Strange Days
Composer(s): John Densmore - Robby Krieger - Ray Manzarek - Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors



Strange days have found us
Strange days have tracked us down
They're going to destroy
Our casual joys
We shall go on playing
Or find a new town

Yeah!

Strange eyes fill strange rooms
Voices will signal their tired end
The hostess is grinning
Her guests sleep from sinning
Hear me talk of sin
And you know this is it

Yeah!

Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
As we run from the day
To a strange night of stone

Yes, The River Knows
Composer(s): John Densmore; 
Robbie Krieger; Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors



Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, ooo

Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end
Yes, the river knows

Please believe me
If you don't need me
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in mysticated wine

Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, ooo

I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in mysticated wine

Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breathe under water 'till the end

Composer(s): Peter Nalitch
First performance by: Peter Nalitch & Friends - 2010



Would you believe, Lord of Mercy?
Would you be so... Lord, Lord?
I wanna love her now
And I wanna feel that now with all...
All of those kisses and sweet embraces
 
Here am I, lost and forgotten
For this cruel, cruel time
When I'm first time in love
(Now that is why)
Now that is why I say Lord of Mercy
And I hope now that you hear me
Oh yeah...
 
(What are you doing man?)
I'm looking at her photos
What should I do with them?
(Drop them into the fire)
Oh, yes, yes, I gonna burn 'em now
'Cause I have to forget her now with all...
All of those kisses and sweet embraces
 
Here am I, lost and forgotten
For this cruel, cruel time
When I'm first time in love
(Now that is why)
Now that is why I say Lord of Mercy
And I hope now that you hear me
Oh...
 
(Here am I, lost and forgotten)

Now that is why I say Lord of Mercy
And I hope now that you hear me
Oh, bring her back to me

Man nennt mich Miß Vane, die berühmte, bekannte
yes, Sir! (yes, Sir!)
Die nicht sehr beliebte, bei Onkel und Tante, no, Sir! (no, Sir!)
Man fürchtet, ich könnt' die behüteten Neffen im Spielsaloon
oder Himmelbett treffen möcht'
Ich könnt Sie verführen mit tausenden Listen 
zu etwas, das sie vielleicht doch noch nicht wüssten
Yes, Sir! (Yes, Sir!) Yes, Sir! (Yes, Sir!)
So bin ich am ganzen Leibe ich, so bin ich und so bleibe ich
Yes, Sir!

So wie ich hier stehe, so bin ich nun eben, yes, Sir! (yes, Sir!)
Die Schönheit ist mir nicht umsonst gegeben, no, Sir! (no, Sir!)
Die tausenden kleinen pikanten Histörchen, die leise geraunten Alkovenmärchen
Die sind nicht um sonst mir angedichtet, denn auch ein schlechter Ruf verpflichtet
Yes, Sir! (Yes, Sir!) Yes, Sir! La, la, la, la, la, la
So bin ich am ganzen Leibe ich, so bin ich und so bleibe ich
Yes, Sir!

Und muss ich mein irdisches Gastspiel beenden, yes, Sir! (so!)
Sollt ihr euch nicht gleichgültig von mir wenden, no, Sir! (no, Sir!)
Ich habe geliebt, und ich habe geküsst, weil die Liebe doch dazu erfunden ist
Wie alle 's auch hier tun seit tausenden Jahren, nur darf man um
Gottes will'n nichts erfahren
No! (No, Sir!) Yes, Sir! (Yes, Sir!) Halleluja
Yes, Sir!

