    The Longest Time
    Composer(s): Billy Joel
    First release by: Billy Joel - 1983
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Oh, oh, oh
    For the longest time
    Oh, oh, oh
    For the longest time
    If you said goodbye to me tonight
    There would still be music left to write
    What else could I do
    I'm so inspired by you
    That hasn't happened for the longest time

    Once I thought my innocence was gone
    Now I know that happiness goes on
    That's where you found me
    When you put your arms around me
    I haven't been there for the longest time

    Oh, oh, oh
    For the longest time
    Oh, oh, oh
    For the longest
    I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
    And the greatest miracle of all
    Is how I need you
    And how you needed me too
    That hasn't happened for the longest time

    Maybe this won't last very long
    But you feel so right
    And I could be wrong
    Maybe I've been hoping too hard
    But I've gone this far
    And it's more than I hoped for

    Who knows how much further we'll go on
    Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
    I'll take my chances
    I forgot how nice romance is
    I haven't been there for the longest time

    I had second thoughts at the start
    I said to myself
    Hold on to your heart
    Now I know the woman that you are
    You're wonderful so far
    And it's more than I hoped for

    I don't care what consequence it brings
    I have been a fool for lesser things
    I want you so bad
    I think you ought to know that
    I intend to hold you for the longest time

    Ragged Old Flag
    Composer(s): John R. Cash
    Performer(s): Johnny Cash - 1974;
    and various other artists



    I walked through a county courthouse square
    On a park bench an old man was sitting there
    I said, "Your old courthouse is kinda run down"
    He said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town"
    I said, "Your old flagpole has leaned a little bit
    And that's a Ragged Old Flag you got hanging on it"

    He said, "Have a seat," and I sat down
    "Is this the first time you've been to our little town?"
    I said, "I think it is." He said, "I don't like to brag
    But we're kinda proud of that Ragged Old Flag

    "You see, we got a little hole in that flag there when
    Washington took it across the Delaware
    And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key
    Sat watching it writing Say Can You See
    And it got a bad rip in New Orleans
    With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seems

    "And it almost fell at the Alamo
    Beside the Texas flag, but she waved on though
    She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville
    And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill
    There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg
    And the south wind blew hard on that Ragged Old Flag

    "On Flanders Field in World War I
    She got a big hole from a Bertha gun
    She turned blood red in World War II
    She hung limp and low by the time it was through
    She was in Korea and Vietnam
    She was sent where she was by her Uncle Sam

    "She waved from our ships upon the briny foam
    And now they've about quit waving her back here at home
    In her own good land here she's been abused
    She's been burned, dishonored, denied, and refused

    "And the government for which she stands
    Is scandalized throughout the land
    And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin
    But she's in good shape for the shape she's in
    'Cause she's been through the fire before
    And I believe she can take a whole lot more

    "So we raise her up every morning, take her down every night
    We don't let her touch the ground and we fold her up right
    On second thought, I do like to brag
    'Cause I'm mighty proud of the Ragged Old Flag"

    The Long Way Around
    Composer(s): Ken Edwards
    Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt



    It's a cinch that I've been wrong
    And it's clear it's not been long
    Since I was hard on you
    But now a time has come
    When yesterday don't mean nothin'
    Now I'm in love with you
    And you've taken me the long way around

    Take a look how young we are
    A month has changed the moon and the stars
    Changing the things we do
    You've been lookin' for something strong
    When other things don't mean nothin'
    Now I'm in love with you
    And you've taken me the long way around

    Well I can't see beyond the doubt that's in your eye
    It's on the outskirts of my fading alibi

    It's a cinch that I've been wrong
    And it's clear it's not been long
    Since I was hard on you
    But now a time has come
    When yesterday don't mean nothin'
    Now I'm in love with you
    And you've taken me the long way around
    Now I'm in love with you
    And you've taken me the long way around

    Rage In The Cage
    Composer(s): Peter Wolf; Seth Justman
    Performer(s): The J. Geils Band



