Su Di Noi Composer(s): E. Ghinazzi - P. Barabani - D. Milani Performer(s): Pupo
Su di noi ci avresti scommesso tu su di noi mi vendi un sorriso tu se lo vuoi cantare, sognare, sperare così Su di noi gli amici dicevano no, vedrai, è tutto sbagliato Su di noi nemmeno una nuvola su di noi l'amore è una favola su di noi se tu vuoi volare lontano dal mondo, portati dal vento non chiedermi dove si va Noi due respirando lo stesso momento per fare l'amore qua e là Mi stavi vicino e non mi accorgevo di quanto importante eri tu adesso ci siamo, fai presto, ti amo non perdere un attimo in più Su di noi nemmeno una nuvola su di noi l'amore è una favola su di noi se tu vuoi volare... Su di noi ancora una volta dai su di noi se tu vuoi volare ti porto lontano nei campi di grano che nascono dentro di me Nei sogni proibiti di due innamorati nel posto più bello che c'è Lontano dal mondo, portati dal vento respira la tua libertà giocare un momento poi corrersi incontro per fare l'amore qua e là Su di noi nemmeno una nuvola su di noi l'amore è una favola su di noi se tu vuoi volare... Mi stavi vicino e non mi accorgevo di quanto importante eri tu adesso ci siamo, fai presto, ci siamo non perdere un attimo in più Su di noi, ancora una volta dai su di noi, di te non mi stanco mai Su di noi, ancora una volta dai su di noi, di te non mi stanco mai Noi, solo noi, su di noi, solo noi noi, solo noi, su di noi, solo noi
You Better Move On ((German Version: Es Ist Besser, Du Gehst (Drafi Deutscher)) Composer(s): Arthur Alexander First release by: Arthur Alexander - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love You tell me, I'm not the man she's worthy of But who are you to tell her who to love? That's up to her, yes, and the Lord above You better move on
Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes But I believe she's happy with me without those things Still you beg me to set her free But my friend, that will never be You better move on
Now I don't blame you for loving her But can't you understand, man, she's my girl And I, never never ever gonna let her go `Cuz I, yeah, I love her so
I think you better go now , I'm getting mighty mad You ask me to give up the only love I've ever had Maybe I would, oh, but I love her so I'm never gonna let her go You better move on
And There Were Shepherds Composer(s): Johann Sebastian Bach Performer(s): Robert Shaw
And there were shepherds in the same country Abiding in the field, keeping watch by night over their flock And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them And the glory of the Lord shone round about them And they were sore afraid And the angel said to them...
Be not afraid Behold, for I bring good tidings of great joy Which shall be to all the people For unto you this day a Saviour is born Which is Christ the Lord, in the city of David
Break forth, O beauteous heav'nly light And usher in the morning Ye shepherds, shrink not with affright But hear the angel's warning
This child, now weak in infancy Our confidence and joy shall be The power of Satan breaking Our peace eternal making

Style Kills Composer(s): Gary Numan - Robert Palmer Performer(s): Robert Palmer
I see you got yourself a brand new bag You had enough of the imitation drag Although you're leaping to the latest thing You can't ignore the suspicion of a hallow ring Big bills Cheap thrills Style kills You say you set your standards way too high So you convincingly effect a compromise Some unsuspecting body's gonna pay When you discover that you can't always Have your way Big pain, big pills, style kills If he won't you will style kills You say your lover's gotta a lot of nerve 'Cause he won't keep you in the style that you deserve You kid yourself you're only marking time Till you fulfill the revenge in the back Of your mind Clear out, no frills, style kills You never take the blame for your mistakes Why should you give anyone an even break If he won't - you will style kills
You Belong To The City Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Jack Tempchin Performer(s): Glenn Frey; Eric Carmen; Eagles
The sun goes down The night rolls in You can feel it starting all over again The moon comes up And the music calls You're getting tired of staring at the same four walls You're out of your room And down on the street You can feel the crowds through the midnight heat The traffic roars And the sirens scream You look at the faces, its just like a dream
You don't know where you're going You don't care where you've been
'Cause you belong to the city You belong to the night living in a river of darkness, beneath the neon light You belong to the city you belong to the street Its in your moves, its in your blood You're a man of the street
When you said goodbye You were on the run Tryin' to get away from the things you'd done Now you're back again And you're feeling strange So much has happened, but nothing has changed
You still don't know where you're going Nobody cares where you've been
'Cause you belong to the city...
You can see it You can face it You can feel it You can taste it You can hear it You're getting near it You're gonna make it 'Cause you can take it
An Angel Came Down Composer(s): Paul O'Neill - Jon Oliva Performer(s): Trans-Siberian Orch.
An angel came down one night to the earth A mission from God to find out the worth Of everything that His children had done Since that winter night, the birth of His son
And then a sound filled the night in the cold winter air And in the midst of his flight it was holding him there And as he looked towards the Earth for the source of this sound On that cold winter night, it was pulling him down
To bring something back this angel was told That no one could touch, but angels could hold So on that night, when the sky had cleared Among all the stars an angel appeared
And then a sound filled the night in the cold winter air And in the midst of his flight it was holding him there And as he looked towards the Earth for the source of this sound On that cold winter night, it was pulling him down
An angel returned that night through the sky But time it was short, he had to decide And so as he flew back over the land A gift for his Lord was there in his hand
It was the glow of a light, it was the heart of a song It was the tear of a child where they never belonged It was the wish of a soul on an old neon light And the Lord smiled at him on that cold winter night
Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Here the bells ring through the night
Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Hear as they ring through the night
Listen to the bells as they ring, listen to the message they bring Listen to the sound as they sing as one voice in the night Hoping that we'll all understand every dream we have's in our hands And for every bell may they ring all through the night
Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Hear as they ring through the night
Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Here as they ring through the night
Listen to the bells as they ring, listen to the message they bring Listen to the sound as they sing as one voice in the night Hoping that we'll all understand every dream we have's in our hands And for every bell may they ring all through your life
And so with his story over and our bottle nearly through I asked, "Did this really happen?" He swore every word was true Then he said, "I see you're puzzled, for your mind tells you to doubt me That my story can't be true, but your heart tells you it might be"
He then asked, did it entertain me and I admitted it had charm Then he said, "Perhaps you have learned something, or at worst I've done no harm" Then he rose up from his chair and he said it's time that he should leave "But may God keep and protect you this and every Christmas Eve"
Then he left through the front door and I ran out to ask him back But he was already gone and stranger still, he left no tracks So I walked back to my home recalling all I'd heard and seen And for the first time since my childhood, that night I dreamed a Christmas dream

You belong to my heart Now and forever And our love had its start Not long ago

Now we own all the stars and a million guitars are still playing Darling, you are the song and you'll always belong to my heart

Rock Star's Lament Composer(s): Shel Silverstein - Fred Koller Performer(s): Bobby Bare
I have pawned my golden records I have sold my sequent suits For a bottle of rye whiskey I gave up my fancy boots Now I stand here on the corner with a sad sad tale to tell Once a rock star now a drunker with no song left to sell
Hide a face you might remember hide a voice you may recall T' was that cold night in December when we played Carnegie Hall Now we're smokin' marijuana singin' flat but doin' well Till I took my first drink of whiskey we started down the road to hell
I have pawned my golden records I have sold my sequent suits For a bottle of rye whiskey I gave up my fancy boots Now I stand here on the corner with a sad sad tale to tell Once a dopefiend now a drunker with no song left to sell
Once a rock star now a drunker with no song left to sell With no song left to sell...