If he holds me tight, mama darling, and my knees just turn to water

Yes, My Darling Daughter
Composer(s): Stanley Adams; Harry Waren



Yes, my darling daughter
Listen to your mother and listen well!
After all, suppose a man is witty
Don't just fall because his talk is pretty
Yes, my darling daughter
Never mind a flower in his lapel
Wait and see, you'll find a lad
As sweet as your dad
And then how glad you'll be

Yes, my darling daughter
You may kiss a little, but all in fun
Don't just fall for any handsome hero
After all, he may add up to zero
Yes, my darling daughter
Go and dance, but hurry right home at one
Don't be free, but honey
If his father has money
Then come home by three

Strange Brew

Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you

She's a witch of trouble in electric blue 
In her own mad mind she's in love with you
With you
Now what you gonna do? 
Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you

She's some kind of demon messing in the glue
If you don't watch out it'll stick to you
To you
What kind of fool are you? 
Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you

On a boat in the middle of a raging sea
She would make a scene for it all to be 
Ignored
And wouldn't you be bored? 
Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you

Strange brew, strange brew, strange brew, strange brew
Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you

Strange
Composer(s): Marvin Fisher - John LaTouche
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists



Strange how your dangerous eyes compel me
Although they tell me to beware
And it's so strange how you change
Every dull humdrum thing
Making it something sweet and rare

Is this a game you're enjoying with me
Are you toying with me, is this romance
If by some chance you arrange
To return even half of my love
I won't ask why love, it's so strange

Is this a game you're enjoying with me
Are you toying with me, is this romance
If by some chance you arrange
To return even half of my love
I won't ask why love, it's so strange

Yes I Do
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens



Is it yes or is it no
What's a man supposed to do
Tell me no I don't or yes I do

Do I cry much (yes I do)
Long for your touch (yes I do)
Do I trust you or feel blue
No I don't and Yes I do

Should I leave you (yes I should)
Or decieve you (yes I could)
Do I cheat or see it through
No I don't and yes I do

Oh I don't know what I say
Guess I do hurt more each day
Still I know that feeling blue
Is better than being without you

Do I Like it (no I don't)
Will I walk out (no I won't)
Do I leave or still love you
No I don't and yes I do

No I don't
(Yes I do)
No I don't
(Yes I do)

(Instrumental Break)

Why'd you treat me bad this way
Why do you hurt me more each day
Still I know that feeling blue
Is better than living without you

Do I Like it (no I don't)
Will I walk out (no I won't)
Do I leave or still love you
No I don't and yes I do

Ohhh
Do I cry much (yes I do)
Long for your touch (yes I do)
Do I leave or still love you
No I don't and yes I do

Should I leave you (yes I should)
Or decieve you (yes I could)
Do I cheat or see it through
No I don't and yes I do

No I don't and yes I do

Sweet People
Composer(s): Borys Kukoba - Olena Kucher - Vadim Lisitsa
First performance by: Alyosha - 2010



Oh, sweet people
What have we done?
Tell me what is happening?
For all that we've built
Tumbles and is gone
 
Oh, sweet people
Have you no love for mankind?
Must you go on killing
Just to pass the time?
 
The message is so true
The end is really near
All these feelings take me down
It steals the things so dear
 
Yes, the message is so real
Don't turn all the earth to stone
Because, because, because
This is your home
 
Oh, sweet people
What about our children?
In theatres and video games
They watch what we send to ruin
 
Oh, sweet people
What senseless game
Have we all been playing?
No one but you to blame?
 
The message is so true
The end is really near
All these feelings take me down
It steals the things so dear
 
Yes, the message is so real
Don't turn all the earth to stone
Because, because, because
This is your home
 
This is our home

Yes! We Have No Bananas
Composer(s): Frank Silver; Irving Cohn
Performer(s): Billy Jones;
and various other artists



There's a fruit store on our street
It's run by a Greek.
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak!
When you ask him anything, he never answers "no"
He just "yes"es you to death, and as he takes your dough
He tells you
"Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today
We've string beans, and onions
Cabbageses, and scallions,
And all sorts of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned to-mah-to
A Long Island po-tah-to
But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today"

Business got so good for him that he wrote home today
"Send me Pete and Nick and Jim; I need help right away"
When he got them in the store, there was fun, you bet
Someone asked for "sparrow grass" and then the whole quartet
All answered
"Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today
Just try those coconuts
Those walnuts and doughnuts
There ain't many nuts like they
We'll sell you two kinds of red herring
Dark brown, and ball-bearing
But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today"