    Shopping Center crazy
    I need some fast relief
    The boss says, "Boy, you're lazy"
    But I'm just bored beyond belief
    Laid off since last summer
    Man, this really takes the cake
    This town is like a prison
    And I just got to make my break
    They say "Be cautious, little mister"
    They shove it down your throat
    I'm 'bout to choke - choke
    I'm nauseous - my transistor's 'bout the
    only antidote to keep my temperature
    from runnin' wild
    Let me hear that radio!
    Chorus
    There's a rage in the cage
    There's a rage in the cage
    Sweet Diana to the rescue
    Hot potato to my aid
    She's the girl with the swirl
    Like air-conditioned lemonade
    But the lady's on the hot-plate
    Daddy's threatened to disown
    Handcuffed tight in a chain of events
    I guess I'm out here on my own
    It don't take a PhD
    To know I'm goin' nowhere fast
    I've got to move - I'm on the move
    It don't take much to see
    This town is livin' in the past
    They all just seem to wanna tie me down
    Let me hear that radio!
    Chorus
    I wanna rock it
    I've got to rock it
    I've gotta get me on that rocket ship to outa here
    This town is wearin' ear plugs
    I'm of age and loose to juice
    But they say Stop! Stop!
    There's a fire in the furnace
    Breakin' out and breakin' loose
    You know I'm just about to lose my mind
    They don't want me paralyzed
    They just want me neutralized
    Chorus

    The Long Way
    Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
    Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



    She was lost
    And I thought I was found
    Even so I tried
    To bring her in...

    She was young
    And I had just begun
    To learn that even
    Losing men can win

    We went the long way
    We went the long way
    We went the long way...
    Or maybe just the wrong way
    I'll never know

    Overnight
    We were shown the light
    Neither of us knew
    To look away...
    So we burned
    And far too late we learned
    That lifetimes can't be lived out
    In a day

    We went the long way
    We went the long way
    We went the long way...
    Or maybe just the wrong way
    I'll never know

    So, goodbye
    At least me made the try
    Something can be said for
    love that's pure
    If and when
    We ever try again
    One thing will be known to us
    For sure...

    We'll go the long way
    We'll go the long way
    We'll go the long way...
    Or maybe just the wrong way
    I'll never know

    Chattanoogie Shoe-Shine Boy Composer(s): Jack Stapp - Harry Stone Performer(s): Red Foley and multiple other artists



    Have you ever passed the corner of Forth and Grand?
    Where a little ball o' rhythm has a shoe-shine stand
    People gather 'round and they clap their hands
    He's a great big bundle o' joy
    He pops the boogie woogie rag
    The Chattanoogie shoe-shine boy

    He charges you a nickel just to shine one shoe
    He makes the oldest kind o' leather look like new
    You feel as though you wanna dance when he gets through
    He's a great big bundle o' joy
    He pops the boogie woogie rag
    The Chattanoogie shoe-shine boy

    It's a wonder that the rag don't tear
    The way he makes it pop
    You ought to see him fan the air
    With his hoppity-hippity-hippity-hoppity-hoppity-hippity-hop

    He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine
    He likes to get up early when they're feelin' fine
    Everybody gets a little rise 'n shine
    With the great big bundle o' joy
    He pops the boogie woogie rag
    The Chattanoogie shoe-shine boy

    It's a wonder that the rag don't tear
    The way he makes it pop
    Just listen to him fan the air
    Here he goes!

    He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine
    He likes to get up early when they're feelin' fine
    Everybody gets a little rise 'n shine
    With the great big bundle o' joy
    He pops the boogie woogie rag
    The Chattanoogie shoe-shine boy

    Ragazzo Dell'Europa
    Composer(s): Gianna Nannini
    Performer(s): Gianna Nannini



    Tu che guardi verso di me
    hai visto i tori nel sonno ed hai lasciato Madrid
    stai nei miei occhi e racconti le sirene e gli inganni del tuo sogno che va
    tu ragazzo dell'Europa
    tu non perdi mai la strada
    tu che prendi a calci la notte
    bevi fiumi di vodka e poi ti infili i miei jeans
    tu cominci sempre qualcosa e mi lasci sospesa e non parli di te
    tu ragazzo dell'Europa
    tu col cuore fuori strada
    tu che fai l'amore selvaggio
    trovi sempre un passagio per andare più in là
    viaggi con quell'aria precaria
    sembri quasi un poeta dentro ai tuoi bouleavard
    tu ragazzo dell'Europa
    porti in giro la fortunatu che incontri tutti per caso
    non ritorni a Varsavia per non fare il soldato
    ora vivi in mezzo a una sfida per le vie di Colonia
    e non sai dove andrai
    tu ragazzo dell'Europa
    tu non pianti mai bandiera
    tu ragazzo dell'Europa
    tu ragazzo dell'Europa
    tu non pianti mai bandiera
    tu ragazzo dell'Europa
    tu non pianti mai bandiera

