ask for more Walking on the picket line Where my comrades fell Holding up the thin-red-line In the shot and shell
The lady with the lamp You know she understands The lady with the lamp She's the soldiers' friend
I don't mind the blistering heat I think I can endure It's freezing cold and I can't feel my feet Well, that's the hell of war I never thought about the big red wound When I saw my comrades fall Now I'm in this cold and lonely room Wondering if I'll live at all
The lady with the lamp You know she understands The lady with the lamp She's the soldiers' friend
First they use us And then they throw us away Only Miss Nightingale Knows the price that we pay The lady with the lamp
Excuse me please, a cup of tea I've such a terrible thirst Would you please come and sit with me I feel it's come to the worst Write my mother that I love her so I can't seem to hold the pen Take this keep-sake and send it home To those I'll never see again
The lady with the lamp You know she understands The lady with the lamp She's the soldiers' friend
She will hold his hand Stay with him to the end You know she understands She's the soldier's friend
Werkeloos Composer(s): Pierre Kartner Performer(s): Jacques Herb
Morgen zouden zij gaan trouwen Samen naar het altaar gaan Morgen zou het jawoord klinken Klokken zouden voor hen slaan Maar 't geluk kon niet lang duren Op z'n werk kreeg hij ontslag Zo heeft hij zijn bruid verloren Omdat hij niet werken mag
Werkeloos, kan toch geen schande zijn Maar brengt veel leed en pijn Voor hen die trouwen gaan Werkeloos, maakt hem een eenzaam man Omdat hij voor dagelijks brood Niet werken kan
Zij nam toen voor hem een ander Hij werd een gebroken mens Omdat hij voor geld wil werken Dat is nog z'n laatste wens Hij is toen uit nood gaan stelen Voor z'n bruid waar hij van houdt Jaren moet hij daar voor boeten Voor die ene kleine fout
Werkeloos, kan toch geen schande zijn Maar brengt veel leed en pijn Voor hen die trouwen gaan Werkeloos, maakt hem een eenzaam man Omdat hij voor dagelijks brood Niet werken kan
Lady Willpower Composer(s): Jerry Fuller Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap

Well there's so much you have to learn And I would gladly teach you if I could only reach you And get your lovin' in return Lady Willpower, it's now or never Give your love to me and I'll shower Your heart with tenderness endlessly Lady Willpower, it's now or never Give your love to me and I'll shower.....

Lady Sunshine Und Mister Moon Performer(s): Conny Froboess
Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon können gar nichts dagegen tun daß sie am Himmel sich niemals trafen denn wenn er aufsteht, dann geht sie schlafen
Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon können gar nichts dagegen tun wenn sie auch träumen von einem Märchen ein Pärchen werden sie nie
Da sind wir beide besser dran, viel besser dran weil mich dein Mund so oft ich will am Tage küssen kann Hier unten ist das Leben schön für dich und mich dein Mund sagt mir so oft ich will: 'Mein Schatz, ich liebe dich!'
Doch Lady, Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon können gar nichts dagegen tun wenn sie auch träumen von einem Märchen ein Pärchen werden sie nie
Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon würden gern was dagegen tun dass sie so einsam dort oben wandern dass sie noch träumen, verliebt vom Andern
Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon können gar nichts dagegen tun wenn sie auch träumen von einem Märchen ein Pärchen werden sie nie Nie! Nie!
Band On The Run
Composer(s): Paul McCartney - Linda McCartney
First release by: Paul McCartney & Wings - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside for ever
Never seeing no one, nice again
Like you, mama
You, mama... you...
If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here
(If I ever get out of here)
Well the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one there
I hope you're having fun
Band on the run; band on the run
And the jailer man, and sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the Band on the run...
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And the bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run
Band on the run...
Well the night was failing
As the desert world began to settle down
In the town they're searching for us everywhere
But the never will be found
Band on the run; band on the run
And the country judge, who held a grudge
Will search for ever more
