Something About The Way You Look Tonight Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John and multiple other artists
There was a time I was everything and nothing all in one When you found me I was feeling like a cloud across the sun
I need to tell you How you light up every second of the day But in the moonlight You just shine like a beacon on the bay
And I can't explain But it's something about the way you look tonight Takes my breath away It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside And I can't describe But it's something about the way you look tonight Takes my breath away The way you look tonight
With a smile You pull the deepest secrets from my heart In all honesty I'm speechless and I don't know where to start
Up To Me Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Take you to the cinema and leave you in a Wimpy Bar you tell me that we've gone to far come running up to me Make the scene at Cousin Jack's leave him put the bottles back mends his glasses that I cracked well that one's up to me Buy a silver cloud to ride pack the tennis club inside trouser cuffs hung far too wide well it was up to me Tyres down on your bicicle your nose feels like an icicle the yellow fingered smoky girl is looking up to me Well I'm a common working man with a half of butter bread and jam and if it pleases me I'll put one one you man when the copper fades away The rainy season comes to pass the day-glo pirate sinks at last and if I laughed a bit too fast Well it was up to me
Bandido Composer(s): Jose L. Abel - Raul Orellana - J. Stinus First performance by: Azúcar Moreno - 1990
La luna me embrujó y me llevó hasta ti, veneno del amor que yo feliz bebí Y aunque mi pecho ardió y me abrasó la piel, me supo dulce como la miel
Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión
Y ahora cada vez que de mi lado te vas, siento el dolor crecer más y más
Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión
Así que abrázame con furia de huracán, que el fuego de tu amor sea como un volcán Y luego bésame, atrápame en tu red, que al fin tus labios colmen mi sed
Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión
Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión
Up Where We Belong Composer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie; Will Jennings; Jack Nitzsche Performer(s): Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes; The Starsound Orch.; Tramaine Hawkins; Glen Campbell
Who knows what tomorrow brings in a world where few hearts survive All I know is the way I feel When it's real I keep it alive
The road is long There are mountains in the way but we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong where the eagles cry on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong far from the world we know up where the clear winds blow
Some hang on to used to be live their lives looking behind When all we have is here and now All our lives out there to find
The road is long There are mountains in the way but we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong where the eagles cry on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong far from the world we know up where the clear winds blow
Time goes by No time to cry Life's you and I Alive... today
Love lift us up where we belong where the eagles cry on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong far from the world we know up where the clear winds blow

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon We could float among the stars together, you and I For we can fly we can fly Up, up and away My beautiful, my beautiful balloon The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky For we can fly we can fly Up, up and away My beautiful, my beautiful balloon Suspended under a twilight canopy We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us If by some chance you find yourself loving me We'll find a cloud to hide us We'll keep the moon beside us Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky For we can fly we can fly Up, up and away My beautiful, my beautiful balloon Balloon ...

Quelqu'un m'a tendu la main Quand j'étais seule avec ma peine Quelqu'un a changé toute ma vie Et je n'oublierai pas ce qu'il a fait pour moi
Quelqu'un est venu vers moi Et m'a parlé avec tendresse Je m'souviens des mots qu'il a dit Il parlait d'amitié, d'amour, de liberté
Et depuis ce jour merveilleux Pour nous deux où tout est bleu On est chaque jour plus heureux Pour nous deux où tout est bleu
Quelqu'un est venu ce soir Et il a dit les mots qu'il fallait dire Quelqu'un s'est glissé dans ma vie Et c'est depuis ce jour Que je sais ce qu'est l'amour

Now, things was looking golden, baby Everything was fine You never made no sign That you had changed your mind

Covered by multiple other artists
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight
I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye When we go out stepping on the town for a while My money's low and my suit's out of style
But it's all right if my clothes aren't new Out of sight because my heart is true She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
I'm a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say I guess her folks brought her up that way The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids No one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy
No football hero or smooth Don Juan Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poorman's son She says give her the things that money can buy But I'll never, never make my baby cry
And it's all right, what I can't do Out of sight because my heart is true She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight

Lýstu mina leið, lostafulli gamli máni Þótt gatan virðist greið er samt ýmislegt sem enginn sér Veröldin er full af fólki í leit að hamingjunni Sem glóir eins og gull í glætunni, ó tungl, frá þér