    I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
    I used to stay out till the break of day
    oh that didnt git it, it was high time I quit it
    I just couldnt carry on that way
    oh, I did some damage, I know its true
    didn't know I was so lonely till I found you

    who can go the distance?
    we'll find out in the long run, in the long run
    we can handle some resistance
    if our love is a strong one. is a strong one
    people talkin about us, they got nothing else to do
    when it all comes down we will still come through
    in the long run
    ooh I want to tell you it's a long run

    you know I don't understand why you don't treat yourself better
    do the crazy things that you do
    when all the debutantes back in Houston baby
    couldn't hold a candle to you
    did you do it for love, did you do it for money
    did you do it for spite, did you think you had to honey?

    who is gonna make it?
    well find out in the long run, in the long run
    I know we can take it
    if our love is a strong one, is a strong one
    well were scared but we ain't shakin
    kinda bent but we ain't breakin
    in the long run
    ooh I want to tell you it's a long run

    Pardon me boy
    is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo
    Track 29 boy you can give me a shine
    I can afford
    to board a Chattanooga Choo Choo
    I've got my fare and just a trifle to spare

    Well you leave the Pennsylvania station
    'bout a quarter to four
    Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore
    Dinner at the diner
    Nothing could be finer
    Then you have your ham and eggs in Carolina

    When you hear the whistle blowing
    eight to the bar
    Then you know that Tenneesse is not very far
    Shovel all the coal in
    Gotta keep it rolling
    Whoo,Whoo, Chattanooga there you are

    There's gonna be
    A certain party at the station
    Satin and lace
    I used to call funny face
    She's gonna cry Until
    I tell her that I'll never roam
    So, Chattanooga Choo Choo
    Won't you Choo Choo me home!

    Born and raised as a rich man's son
    You were always the restless one
    Living high only made you low
    So you packed up and hit the road

    Chorus:
    Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
    Life was so grand, you used to stand
    Holdin' your head up high
    Look at you now, I wonder how
    You can be satisfied

    Stowed a ride on a westbound train
    Called yourself by another name
    Spent your nights in a mission home
    Cast away the life that you'd known

    (chorus)

    As you rise in the mornin' rain
    Take a look down that road again
    Does the thought ever grab your mind
    For the life that you've left behind?

    (chorus)

    Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
    Ahhhhh, la la la la la la la
    Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man

    The long and winding road, that leads to your door
    Will never disappear, I've seen that road before
    It always leads me here, lead me to your door
    The wild and windy night, that the rain washed away
    Has left a pool of tears, crying for the day
    Why leave me standing here?
    Let me know the way
    Many times I've been alone, and many times I've cried
    Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried
    And still they lead me back, to the long winding road
    You left me standing here, a long, long time ago
    Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to you door!
    But still they lead me back, to the long and winding road
    You left me standing here, a long, long time ago
    Don't keep me waiting here, lead me to you

    Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
    It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
    We laid rubber on the Georgie asphalt
    We got a little crazy but we never got caught

    Down by the river on a friday night
    A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
    Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
    Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute
    Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
    Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
    But I learned how to swim and I learned how I was
    A lot about livin' and a litttle 'bout love

    Well we fooged up the windows in my old chevy
    I was willing but she wasn't ready
    So a settled for a burger and a grape sno - cone
    Dropped her off early but I didn't go home

    Down by the river on a friday night
    A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
    Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
    Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute
    Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee

    Via Della Povertà
    ((Adapted from: Desolation Row (Bob Dylan) - 1965))
    ((Dutch Version: De Verloren Straat (Ernst Jansz) - 2010))
    Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Fabrizio De André
    Performer(s): Fabrizio De André - 1974



    Il Salone di bellezza in fondo al vicolo
    è affollatissimo di marinai
    prova a chiedere a uno che ore sono
    e ti risponderà "non l'ho saputo mai"

    Le cartoline dell'impiccagione
    sono in vendita a cento lire l'una
    il commissario cieco dietro la stazione
    per un indizio ti legge la sfortuna

    e le forze dell'ordine irrequiete
    cercano qualcosa che non va
    mentre io e la mia signora ci affacciamo stasera
    su via della Povertà

