The Wild One, Forever
Composer(s): Tom Petty
Performer(s): Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers



Well the moon sank as the wind blew 
The street lights slowly died 
They call you the wild one, said stay 'way from her 
Said she could love no one if she tried 

But then somethin' I saw 
In your eyes told me right away 
That you were gonna have to be mine 
When the strangest feeling came over me 
Down inside no matter what it takes 
I'll never get over how good it felt 
When you finally held m e 
I'll never regret 
Baby those few hours 
Will grow in my head 
Forever 

Well it's too bad, but I want you 
To know I understand 
Yeah, it's been a long time but I don't mind 
Yeah, it's all right I understand 

Beca use somethin' I saw 
In your eyes told me right away 
That you were gonna have to be mine 
When the strangest feeling came over me 
Down inside I knew right away 
I'll never get over how good it felt 
When you finally kissed me 
I'll never regret 
Baby those few hours 
Will grow in my head 
Forever

If You're So Smart, How Come You Ain't Rich? - 1951
French Title: Comment T'es Devenu Riche? - 1985
Composer(s): Walter Bishop; Norman Friedman
First release by: Louis Jordan - 1951



You' braggin all about the things you can do
Every time you make a pitch
If you're so smart
How come you ain't rich?
You claim to have picked every horse that won
'Cause you know just which is which
Yes, if you're so smart
Tell me, how come you ain't rich?

Henry built the Ford and made his pile
Woolworth used his five and ten
Rockerfeller's wealth came from Standard Oil
And Waterman's came from a pen
You claim it all came from consultin' you
Isn't that a brand new switch?
If you're so smart
How come you ain't rich?

Mention work and you go berserk
'Cause you hate to do a stitch
If you're so smart
How come you ain't rich?
You're out for a ride on the road to fame
Yet you wind up in a ditch
Mmm-hmm - if you're so smart
Tell me, how come you ain't rich?

Hershey started with a chocolate bar
Wrigley with a stick of gum
Planters took his peanuts and travelled far
Now tell me - what'you doin', chum?
I' been hearin' all about all your big ideas
Since you started 
What's the hitch?
You never made ten dollars yet
You say you can balance the national debt
If you're so smart
How come you ain't rich?

There was a wild colonial boy, Jack Duggan was his name
He was born and raised in Ireland, in a place called Castlemaine
He was his father's only son, his mother's pride and joy
And dearly did his parents love the wild colonial boy

At the early age of sixteen years he left his native home
And to Australia's sunny shore, he was inclined to roam
He robbed the rich, he helped the poor, he shot James MacEvoy
A terror to Australia was, the wild colonial boy

One morning on the prairie, as Jack he rode along
A-listening to the mocking bird, a-singing a cheerful song
Up stepped a band of troopers: Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy
They all set out to capture him, the wild colonial boy

Surrender now, Jack Duggan, for you see we're three to one
Surrender in the King's high name, you are a plundering son
Jack drew two pistols from his belt, he proudly waved them high
I'll fight, but not surrender, said the wild colonial boy

He fired a shot at Kelly, which brought him to the ground
And turning round to Davis, he recieved a fatal wound
A bullet pierced his proud young heart, from the pistol of Fitzroy
And that was how they captured him, the wild colonial boy 

Comment T'en Apercevoir
Performer(s): France Gall



Le monde est là qui vient qui va
Et qui tourne sans toi
Mais tu sais il n'attendra pas
Un signe de toi
Donner c'est mieux que recevoir
Essaie un peu pour voir
Pour mieux supporter les heures du soir
Les heures de cafard
De désespoir

Comment, comment t'en apercevoir
Si tu restes toute seule dans le noir
Comment, comment t'en apercevoir
Si tu restes toute seule devant ton miroir

Quand tu vois tous ces gens passer
Sans les regarder
Sans même un jour avoir l'idée
D'aller leur parler
Tu sens le froid de l'hiver passer
Et tu restes enfermée
Tu voudrais rire ou bien danser
Et ne plus penser
Quand dehors c'est l'été

Comment, comment t'en apercevoir
Si tu restes toute seule dans le noir
Comment, comment t'en apercevoir
Si tu restes toute seule devant ton miroir

Roma Capoccia
Composer(s): Antonello Venditti
Performer(s): Antonello Venditti; Claudio Villa



Quanto sei bella Roma quand'e' sera
quando la luna se specchia
dentro ar fontanone
e le coppiette se ne vanno via
quanto sei bella Roma quando piove

Quanto sei bella Roma quand'e' er tramonto
quando l'arancio rosseggia
ancora sui sette colli
e le finestre so' tanti occhi
che te sembrano dì: quanto sei bella

Oggi me sembra che
er tempo se sia fermato qui
vedo la maestà der Colosseo
vedo la santità der cupolone
e so' piu' vivo e so' più bbono
no nun te lasso mai
Roma capoccia der mondo infame
na carrozzella va co du stranieri
un robivecchi te chiede un po'de stracci
li passeracci so'usignoli
io ce so'nato Roma
io t'ho scoperta stamattina

(Adapted from: The Wild Colonial Boy - 1881)