Somesay Composer(s): Rob Jones - Pete Wylie The Mighty Wah!
Somesay they offer a choice... Somesay - to fall or be punished Somesay we must end up nowhere But they - their lives must be hushed!
Tired of looking in mirrors, seeing things I'll never be... Angry with the figureheads who send us up blind alleys... Bug guns come blasting - I'll have to stay and fight... Big hooks are coming and the little fish they bite
Somesay: "these things aren't for long" Somesay - but history will tell Somesay - what's happened is just the start Somesay - less pain when we yell!
Talk about the future, listen to the past Dance dance dance dance to the music of the last chance man He's died a dozen deaths - he'll die a dozen more Trouble from the start with a mind like yours
Somesay: "The truth is in check" Somesay: "It's black or it's white" Somesay - the secret's to not turn back... Somesay - Stay! it's time for the fight! Fight the liars! Fight the liars! Ain't it the truth!

Une Star À Sa Façon Composer(s): Francis Cabrel; Alain Salvati Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Elle vit tout doucement Pour son homme et ses enfants Sans jamais trop s'écarter Des mots que Dieu lui a dicté C'est quelqu'un dont on ne parle pas Et je l'aime pour ça C'est une fleur sur l'horizon Une star à sa façon J'ai découvert le matin Dans la chaleur de ses mains Et j'ai grandi bien au fond De son palais de coton C'est quelqu'un dont on ne parle pas Et je l'aime pour ça C'est la reine dans sa maison Une star à sa façon Elle m'appelle et puis autour de moi C'est le printemps à chaque fois Elle est si belle que je lui ai dit Les premiers mots de ma vie Surtout ne me demandez pas De vous la montrer du doigt Avec vos yeux d'étranger Vous n'allez rien remarquer Mais ce quelqu'un dont on ne parle pas C'est plus que tu ne crois C'est le titre de ma chanson Une star à sa façon Elle m'appelle et puis autour de moi C'est le printemps à chaque fois Elle est si belle que je lui ai dit Les premiers mots de ma vie
Someone's Taken Maria Away Composer(s): Chris Andrews Performer(s): Adam Faith & The Roulettes; Chris Andrews
Warm was the sun when I first met Marie A living angel appeared before me Music played and I was in her arms I surrendered to her charms Someone's taken Maria away Somebody's taken Maria away She won't come back no more, no, no, no, no
I can't forget how we laughed in the rain Moments so sweet, will I find them again I can't say just how much I miss Her lips being there to kiss Someone's taken Maria away Somebody's taken Maria away She won't come back no more, no, no, no, no
And now she is gone, tears and smile I'll miss them all No more I'll hear her sweet voice when I call And if sometimes you should see me cry It's `cause I'm wonderin' why Someone's taken Maria away Somebody's taken Maria away She won't come back no more, no, no, no, no
Somebody's taken Maria away Somebody's taken Maria away She won't come back no more, no, no, no, no
Une Valse Composer(s): Jacques Plante; Charles Dumont Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Une valse Une étrange valse Tient toute la place Dans ma rêverie Et dans ma vie Elle évoque Une lointaine époque Un décor baroque L'ancienne Russie Et ses folies Et j'invente Une ville immense Qui chante et qui danse Le Saint-Pétersbourg Des nuits blanches
Je m'évade Roulée dans ces vagues Touchée par la grâce Je ferme les yeux C'est merveilleux...
Et ma valse Tourne dans les glaces De tout un palace D'or et de cristal Ces soirs de bal Robe longue Envol de colombe La lumière et l'ombre Tout tourne à la fois Autour de moi J'ai la fièvre De sang sur mes lèvres Le feu de la fête Je ne sais plus bien Si je rêve...
Et je danse Dans ma robe blanche Deux doigts sous la manche D'un jeune aspirant J'ai dix-sept ans
Cette valse Ce n'est que la valse Que l'orchestre en face Dans ce cabaret Joue sans arrêt Mon beau prince N'est ni grand, ni mince Dans le froid qui pince Il fait son métier C'est le portier Du ciel pâle Une neige sale Descend en rafales Et tombe sans bruit Sur Pigalle...
Les enseignes En lettres qui saignent S'allument et s'éteignent Au cur de Paris Hôtel de Russie... Hôtel de Russie... Hôtel de Russie...
