The Little Old Lady (From Pasadena) Composer(s): Don Altfeld - Roger Christian First release by: Jan & Dean - 1964
It's the little old lady from Pasadena
The little old lady from Pasadena (Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go) Has a pretty little flower bed of white gardenias (Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go) But parked in a rickety old garage Is a brand new, shiny red Super Stock Dodge
And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner Than the little old lady from Pasadena (She drives real fast and she drives real hard) She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena If you see her on the street don't try to choose her (Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go) You might drive a goer but you'll never lose her (Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go) Well, she's gonna get a ticket now sooner or later 'Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator
And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner Than the little old lady from Pasadena (She drives real fast and she drives real hard) She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go) (Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go) The guys come to race her for miles around But she'll give 'em a length and then she'll shut 'em down
And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner Than the little old lady from Pasadena (She drives real fast and she drives real hard) She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go
Charlie Freak
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan
Charlie freak had but one thing to call his own Three weight ounce pure golden ring no precious stone Five nights without a bite No place to lay his head And if nobody takes him in Hell soon be dead On the street he spied my face I heard him hail In our plot of frozen space he told his tale Poor man, he showed his hand So righteous was his need And me so wise I bought his prize For chicken feed
Newfound cash soon begs to smash a state of mind Close inspection fast revealed his favorite kind Poor kid, he overdid Embraced the spreading haze And while he sighed his body died In fifteen ways
When I heard I grabbed a cab to where he lay round his arm the plastic tag read d.o.a. Yes jack, I gave it back The ring I could not own Now come my friend Ill take your hand And lead you home
Undress Me ((Adapted from: Déshabillez-Moi (Juliette Gréco) - 1967)) Composer(s): Robert Nyel - Gaby Verlor - Paul Francis Buck Performer(s): Marc Almond - 1996
Undress me Undress me But not right away Not too fast, eh!
Can you crave for me? Desire me? Enthral me
Undress me Undress me But don't be like the first time Or go too crazy
First look at the truth Take time to proceed Don't be uncouth Or show your greed Devour me with your eyes But be cautious I'll become ravenous By and by
Undress me Deshabillez moi But not right away Not too fast, eh!
Can you hypnotise me? Envelop me? Capture me
Undress me Undress me But with some tact And be exact And dextrous
Choose your words with care Control yourself, be strict Not too slow nor quick On my skin There that's it, I'm trembling And offer much to your expert touch Oh, come on!
Undress me Deshabillez moi I want it right away Go faster, it's okay Can you possess me? Consume me? Burn me... up!
Undress me Undress me Behave like a lover And be a lover Do it!
Undress me come on, undress me And you... undress yourself
Future Times Composer(s): Jon Anderson; Steve Howe; Chris Squire; Rick Wakeman; Alan White Performer(s): Yes
In the fountains of the universe (set time in accord) Sits the boychild Solomon
(Ever turning round and round) In the cities of the Southern Sky (set points universe) Dreams he of glory (pulsating round and round) Future times will stand and clearly see (highest dancing) Of the course of innocence (Drifting drifting)
See it all See it all Till tomorrow See it all See it all Till tomorrow Future times will stand and clearly smile Of the course of innocence
Dantalion will ride again (raging forth underland) The course of evils standing straight (grind to grind) Hot metal will abound the land (churning out shout) As the form regards our blazing hand Future times will stand and clearly see Of the course of innocence
One the word will enter all our hearts Two the duel will alter them Three jewels countenance divine away delight away four the fight to free the land Five the islands of Arabia Six the tears that separate Six the tears that separate
Charlie Brown "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Un petit garçon comme Charlie À qui jamais rien ne réussit Ça s'casse la figure À tous les coins d'la ville Dieu que la vie est dure Pour Charlie
Mais ce petit garçon Qu'est Charlie Qui n'récolte jamais que des ennuis Et qui les prend pourtant Avec philosophie C'est l'image d'un enfant d'aujourd'hui
Moi-même j'étais comme Charlie Semblable à Charlie Brown Je grimpais à la corde de mon cerf-volant Afin d'mieux voir le firmament Mais voici que la corde casse et Charlie Seul dans l'herbe de la prairie Encore un peu plus triste que tout à l'heure Retient les larmes de Charlie Brown
Futura Composer(s): Lucio Dalla Performer(s): Lucio Dalla
Chissà chissà domani su che cosa metteremo le mani se si potrà contare ancora le onde del mare e alzare la testa non esser così seria, rimani i russi, i russi gli americani no lacrime non fermarti fino a domani sarà stato forse un tuono non mi meraviglio è una notte di fuoco dove sono le tue mani nascerà e non avrà paura nostro figlio e chissà come sarà lui domani su quali strade camminerà cosa avrà nelle sue mani.. le sue mani si muoverà e potrà volare nuoterà su una stella come sei bella e se è una femmina si chiamerà futura Il suo nome detto questa notte mette già paura sarà diversa bella come una stella sarai tu in miniatura ma non fermarti voglio ancora baciarti chiudi i tuoi occhi non voltarti indietro qui tutto il mondo sembra fatto di vetro e sta cadendo a pezzi come un vecchio presepio. Di più, muoviti più fretta di più, benedetta più su, nel silenzio tra le nuvole, più su che si arriva alla luna, si la luna ma non è bella come te questa luna è una sottana americana Allora su mettendoci di fianco, più su guida tu che sono stanco, più su in mezzo ai razzi e a un batticuore, più su son sicuro che c'e' il sole ma che sole è un cappello di ghiaccio questo sole è una catena di ferro senza amore, amore, amore, amore Lento lento adesso batte più lento ciao, come stai il tuo cuore lo sento i tuoi occhi così belli non li ho visti mai ma adesso non voltarti voglio ancora guardarti non girare la testa dove sono le tue mani aspettiamo che ritorni la luce di sentire una voce aspettiamo senza avere paura, domani
The Little House Upon The Hill Composer(s): Ballard MacDonald - Joe Goodwin - Harry Puck
I feel oh! so lonely tonight I feel all alone I'm just starving for a sight Of my old Kentucky home I can see my mother old and gray I can hear the whippoor will I can see a light for me In the window of the house upon the hill
I've seen many wonderful sights Wand'ring on my way But I've spent such lonesome nights And been weary thru the day I'm just longing for a mother's love And I know she longs for me Can't erase her loving face It's the sight of all sights I want to see
There's a light that's burning in the window Of a little house upon the hill And the light will burn And a heart will yearn And it always will till I return For there's only one mother I know she's waiting still And she'll always keep the light a burning in the window of the house upon the hill