    Cenerentola sembra così facile
    ogni volta che sorride ti cattura
    ricorda proprio Bette Davis
    con le mani appoggiate alla cintura

    Arriva Romeo trafelato
    e le grida "il mio amore sei tu"
    ma qualcuno gli dice di andar via
    e di non riprovarci più

    e l'unico suono che rimane
    quando l'ambulanza se ne va
    è Cenerentola che spazza la strada
    in via della Povertà

    Mentre l'alba sta uccidendo la luna
    e le stelle si son quasi nascoste
    la signora che legge la fortuna
    se n'è andata in compagnia dell'oste

    Ad eccezione di Abele e di Caino
    tutti quanti sono andati a far l'amore
    aspettando che venga la pioggia
    ad annacquare la gioia ed il dolore

    e il Buon Samaritano
    sta affilando la sua pietà
    se ne andrà al Carnevale stasera
    in via della Povertà

    I tre Re Magi sono disperati
    Gesù Bambino è diventato vecchio
    e Mister Hyde piange sconcertato
    vedendo Jeckyll che ride nello specchio

    Ofelia è dietro la finestra
    mai nessuno le ha detto che è bella
    a soli ventidue anni
    è già una vecchia zitella

    la sua morte sarà molto romantica
    trasformandosi in oro se ne andrà
    per adesso cammina avanti e indietro
    in via della Povertà

    Einstein travestito da ubriacone
    ha nascosto i suoi appunti in un baule
    è passato di qui un'ora fa
    diretto verso l'ultima Thule

    sembrava così timido e impaurito
    quando ha chiesto di fermarsi un po' qui
    ma poi ha cominciato a fumare
    e a recitare l'A B C

    ed a vederlo tu non lo diresti mai
    ma era famoso qualche tempo fa
    per suonare il violino elettrico
    in via della Povertà

    Ci si prepara per la grande festa
    c'è qualcuno che comincia ad aver sete
    il fantasma dell'opera
    si è vestito in abiti da prete
    sta ingozzando a viva forza Casanova
    per punirlo della sua sensualità
    lo ucciderà parlandogli d'amore
    dopo averlo avvelenato di pietà

    e mentre il fantasma grida
    tre ragazze si son spogliate già
    Casanova sta per essere violentato
    in via della Povertà

    E bravo Nettuno mattacchione
    il Titanic sta affondando nell'aurora
    nelle scialuppe i posti letto sono tutti occupati
    e il capitano grida "ce ne stanno ancora"

    e Ezra Pound e Thomas Eliot
    fanno a pugni nella torre di comando
    i suonatori di calipso ridono di loro
    mentre il cielo si sta allontanando

    e affacciati alle loro finestre nel mare
    tutti pescano mimose e lillà
    e nessuno deve più preoccuparsi
    di via della Povertà

    A mezzanotte in punto i poliziotti
    fanno il loro solito lavoro
    metton le manette intorno ai polsi
    a quelli che ne sanno più di loro

    i prigionieri vengon trascinati
    su un calvario improvvisato lì vicino
    e il caporale Adolfo li ha avvisati
    che passeranno tutti dal camino
    e il vento ride forte
    e nessuno riuscirà a ingannare il suo destino
    in via della Povertà

    La tua lettera l'ho avuta proprio ieri
    mi racconti tutto quel che fai
    ma non essere ridicola
    non chiedermi "come stai"

    questa gente di cui mi vai parlando
    è gente come tutti noi
    non mi sembra che siano mostri
    non mi sembra che siano eroi
    e non mandarmi ancora tue notizie
    nessuno ti risponderà
    se insisti a spedirmi le tue lettere
    da via della Povertà

    Chat Gris Chagrin
    Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



    Chat gris, chagrin soir
    Et matin sur l'édredon fait son ronron
    Chat gris, chagrin les yeux éteints
    Trouve le temps long et tourne en rond

    Elle, elle comprenait chat gris
    Elle, elle te parlait chagrin
    Moi j'suis ton ami aussi
    Mais j'ai ma tête entre mes mains
    Tu le vois bien

    Et que peut bien faire un monsieur sans entrain
    Pour te distraire chat gris, chagrin
    Te jeter son cœur comme une boule de laine
    Ça f'rait ton bonheur ça chass'rait pas ta peine

    Chat gris, chagrin dans le jardin
    De papillon en abandon
    Chat gris, chagrin
    Trouve son patron pas folichon

