I will find a way
To get to you some day
Oh, but I, babe, I'm so afraid I'll fall, yeah
Now can't you hear me call?

Shake some action's what I need
To let me bust out at full speed
I'm sure that's all you need
To make it all right

It's taken me so long
To get where I belong
Oh, but, oh, please don't send me back that way, yeah
For I will make you pay

(refrain)

If you don't dig what I say
Then I will go away
And I won't come back this again 
No
'Cause I don't need a friend

Queen Of The Silver Dollar
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris;
and various other artists



She arrives in all her splendor
Each night at nine o'clock
Her chariot is the crosstown bus
That stops right down the block
Now the old piano minstrel plays her tune as she walks in
And the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again

She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
She rules this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne
Now the jesters flock around her tryin' to win her favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the Silver Dollar home

Now her royal dress is satin
It's shabby and it's torn
The royal jewels are rhinestones
The shoes are scuffed and worn
Of the many roads she's been down
And the places that she's seen
Well they all look at her and say God save the queen

Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar
Is not as haughty as she seems
She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams
But there's a man who found her
And he brought her to this world
He's the one who made a queen of a simple country girl

Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar
I rule this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne
Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the Silver Dollar home

Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar

I rule this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne
Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the Silver Dollar home

Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over)
(French Version: Réveille-Moi - 1971)
Composer(s): Brian Holland; Lamont Dozier; Eddie Holland
First release by: The Four Tops - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



All through this long 
And sleepless night 
I hear my neighbors talkin' 
(She don't love you) 
Sayin' that out of my life 
Into another's arms 
You'll soon be walkin' 

Somebody shake me
Wake me 
When it's over 
(When it's over) 
Somebody tell me 
That I'm dreamin' 
And wake me when it's over 
(When it's over) 

They say our love ain't what it used to be 
And everyone knows but me 
I close my ears, not wanting to hear
But the words are loud and clear 

Through these walls so thin 
I hear my neighbors when 
They say 
(She don't love you, 
She don't love you) 
They say my heart's in danger 
'Cause you're leavin' me 
For the love of a stranger 

Somebody shake me, c'mon 
Wake me, somebody 
When it's over 
(When it's over) 
And tell me 
That I'm dreamin' 
And wake me when it's over 
(When it's over) 

Girl, you're what the heart desires 
My whole world you've inspired 
I can't bear to be losing you 
'Cause I've loved you my whole life through 

Restlessly (Shake me) 
I pace the floor (Wake me) 
Listenin' to my name 
While it's criticized 
What a fool I am 
Not to realize 
You don't want me by your side 

As the tears creep down my face 
I can't believe I've been replaced 
If I've ever, ever dreamed before
Somebody tell me I'm dreaming now 

And then shake me
Wake me, somebody 
When it's over 
(When it's over) 
Somebody tell me 
Tell me that I'm dreamin' 
And wake me when it's over 
(When it's over) 
Come on and shake me
Wake me, somebody 
When it's over 
(When it's over) ...

Queen Of The Slipstream
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison; Da Capo Players; 
Son Seals; Stars at Studio 99; Kevin Welch & The Danes



You're the Queen of the slipstream
With eyes that shine
You have crossed many waters to be here
You have drank of the fountain of innocence
And experienced the long cold wintry years

There's a dream where the contents are visible
Where the poetic champions compose
Will you breathe not a word of this secrecy, and
Will you still be my special rose?

Goin' away far across the sea
But I'll be back for you
Tell you everything I know
Baby everything is true

Will the blush still remain
On your cheeks my love
In the light always seen
In your head?
Gold and sliver they placed
At your feet my dear
But I know you chose me instead

Goin' away far across the sea
But I'll be back for you
Tell you everything I know
Baby everything is true

You're the Queen of the slipstream
I love you so
You have crossed many waters to be here
And you drink at the fountains of innocence
An experience you know very well

Shake It Up
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars



Dance all night play all day
Don't let nothing get in the way
Dance all night keep the beat
Don't you worry 'bout two left feet
Just shake it up
Dance all night get real loose
You don't need no bad excuse
Dance all night with anyone
Don't let nobody pick your fun
Just shake it up
Dance all night go go go
Dance all night get real low
Go all night get real hot
Shake it up with all you've got
Dance all night whirl your hair
Make the night cats stop and stare
Dance all night go to work
Do the move with quirky jerk
Just shake it up