Yes, we are very sorry to inform you
That we are entirely out of the fruit in question
The afore-mentioned vegetable
Bearing the cognomen "Banana"
We might induce you to accept a substitute less desirable
But that is not the policy at this internationally famous green grocery
I should say not
No no no no no no no
But may we suggest that you sample our five o'clock tea
Which we feel certain will tempt your pallet?
However we regret that after a diligent search 
Of the premises
By our entire staff
We can positively affirm without fear of contradiction
That our raspberries are delicious; really delicious
Very delicious
But we have no bananas today

Yes, we gotta no banana
No banana
We gotta no banana today
I sella you no banana
Hey, Marianna, you gotta no banana?
Why this man, he no believe-a what I say
Now whatta you want mister?
You wanna buy twelve for a quarter?
No? well, just a oneofadozen?
I'm-a gonna calla my daughter
Hey, Marianna
You gotta piana
Yes, banana, no
No, yes, no bananas today
We gotta no bananas
Yes, we gotta no bananas today

Stranded In The Jungle
Composer(s): James Johnson - Ernestine Smith
First release by: The Jayhawks - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists



I crashed in the jungle while trying to keep a date
With my little girl who was back in the States
I was stranded in the jungle, afraid, alone
Trying to figure a way to get a message back home
But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane
Had been picked up and spotted and my girl in Lover's Lane

Meanwhile, back in the States

Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle, sad as he can be
So come on pretty baby, just you and me

Meanwhile, back in the jungle

The boys in the jungle had me on the run
When something heavy hit me like an atomic bomb
When I woke up and my head started to clear
I had a strange feeling I was cooking gear
I smelled something cooking and I looked to see
That's when I found out they was cookin' me
Ooga booga, lemme outta here!

Meanwhile, back in the States

Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle sad as he can be
So come on pretty baby just you and me

Meanwhile, back in the jungle

I jumped out of the pot, I finally got away
I was frantic, worried about what my baby would say
So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim
My chance of surviving was gettin' slim
So I thumbed down a whale that was headed my way
And I reached the States in about half a day
When I got to Lover's Lane I was almost dead
Heard him talkin' to my baby, and this is what he said

Baby, baby, the man's no good
Baby, baby, should have understood
You can trust me just as long as you please
So come back pretty baby where you used to be
'Cause I love you (I love you, I love you, you're fine baby)
'Cause I love you (So damn fine)
'Cause I love you (I got a job; I have money too)
'Cause I love you (Did I show you my vehicle)
'Cause I love you (I'll take you for a ride)
'Cause I love you

Yes We Can Can
Composer(s): Allen Toussaint
Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters;
and various other artists



Now's the time for all good men
To get together with one another
We got to iron out our problems
And iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
And try to find a piece of land
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Remember you all have mothers
We got to make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And we got to help each man be a better man
With the kindness that we give
I know we can make it
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna get together we can work it out

And we gotta take care of all the children
The little children of the world
'Cause they're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls

We got to make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And we got to help each man be a better man
With the kindness that we give
I know we can make it
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna, yes we can can

First performance by: Hera Björk - 2010



I am standing strong, I've overcome the sadness in my life
Now I look up and see the brightest sky above me
And it's reflecting in your eyes
 
Je ne sais quoi, I know you have a special something
Je ne sais quoi, oh, something I just can't explain
And when I see your face, I wanna follow my emotions
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
 
When the clouds are gone the stars come out around us, shining
And all that we see is the love, our hearts aligned together
Tell me, do you feel the same?
 
Je ne sais quoi, I know you have a special something
Je ne sais quoi, oh... something I just can't explain
And when I see your face, I wanna follow my emotions
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
 
I just love this crazy feeling
It's like I've known you all my life
Je ne sais quoi
 
Je ne sais quoi, I know you have a special something
Je ne sais quoi, oh... something I just can't explain
And when I see your face, I wanna follow my emotions
