The Day You Came Along Composer(s): Sam Coslow - Arthur Johnston Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists
My heart went leaping The day you came along Forgot my weeping The day you came along Before I knew it I hummed a little song The day you came along
I only drifted before you came along The fog was lifted Because you came along I sent the blackbirds right back where they belong The day you came along
Men have conquered nations Other men have set them free Pioneers across the sea You can turn the pages through the ages but for me Twas the most eventful day in history
Two souls were mated The day you came along A world created The day you came along One glance convinced me I knew I wasnt wrong The day you came along
Two souls were mated The day you came along A world created The day you came along One glance convinced me I knew I wasnt wrong The day you came along
Five Years Composer(s): David Bowie Performer(s): David Bowie; and various other artists
Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare I had to cram so many things to store everything in there And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think you knew you were in this song And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there Your face, your race, the way that you talk I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes Five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got We've got five years, what a surprise Five years, stuck on my eyes We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got We've got five years, stuck on my eyes Five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got We've got five years, what a surprise We've got five years, stuck on my eyes We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got Five years Five years Five years Five years
Once Upon A Dream Composer(s): Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky - Sammy Fain - Jack Lawrence First performance by: Mary Costa & Bill Shirley Covered by multiple other artists
[Princess Aurora] I know you I walked with you once upon a dream I know you The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam Yet I know its true That visions are seldom all they seem But if I know you I know what you'll do You'll love me at once The way you did once Upon a dream
But if I know you I know what you'll do You'll love me at once
[Princess Aurora and Prince] The way you did once
[Prince] Upon a dream
[Prince] I know you I walked with you once upon a dream I know you The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know its true That visions are seldom all they seem But if I know you I know what you'll do You'll love me at once The way I did once Upon a dream
Twinkle, twinkle, what a pity Alone alone on such a pretty night With enchantment on your side Popcorn, popcorn, cotton candy Soft voice whispered, "This all can be right If you come and share a ride"
Carnival in Kenora I let him take me for a ride On a giant Ferris wheel Up in the neon sky Or far from the barker's cry One kiss can sometimes make you feel Like a spinning Ferris wheel
All the tents are taken down now All that's left is scuffled ground now Still the magic echoes in the sand Popcorn, popcorn, cotton candy Now a stranger takes my hand; we smile And the magic understands
Carnival in Kenora I let him take me for a ride On a giant Ferris wheel Up in the neon sky Or far from the barker's cry One kiss can sometimes make you feel Like a spinning Ferris wheel

The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee
The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee Composer(s): Allan Clarke Performer(s): The Hollies
Big tall man standing in the street Gun hanging by his side Just one man that he'd like to meet That's when I began to hide
I recognised him from the face of his son The hate in his eye didn't lie Oh what I did can't be undone Borrowed time there's none to buy
Well I hid round the back of a derelict shack Ain't looking for a mad showdown But he was smart, he'd already checked A week in advance I'd paid down
Well the hotel clerk was a fun-loving man The job he had it didn't pay He told all about what happened that night There he is, that's the one's all he'd say
Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping On my bad neighbours doors Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgee's dying No one to protect our town Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly He's gonna shoot your sherriff down
Big tall man standing in the street Now a hand hovering waiting to slide Drew out his gun it wasn't for fun Let me in there's nowhere to hide
Well I made my play but it wasn't my day I felt the ripping lead That's when I knew my time was through Rest in peace were the last words he said
Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping On my bad neighbours doors Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgee's dying No one to protect our town Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly He's gonna shoot your sherriff down
Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping On my bad neighbours doors Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgee's dying No one to protect our town Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly He's gonna shoot your sherriff down