Queixa
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Caetano Veloso; Trio Fattoruso



Um amor assim delicado
Você pega e despreza
Não o devia ter despertado
Ajoelha e não reza
Dessa coisa que mete medo
Pela sua grandeza
Não sou o único culpado
Disso eu tenho certeza
Princesa
Surpresa
Você me arrasou
Nem sente que me envenenou
Senhora e agora
Me diga aonde eu vou
Senhora
Serpente
Princesa

Um amor assim violento
Quando torna-se mágoa
É o avesso de um sentimento
Oceano sem água
Ondas: desejos de vingança
Nessa desnatureza
Batem forte sem esperança
Contra a tua dureza
Princesa
Surpresa
Você me arrasou
Serpente
Nem sente que me envenenou
Senhora e agora
Me diga aonde eu vou
Senhora
Serpente
Princesa

Um amor assim delicado
Nenhum homem daria
Talvez tenha sido o pecado
Apostar na alegria
Você pensa que eu tenho tudo
E vazio me deixa
Mas Deus não quer que eu fique mudo
E eu te grito esta queixa
Princesa
Surpresa
Você me arrasou
Serpente
Nem sente que me envenenou
Senhora e agora
Me diga aonde eu vou
Amiga
Me diga

Quio, nell'oscurità e il chiasso familiare
Del posto più alla moda di tutta la citàà
Noi rimaniamo qui per ore ad ascoltare
Nuovi dischi pop, più forte che si può
Io ti ho incontrata qui dov'eri un personaggio
In mezzo a tutti quelli della nostra età
E torno qui con te come in pellegrinaggio
E ballo insieme a te, tra il sogno e la realtà
Vieni e riscopri con me
Quel che non si fa più
Stai guancia a guancia
E cuore a cuore sì
E stringi più che puoi
Le braccia intorno a me
Stai qui, contro di me
Stai qui vicino a me
Dai, vieni più vicino
Lasciati andare
È bello stare guancia a guancia, no?
Pensare che ballare così
Mi sembrava una cosa da vecchi
Ti dirò, forse non avevano mica torto
Le mode cambiano, l'amore no
C'è tanta gente, lo so
Ma chi la vede più
Facciamo conto che
Il mondo siamo noi
Almeno fino a che
La notte finirà
Stai qui contro di me
Stai qui vicino a me
Star stretti come noi sembra una cosa nuova
Qui, persi tra la folla delle coppie in trance
Che sembran ricordar riti primitivi
Rimasti quali tali migliaia d'anni fa
C'è gente intorno a noi che sta ballando insieme
In questa oscurità che dà ragione a me
Vieni e riscopri con me
Vieni più vicino
Lascia perdere gli altri
È bello star così, no?
Guancia a guancia
Ti ricordi? Avevo l'impressione
Che ballare così a questo modo
Fosse una cosa da vecchi
Ti dirò, forse non avevano mica torto

Onderweg Naar Kerstmis
((Dutch Version: Onderweg Naar Kerstmis (Wim De Craene) - 1989))
Composer(s): Chris Rea
First release by: Chris Rea - 1988



Ik rij naar huis, naar kerstmis
Want hier bleef ik veel te lang
Wie zegt dat ik hier een beurt mis
Ach ik ga mijn eigen gang
En al lijkt het niets
Toch is het lang geleden
En 'k zing dit lied
Ik kom eraan gereden
In mijn kleine kar
Flink op weg naar kerstmis
Het kan wel even duren
Maar ik kom eraan
Keurig in een jasje
Ken ik mezelf bijna niet meer
Netjes met een dasje
En van kop tot teen een heer
Ja dan mag dit lied
Me graag naar huis toe rijden
Al hoor je 't niet
En klinkt het zeer bescheiden
In men ouwe monster
Ik ben op weg naar kerstmis
Daar waar men wieg stond jongens
En de dingen die ik mis
En de kerel in de wagen naast me
Lijkt hij mij
Of lijk ik hem

Io vivo solo con mamma'
In una vecchia proprieta' via paganini
Con una gatta in liberta'
La tartaruga senza eta' e i canarini
Perche' mamma riposi un po'
Ci penso io, visto che so' a cucinare
Mettere in ordine, pulire
Fare la spesa e perche' no, anche a cucire
Paura a lavorare mai!
Io sono un po'decoratore e un po' stilista
Pero' e' la notte dove so',
Che io do tutto quel che ho', sono un artista
Eseguo un numero speciale
Che chiudo col nudo integrale, che mi si addice
E nella sala vedo che, i maschi dicono di me
"E' un uomo o quello che si dice"...