(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Pogues & The Dubliners - 1990



They wear green
And they are beautiful
And their hearts are filled with love
They're as pure as any lily
And as gentle as the dove
They'll sing and cheer in harmony
Till their throats are cracked & sore
But there is no doubt
You'll hear them shout
When Jackie's heroes score
Too-ra-loo Too-ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
They'll come from Dublin
And from Cork, from dear old Donegal
From London, Boston, & New York
From anywhere at all
From Parramatta to Fermoy
Strabane to Skibereen
(And will) the shout go up
When the World Cup
Is raised on Stephens Green
(Yes it will)
And when we're there in Italy
On Sardinia's sunny shore
We'll be the boys you'll want to see
The boys you'll all adore
We'll play like perfect gentlemen
To win, to lose, to draw
For we're here to take the World Cup
To Paddy's shamrock shore

Sous aucun pretexte
Je ne veux
Avoir de reflexes
Malheureux
Il faut que tu m'expliques
Un peu mieux 
Comment te dire adieu 

Mon coeur de silex 
Vite prend feu
Ton coeur de pyrex
Resiste au feu 
Je suis bien perplexe
Je ne veux 
Me resoudre aux adieus 

Je sais bien qu'un ex amour n'a pas de chance, ou si peu
Mais pour moi un explication voudrait mieux 

Sous aucun pretexte 
Je ne veux 
Devant toi surexposer mes yeux
Derrière un kleenex
Je saurais mieux
Comment te dire adieu 
Comment te dire adieu

Tu as mis a l'index nos nuits blanches, nos matins gris-bleu 
Mais pour moi un explication voudrait mieux 

Sous aucun pretexte
Je ne veux
Devant toi surexposer mes yeux 
Derrière un kleenex
Je saurais mieux 
Comment te dire adieu 
Comment te dire adieu

Ev'rything she does is where it's at

Though she's quite a size, still she hypnotises me
Like a big balloon, she'll be floating soon to me

Oh, if she were thin and without a double chin
There wouldn't be so much for me to love

Wild Boys
Composer(s): Simon LeBon - Nick Rhodes - Andy Taylor - John Taylor - Roger Taylor
First release by: Duran Duran - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists



The wild boys are calling
On their way back from the fire
An august moon's surrender to 
A dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered 
On the razors edge you trail
Because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world

They tried to break us, 
Looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

You got sirens for a welcome 
There's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while 
You're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory
Where is all you angels 
Now the figureheads have fell
And lovers war with arrows over 
Secrets they could tell

They tried to tame you 
Looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

Det är alltid svårt att ta farväl
Men det finns ett måste likaväl
Om du kunde stanna här ändå
Så synd du måste gå
Sommarnatten är så ljuv men kort
Redan drar den sista skuggan bort
Redan färgas sommarhimlen blå
Så synd du måste gå

Se solen igen
Och jag önskar att vi fick gå
I solen, min vän
Hela livet vi två

Det lär vara ljuvt, ja underbart
Sällan mötas och att skiljas snart
Jag vill ha dej kvar hos mej ändå
Så synd du måste gå
Så synd du måste gå

Se solen igen
Och jag önskar att vi fick gå
I solen, min vän
Hela livet vi två

Det lär vara ljuvt, ja underbart
Sällan mötas och att skiljas snart
Jag vill ha dej kvar hos mej ändå
Så synd du måste gå
Så synd du måste gå
Så synd du måste gå

Roly Poly eatin' corn and taters
Hungry every minute of the day
Roly Poly gnawin' on a biscuit
As long as he can chew it it's okay

He can eat an apple pie and never even bat an eye
He likes anything from soup to hay
Roly Poly,
Daddy's little fatty
I bet he's going to be a man some day

Roly Poly, scrambled eggs for breakfast
Bread and jelly twenty times a day
Roly Poly, eats a hearty dinner
He needs lots strength to sing and play

He's up at dawn to do the chores
Runs both ways to all the stores
He works up an appetite that way
Ro-oly Poly
Daddy's little fatty
Fatty's going to be a man some day

The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
Performer(s): Tom Lehrer



Do you remember the night I held you so tight
As we danced to the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz? 
The music was gay, and the setting was Viennese
Your hair wore some roses, or perhaps they were peonies 
I was blind to your obvious faults 
As we danced 'cross the scene to the strains of the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz! 

Oh I drank some champagne from your shoe, la-la-la
I was drunk by the time I got through, la-la-la
For I didn't know, as I raised that cup
It had taken two bottles to fill the thing up... 

It was I who stepped on your dress, la-la-la 
The skirts all came off I confess, la-la-la
Revealing for all of the others to see
Just what it was that endeared you to me... 

I remember the night I held you so tight
As we danced to the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz
Your lips were like wine, if you'll pardon the Simile 
The music was lovely and quite Rudolf Frim'ly
I drank wine, you drank chocolate malts
And we both turned quite green to the strains of the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz!