    Elle, elle m'a quitté chat gris
    Elle, elle t'a oublié chagrin
    Va, si tu peux la trouver
    Moi, je ne peux pas t'aider
    Tu le vois bien

    Que pourrait bien faire un monsieur sans entrain
    Pour te distraire chat gris, chagrin
    Te jeter son cœur comme une boule de laine
    Ça f'rait ton bonheur ça chass'rait pas ta peine

    Rag Mama Rag
    Composer(s): J.R. Robertson
    Performer(s): The Band



    Rag Mama Rag, I can't believe it's true
    Rag Mama Rag, what did you do?
    I crawled up to the railroad track, let the four nine-teen scratch my back

    Shag mama shag now whats come over you
    Rag Mama Rag, I'm a pulling out your gag
    Gonna turn you lose like an old caboose
    Got a tail I need a drag
    I ask about your turtle, and you ask about the weather
    Well, I can't jump the hurdle and we can't get together
    We could be relaxing in my sleeping bag
    But all you want to do for me mama is a Rag Mama Rag
    There's nowhere to go

    Rag Mama Rag
    Come on resin up the bow

    Rag Mama Rag, where do ya roam?
    Rag Mama Rag, bring your skinny little body right home

    Its dog eat dog and cat eat mouse, you can
    Rag Mama Rag all over my house

    Hail stones beatin on the roof
    the bourbon is a hundred proof
    its you and me and the telephone
    Our destiny is quite well known
    We don't need to sit and brag
    All we gotta do is
    Rag Mama Rag
    Rag Mama Rag
    Where do you roam?
    Rag Mama Rag, bring your skinny little body back home

    Contact... Moteur! Y a du monde sur les boulevards Des chevaux sous les capots Des ronflements dans le brouillard De drôles de bruits dans la sono On s'dit "bonjour" et puis "au-revoir" Un signe de tête dans les rétros Motos, pilotes, autos, motards Good bye, good luck, à bientôt On laisse les habitudes pour d'autres latitudes Destination plein sud! Chasseur de rêves Pour vivre l'aventure ailleurs Vivre l'aventure ailleurs Chasseur de rêves Chasseur de rêves... Hé! pourquoi tu cours dans le désert Dans la vapeur des moteurs chauds Si c'est pas pour gagner l'enfer Au paradis auto-moto? Accélère! ça passe, ça passe! Bloque l'aiguille au compteur Et pilote au tempo moteur Jolie mafia! Les machines infernales Se battent dans la poussière Au delà des frontières Mirages de voyageurs Faut tenir pour la victoire Faut tenir jusqu'à Dakar Chasseur de rêves Pour vivre l'aventure ailleurs Vivre l'aventure ailleurs Chasseur de rêves, chasseur de rêves Chasseur de rêves... Quand on lève la tête sous un soleil de plomb Parfois le temps s'arrête, le temps a raison L'eau est tiède mais là-bas c'est normal Le soleil a le poids du sommeil Au petit jour, café trop chaud Quelques mots... On r'part... L'étape c'est la dernière Les sourires sont fatigués Derniers kilomètres en plein cœur de la forêt On a rattrapé l'horizon On a tenu jusqu'à Dakar Chasseur de rêves Pour vivre l'aventure ailleurs Vivre l'aventure ailleurs Chasseur de rêves, L'aventure est loin Chasseur de rêves Chasseur de rêves Vivre l'aventure ailleurs Entre les hommes et l'équateur Chasseur de rêves Chasseur de rêves...

    and various other artists



    Ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh (Ooh-oo-ooh)
    Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
    Ahh, ah-ah-ah-ahh (Rag doll, ooh)
    Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

    (Hand-me-down) When she was just a kid her clothes were hand-me-down
    (Hand-me-down) They always laughed at her when she came into town
    Called her rag doll, little rag doll
    Such a pretty face should be dressed in lace

    Ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh (Ooh-oo-ooh)
    Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

    (Sad rag doll) I'd change her sad rags into glad rags if I could
    (If I could) My folks won't let me 'cause they say that she's no good
    She's a rag doll, such a rag doll
    Though I love her so, I can't let her know

    Ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh (Ooh-oo-ooh)
    Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
    Ahh, ah-ah-ah-ahh (Rag doll, ooh)
    I love you just the way you are

    A-ahh, ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ahh (Rag doll, ooh)
    Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