Tonight lets raise a glass my friend To those who couldnt make it A century has shut its eyes And who are we to wake it? Cool music we play, dance and say Carnival 2000 Lives come and go but life no denial Is always in style Welcome to Carnival 2000 Loves come and go but love above all Is belle of the ball We ask for any wrong weve done The years ahead forgive us We ask for any good weve done That all of it outlive us Cool music we play, dance and say Carnival 2000 Lives come and go but life no denial Is always in style Welcome to Carnival 2000 Loves come and go but love above all Is belle of the ball Welcome to Carnival 2000 Lives come and go but life no denial Is always in style Welcome to Carnival 2000 Loves come and go but love above all Is belle of the ball
Five Short Minutes Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce; The Ventures
Well, she was standing by my dressing room
after the show Asking for my autograph and asked if she could go Back to my motel room. But the rest is just a tragic tale Because five short minutes of lovin' Done brought me twenty long years in jail
Well, like a fool in a hurry I took her to my room She casted me in plaster while I sang her a tune Then I said, "Ooh, ooee!" Sure was a tragic tale Because five short minutes of lovin' Done brought me twenty long years in jail
Well, then a judge and a jury sat me in a room They say that robbin' the cradle is worse than robbin' the tomb Then I said "Ooh, ooee!" Sure was a tragic tale (Wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it!) Because five short minutes of lovin' Done brought me twenty long years in jail
And when I get out of this prison gonna be forty-five I'll know I used to like to do it but I won't remember why (Wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it!) I'll say "Ooh, ooee! Sure was a tragic tale Because five short minutes of lovin' Done brought me twenty long years in jail
Because five short minutes of lovin' Done brought me twenty long years in jail
Day Of Jubilo Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson Performer(s): Guy Mitchell
(Tell it to the preacher and the blessings flow Tell it to the teacher, but he dont know) Tell it to the poor man under the hill Tell it to the rich man makin his will Tell it but you wont know Till the day of Jubilo
Oh the Devil, he makes it thunder Every time he hollers loud The sun draws up the water And it rains right through the clouds The eagles wings, they fly so high They cause the wind to blow Now the only thing that bogs my mind I wonder what makes it snow
(Tell it to the preacher and the blessings flow Tell it to the teacher, but he dont know) Tell it to the poor man under the hill Tell it to the rich man makin his will Tell it but you wont know Till the day of Jubilo
Oh, the sun sits up above me The Heavens are all aglow The Devil, he dont love me Got a place that we all know The closer to the sun you climb The hotter its gonna grow Now the only thing that bogs my mind How did it get hot below
(Tell it to the preacher and the blessings flow Tell it to the teacher, but he dont know) Tell it to the poor man under the hill Tell it to the rich man makin his will Tell it but you wont know Till the day of Jubilo
I got my share of troubles Trouble runnin everywhere Blowin up like a bubble Gonna bust itself a fare Now Ive got troubles of every kind Brother that aint the half The only thing that bogs my mind I wonder what makes me laugh
(Tell it to the preacher, and the blessings flow Tell it to the teacher, but he dont know) Tell it to the poor man under the hill Tell it to the rich man makin his will Tell it but you wont know Till the day of Jubilo Till the day... of... Ju...bi...lo

Carnevale
Composer(s): M. Luberti - Riccardo Cocciante
Riccardo Cocciante
Un sorriso di più O una lacrima in più Mentre il tempo vola Prima il bene e poi il male Poi lo zucchero e il sale Seccano la gola
Carnevale E comincia cosi la mia recita Salto fuori di questa mia scatola E la mia faccia ride già
Carnevale Basterà che io suoni un'armonica Per riempire ogni cosa di musica E tutto quando passerà Oggi è festa se vuoi per consolarci E festa se vuoi per aiutarci a cambiare la realtà
Un giorno di più E anche un giorno di meno Perché il tempo vola Il silenzio fa male Ma anche troppe parole Seccano la gola
Carnevale Se la vita mi sembra un po' stupida Tolgo un asso da questa mia manica E tutto quanto cambierà
Carnevale Se ogni giorno mi sembra più inutile Ballo fino a stancarmi anche l'anima Che poi domani si vedrà Oggi è festa se vuoi per consolarci È festa se vuoi per aiutarci a cambiare la realtà
Carnevale Per ognuno di noi c'è una maschera Se nasconde un sorriso o una lacrima Io non lo dico ma lo so
Five O'Clock World Composer(s): Allen Reynolds Performer(s): The Vogues; and various other artists
Up every mornin' just to keep a job I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain While another day goes down the drain (yeah, yeah)
But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows No one owns a piece of my time And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes Thinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah
(Scat: oh-de-lay-ee-ee, etc ...)