A cena poi verso le tre
Ho tanti amici intorno a me, di tutti i sessi
C'e' un aria di cordialita'
Un assoluta liberta' senza complessi
Scoprendo delle verita'
Sul conto di chi non ci va' lo lapidiamo
Con umorismo sempre, ma
Con raffinata crudelta' lo distruggiamo
C'e' qualche ritardato che
Crede di scimmiottare me, con l'ancheggiare
Povera gente che non sa'
Quanto ridicola si fa' da compatire..
Gente che ride piu' che puo'
Parla con gesti da tenore e grande attrice
Io, lazzi e frizzi lascio che passino alti su di me
"Un uomo o quello che si dice"...

E quando all'alba rientrero'
A casa mia ritrovero' la mia tristezza
Parrucca e ciglia togliero'
Ma i segni non cancellero' della stanchezza
Mi stendo ma non dormo mai
Penso ai miei amori derisori e senza gioia
A lui che so' soltanto io
E infiamma bello come un dio i miei pensieri
Parlargli, io, non osero'
So che non gli rivelero' la mia condanna
Se il meglio della verde eta'
In letti anonimi lo da ad una donna
Pero' non mi guardate mai
Con aria di severita' giudicatrice
Che colpa posso avere se
Madre natura fa di me
"Un uomo o quello che si dice"...

Tu étais dans les FFI
Et quand les Allemands t'ont pris
Tu venais de faire ce jour là
Sauter la gare de triage

Quand elle a su que tu partais
Dans un camp de prisonniers
J'en connais une qui ce jour-là
A du beaucoup pleurer pour toi
J'en connais une qui ce jour là

Quel souvenir papa
Quel souvenir tu as

Tu as fini par t'évader
Tu as trouvé l'amitié
Dans la maison d'un Alsacien
Qui t'a fait passer la frontière

Tu as fais la route à vélo
Tu as rejoint ton réseau
J'en connais une qui t'a caché
En attendant la fin de la guerre

Quel souvenir papa
Quel souvenir tu as

Tu as connu des privations
Mais avec tes compagnons
Tu tirais bien de temps en temps
Un lièvre dans la campagne

Le jour de la libération
Tu as repris ton vrai nom
J'en connais une qui ce jour-là
A du beaucoup pleurer de joie

Quel souvenir papa
Quel souvenir tu as
Quel souvenir papa
Quel souvenir tu as

Je vois que s'ouvrent les portes
De la petite chapelle
Maintenant voici qu'ils sortent
Eblouis de soleil

Qu'elle est belle, qu'elle est belle
Dans sa robe de mariée
J'aurais tant voulu porter la même
Qu'elle est belle, qu'elle est belle
Rayonnante de bonheur
Souriant à ce garçon que j'aime

Je m'en vais la mort dans l'âme
Mais bientôt je m'aperçois
Que le vent sèche mes larmes
Mon chagrin passera
Qu'elle est belle, qu'elle est belle
Mais je dois les oublier
Quand j'aurai vraiment trouvé l'amour
On dira de moi un jour
Qu'elle est belle!

Shake It

Here she comes ridin'
Rollin' it down the line
Slipin' and slidin'
Takin' her sweet old time

And laughin' all the way to the parking lot
Knowin' in the back of her mind
She's gonna show the boy what she's really got
And stop him in the nick of time

Shake it baby, shake it all you can tonight
Go on and, and break 'em baby
Break 'em all you can tonight
'Cause it won't last forever
But do it for worse or for better
And give the boy somethin' to dream on later

Here she comes slidin'
Shakin' it down the hall
She's got a picture in her locker
An autographed basketball

She's got a purse that was made in Mexico (Mexico)
A mind that was made for love
She's got a new way of dancin' slow
She knows what you're thinkin' of

Shake it baby, shake it all you can tonight
Go on and, and break 'em baby
Break 'em all you can tonight
'Cause it won't last forever
But do it for worse or for better
And give the boy somethin' to dream on later

It won't last forever
But do it for worse or for better
And give the boy somethin' to dream on later, and

Shake it baby, shake it all you can tonight
Go on and, and break 'em baby
Break 'em all you can tonight
'Cause it won't last forever
But do it for worse or for better
And give the boy somethin' to dream on later ...