This is the hour of parting, soon I must sail away
Now while the teardrops are starting just one more time let me say

Take me in your arms and hold me tight
tell me that your love is mine tonight
Say that everything will turn out right
It hurts to say goodbye

Let me know the thrill of your embrace
memories that time cannot erase
While I kiss the teardrops from your face
it hurts to say goodbye

Wherever you are you will always be near to me
Wherever I go you'll be in my heart

'Til the sun comes shining thru again
'til we see a sky of blue again
'Til I'm back with you, my love, 'til then
it hurts to say goodbye

Wherever you are you will always be near to me
Wherever I go you'll be in my heart

'Til the sun comes shining thru again
'til we see a sky of blue again
'Til I'm back with you, my love, 'til then
it hurts to say goodbye
'Til I'm back with you, my love
it hurts to say goodbye

The Widow Of Westmorland's Daughter
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Fairport Convention
and multiple other artists



There was an old widow in Westmorland who had no daughter but one
And she has prayed both night and day she should keep her maidenhead long
"Ah, don't be daft, mother," she said, "and say no more to me
For a fine young man in the Grenadier Guards my maidenhead's taken from me"
"You saucy cat, you impudent cat, a-cursed may you be
If some idle rogue in the Grenadier Guards your maidenhead's taken from thee"
But the girlie's off to the Grenadier Guards as fast as go can she
Saying "Give me back my maidenhead, my mother she nags at me"
So he kissed her and undressed her and he laid her on the bed
And he put her head where her feet were before and gave back her maidenhead
Then he kissed her and he dressed her with a rose in either hand
Invited her round to St. Mary's church to see his fine wedding
Oh, the girlie's off to her mammy's house as fast as go can she
"I'm as full a maiden, mammy dear, as the day you first bore me
He kissed me and undressed me and he laid me on the bed
Put my head where my feet were before and he gave back my maidenhead
Then he kissed me and he dressed me, put a rose in either hand and
Invited me round to St. Mary's church to see his fine wedding
"Ah, never on foot," her mammy she said, "in a carriage and pair you'll ride
With four and twenty fine young girls to go with you beside"
"Ah, who is this?" the bride she said, "She comes so high to me"
"I see it is the widow's daughter who ran home and told her mammy"
"How could she do it, how would she do it, how could she do it for shame?
Eleven long nights I lay with a man and I never told anyone"
"If eleven long nights you lay with a man, you never shall lie with me
I'd rather marry the widow's daughter who ran home and told her mammy"

Quand s'en va le dernier soleil d'automne
Il vient chauffer encore les feuilles mortes
Sur les derniers colchiques il s'abandonne
Avant que les froids de Novembre ne l'emporte
Toi, si tu veux comprendre la tendresse
Donne-toi comme lui, donne-toi

Mais comment te dire
Mais comment t'apprendre
L'amour sans amour n'est plus rien
Laisse-toi conduire
Et cherche à comprendre
Et reviens me tendre la main
{2x}

Vas regarder comment la terre aride
S'ouvre pour embrasser les grandes pluies d'été
Et quand tu l'auras vu, tu seras riche
Alors tu reviendras me chercher

Mais comment te dire
Mais comment t'apprendre
L'amour sans amour n'est plus rien
Laisse-toi conduire
Et cherche à comprendre
Et reviens me tendre la main
{3x}

Comment T'appelles-Tu?
Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac



Elle écrase sa cigarette
Et recouche sa poupée, n'a plus peur
De ces quelques mots d'amour
Qui me venaient du fond du coeur
Et la fumée monte en moi comme un petit matin
Où le soleil reviendrait
Nous parler d'éternité
 
Elle caresse les fleurs
Amoureuse de la vie, elle s'en va
Apprivoiser les renards
Qui dorment seuls dans les sous-bois
Et son parfum monte en moi comme un vieux souvenir
Qui s'accroche à la mémoire
Et empêche de vieillir
 
Mais comment t'appelles-tu
Je ne me rappelle plus
Entre la tendresse et la mort

Je perds le nord
N'avais-tu pas disparu?
Je ne t'avais pas revue
Je n'avais que mes remords
Pour vivre encore
 
Elle me recueille des yeux
Là tout au creux de sa main
Et je pars, me poser sur son visage
La mort est douce au fond des pleurs
Et j'irais lui chercher la lune
Pour veiller son sommeil
Et je crois bien que je l'aime
Que c'est bon la vérité
 
Mais comment t'appelles-tu
Je ne me rappelle plus
Entre la tendresse et la mort
Je perds le nord
N'avais-tu pas disparu?
Je ne t'avais pas revue
Je n'avais que mes remords
Pour vivre encore
 
Elle écrase sa cigarette
Ne se souvient plus très bien qu'il pleuvait
Me caresse le visage,
Me dit j'ai peur quand tu t'en vas
Puis elle parle au soleil, et c'est le sable chaud
Et je crois bien que je l'aime
Mais à quoi servent les mots?
 
Dis comment t'appelles-tu
Je ne me rappelle plus
Entre la tendresse et la mort
Je perds le nord
Ne disparais jamais plus
Je crois t'avoir reconnue
Et puis je crois que tu m'aimes
Et moi, je n'aimerai plus