Tradin' my time for the pay I get Livin' on money that I ain't made yet I've been goin' tryin' to make my way While I live for the end of the day (yeah, yeah)
Cuz it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows No one owns a piece of my time There's a long-haired girl who waits, I know To ease my troubled mind, yeah
(Scat: oh-de-lay-ee-ee, etc ...)
In the shelter of her arms everything's OK When she talks then the world goes slippin' away And I know the reason I can still go on When every other reason is gone, (yeah, yeah)
In my five o'clock world she waits for me Nothing else matters at all Cuz every time my baby smiles at me I know that's it's all worthwhile, yeah

Me confiesas tus dudas me dices que no sabes de qué va el Invento que esta broma pesada es obra más de la Locura que del Genio porque, cómo se explica estar aquí matando poco a poco el tiempo mientras él va matando al mismo tiempo y poco a poco nuestros sueños Y así es ya lo ves nada está al derecho todo está al revés la pasión la razón al final son sólo carne de cañón Carne de cañón... Me hablas del ser humano de Mr. Hyde y Dr. Jekyll cuerpo a cuerpo dando paso a la ciencia capaz de separar lo malo de lo bueno casi como los dioses que en él se miran como si fuera un espejo... pero a veces los mata y acaba convirtiendo el ciclo en un infierno Y así es... Dices que el semejante es como otra manera de ser uno mismo que lo que nos separa es algo tan endeble como lo distinto tan sutil diferencia no es causa para que yo sea tu asesino Qué maldito pecado merece la condena de tanto castigo Y así es...
Five O'Clock Whistle Composer(s): Kim Gannon; Gene Irwin; Josef Myrow Performer(s): Glenn Miller
The five o'clock whistle's on the blink The whistle won't blow and whadd'ya think? My pop is still in the factory 'cause he don't know What time it happens to be
The five o'clock whistle didn't blow The whistle is broke and whadda'ya know? If somebody don't find out what's wrong Oh, my pop'll be workin' all night long
Oh! Who's gonna fix the whistle? Won't somebody fix the whistle? Oh! Who's gonna fix the whistle? So my poor old pop will know It's time for him to stop
Ya ought to hear what my mommy said When papa came home and sneaked into bed And told her he worked till half past two 'Cause the five o'clock whistle never blew
The Day I Met Marie Composer(s): Hank Marvin Performer(s): Cliff Richard
Imaging a still summer's day When nothing is moving Least Of All Me I lay on my back in the hay The warm sun was soothing. It made me feel good The day I met Marie
The Sound of her whisper hello Came tiptoing softly into my head I opened my eyes kinda slow And there she was smiling It made me feel good The day I met Marie
With the laughing eyes She'd toss her hair and tantalize She came to touch me then she's gone Just like a summer breeze
I remember her kiss So soft on my brow And the way that she said Baby go to sleep now Baby go to sleep now
I woke with the chill in the air The warm sun no longer hung in the sky I reached out but she was not there She'd gone where she came from But I still feel good To think i've known Marie With the laughing eyes She'd toss her hair and tantalize She came to touch me then she's gone Just like a summer breeze
Carnations On The Roof
Composer(s): Pete Atkin - Clive James
Performer(s): Pete Atkin
He worked setting tools for a multi-purpose punch In a shop that made holes in steel plates He could hear himself think through a fifty minute lunch Of the kids, gas and stoppages, the upkeep and the rates While he talked about Everton and Chelsea with his mates
With gauge and micrometer, with level and with rule While chuck and punch were pulsing like a drum He checked the finished product like a master after school The slugs looked like money and the cutting-oil like scum And to talk with a machinist he made signals like the dumb
Though he had no great gifts of personality or mind He was generally respected, and the proof Was a line of hired Humbers tagging quietly behind A fat Austin Princess with carnations on the roof
Forty years of metal tend to get into your skin The surest coin you take home from your wage The green cleaning-jelly only goes to rub it in And that glitter in the wrinkle of your knuckle shows your age Began when the dignity of work was still the rage
He was used and discarded in a game he didn't own But when the moment of destruction came He showed that a working man is more than flesh and bone The hands on his chest flared more brightly than his name For a technicolor second as he rolled into the flame
Though he had no great gifts of personality or mind He was generally respected, and the proof Was a line of hired Humbers tagging quietly behind A fat Austin Princess with carnations on the roof