Quelle Histoire

Performer(s): Jeanne Moreau



Cet homme est là qui me regarde
Je m'y accroche par mégarde
Je n'ai pas su baisser les yeux
Il semble en être très heureux
Il prend cela pour un aveu
Mes yeux sont noirs, les siens sont bleus

Oh! Oh! Oh! Quelle histoire
Il va croire que je le veux
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Comment faire
M'en défaire
Si je peux

Cet homme est là qui me sourit
Il me parle et j'en suis ravie
Je suis le dessin de sa bouche
Légèrement sa main me touche
Ce soir je ne suis pas farouche
Prise au piège comme une mouche

Oh! Oh! Oh! Quelle histoire
Il va croire que je le veux
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Comment faire
M'en défaire
Si je peux

Cet homme est là qui prend mon bras
Je le suis je ne sais pourquoi
Nous sommes un peu trop intimes
Je vais encore être victime
D'une aventure bellissime
Cette rencontre est rarissime

Oh! Oh! Oh! Quelle histoire
Il va croire que je le veux
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Comment faire
M'en défaire
Si je peux

Cet homme-là me déshabille
Ce soir mon corps sent la vanille
Tout simplement il a dit : "Viens!"
Et vainement je me retiens
Il fait tout cela pour mon bien
Son désir a tissé les liens

Oh! Oh! Oh! Quelle histoire
Il va croire que je le veux
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Comment faire
M'en défaire
Si je peux

Cet homme est là à mon réveil
Dehors il fait déjà soleil
Nous reprenons notre entretien
Ce n'est pas un théoricien
Quel est son nom, je n'en sais rien
Mais je crois qu'il est Brésilien

Oh! Oh! Oh! Quelle histoire
Il va croire que je le veux
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Comment faire
M'en défaire
Si je peux

Oh! Oh! Oh! Quelle histoire
Il va croire que je le veux
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Comment faire
M'en défaire
C'est trop tard!

C'era una volta una strada
Un buon vento mi porto laggiù
E se la memoria non m'inganna
All'angolo ti presentasti tu
Quelli eran giorni si, erano giorni e tu
Al mondo no
Non chiedere di più
Noi ballavamo un po
E senza musica
Nel nostro cuore c'era molto più
La, la, la...
Poi si sa col tempo anche le rose
Un mattino non fioriscon più
E cosi andarono le cose
Il buen vento non soffio mai più
Quelli eran giorni si, erano giorni e tu
Al mondo no
Non chiedere di più
E ripensandoci mi viene un nodo qui
E se io canto questo non vuol dir
La, la, la...
Oggi son tornata in quella strada
Un buon ricordo mi ha portata là
Eri insième a un gruppo di persone
E raccontavi cari amici miei
Quelli eran giorni si, erano giorni e tu
Al mondo no
Non chiedere di più
Noi ballavamo un po
E senza musica
Di passava la nostra gioventù
La, la, la...

Quello Che Non Ti Ho Detto Mai
Composer(s): Mogol; Gianni Bella
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano



Non ti ho detto mai
veramente quello che tu sei per me
è difficile spiegare quello che
ti riempie gli occhi e il cuore
e dà senso alla tua vita

Nessun uomo, sai
e nessuna donna può dividerci
è una palla di cemento oramai
questo nostro sentimento
che stringiamo tra le dita

Questi giorni sai
belli o brutti sono sempre belli e noi
siamo pieni di incertezze ma ci sei
con le tue carezze, tu...
A volte in mezzo al mare anche noi
rischiamo di affogare dentro ai guai
ci sappiamo consolare, come sai
rimanendo lì distesi
ad occhi chiusi
ad una nuvola appesi

Io non so se poi
il destino avrà un suo ruolo su di noi
tale da riuscire a separarci o no
ma io prego sin da adesso
che il futuro sia lo stesso

Ma se un bivio un dì
ci aspettasse per dividerci così
che restassimo da soli
tu già sai che vivrei per aspettarti
io ti proteggerei lo sai
con il vento piano ti accarezzerei
con il primo raggio io ti sveglierei
ed io spero di saperti
lì con qualcuno, che possa amarti