Beneath my window every morn I can hear a great big horn Oom pah-pah, oom pah-pah In the backyard playing they are I give them money when they play I give them more to go away They all stand in a ring They play the same old thing And when the leader pulls a string They drop their horns and sing

Oh that music is so grand From the little German Band Toot Toot Toot, Toot Toot Toot The bass horn fella is the best Now he can almost drown the rest They don't play something new They blow until they're blue And when you think there through They'll sing a line or two

He rides on his horse and cart, Charlie does working from six until nine Collecting old rags and used bicycles old iron of description of any kind
Here comes Charlie, Charlie the Ragman Throw out your old clothes for Charlie and Fred Earning a living off things we've discarded Earning enough for the board and the bed
You hear him shout "Rags and old iron" Everyone knows him that way Once a week, they come 'round calling How long it's been, I can't say
They live all alone in a hovel He puts his money away Taking enough to just live on and at the end of the day he's saving enough to put Fred out to graze
They live all alone in a hovel He puts his money away Taking enough to just live on and at the end of the day he's saving enough to put Fred out to graze
Has anyone seen Charlie lately? Charlie just ain't been around Everyone's seen Fred is grazing chewing the grass from the ground
Children say Charlie is happy giving balloons to the angels instead Where is Charlie, Charlie the Ragman? Don't throw your clothes out

The Little Boy And The Old Man Composer(s): Wayne Shanklin Performer(s): Frankie Laine & Jimmy Boyd
Old Man, Old Man is the world really round Tell me where in the world can a bluebird be found Tell me why is the sky up above so blue And when you were a boy did you cry like I do
What becomes of the sun when it falls in the sea And who lights it again so that we can see Tell me why can't I fly without wings when I try I just can't understand why you're crying old man
Little boy, little boy yes its true the world is round But I never did find where a bluebird is found And the sky is so blue just because of love May your sky always be like the blue sky above
And the sun only seems to fall into the sea If the sun always shone how could moonlight be Little boy you can't fly, you might fall... and I... Well good bye little boy, goodbye
Charlie
Composer(s): Trevor Rabin - Patrick Van Blerk
Performer(s): Rabbitt
Loving you is easy Such a beautiful thing to do And though at times you hurt me I buzz each night on you Oh! What times we've had together What crazy things we've done Enough to fill my memory And keep me loving Charlie Charlie
As dogs go you're groovy Not as predictable as some But you're not as paranoid as Lady Marmalade And really much more fun
Hell! At times I get so mad When you buzz on someone new It's not that you don't love me It's not that I'm too selfish to consider sharing Charlie Charlie
You've filled my head with new ideas And filled my heart with sun So I'd like to take this time right now To thank you for what you've done
You and Lady Marmalade Are everything I need The two of you and the music Deep inside of me
And watching you sleep Side by side Makes me breathe Gratefully I love you Charlie Charlie
