Imbecile
Performer(s): Mike Batt



"With the eyes of a fool", he said
"You see the state you're in
And still you stumble through your stupid life
Still you laugh and grin
Vagabond on a winding road
That only leads you down
Blind to the dangers and dismay
That wipe the innocent smile away
From the face of a laughing clown"
Imbecile, you are acting like a fool again
In a world of thieves all ready to run you down
Imbecile, they are waiting till you make the first mistake
And you're going to make it
That's why I'll always call you an Imbecile
"You weren't always a sorcerer"
The Joker then replied
"It seems to me you learned it on the way
You lived by tricks and lies
Standing around in your juggler's gown
There seems no reason why
Flashing your eyes and casting spells
With candles and signs and magic bells
Oh, you are the fool, not I"
Imbecile, you can call me that if you feel the need
But life is short and I am living it while I can
If it rains, I'll get wet but in the sunshine I'll be dry
It is you who are foolish
Just 'cause I laugh don't call me an Imbecile
"We both are right" said the sorcerer
"And both of us are wrong
For though we walk this road we don't know where it leads
We only know it's long
You have something to learn from me
And I can learn from you
You with your jokes and simple plans
And me with my tricks and sleight of hands
Together we could get through"
Imbecile, we are dancing down a darkened road
Though the stars are out, not one of us knows the way
Imbeciles up ahead of us and millions more behind
And we're laughing and smiling
That's why I say we're all of us Imbeciles

Nå Må'ru Slutt' Opp Med å Se På Meg Sånn
English Title:
What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For?
Composer(s): Monaco; McCarthy;
Johnson; Mosnes
Performer(s): New Jordal Swingers


Nå må'ru slutt' opp med å se på meg sånn
Hvis det bare er på fleip
Du er for blid
Du driver forbi
Du får meg til å tenke ting jeg aldri tør si
Du leker en farlig lek nå
Du gjør meg varm og god, så stikker du avsted
Ja, bare fortsett sånn
Til snøret er helt i bånn
En dag vil du se
At leken tar overhånd
Så nå må'ru slutt' opp med å se på meg sånn
Hvis det bare er på fleip

Imán De Mujer
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Hoy tengo un día de ésos en que mandaría
todo a hacer puñetas
incluso firmaría con placer el acta
de mi rendición...
Diría "adiós a todo eso" como Graves
o incluso en plan asceta
me subiría a una columna en el desierto
como San Simón
O, como Onetti, acaso intentaría no dejar
jamás el lecho
o pillaría el primer vuelo al Himalaya
para hacerme Zen ..
Pero, maldita sea, cómo dar el salto
de lo dicho a lo hecho
contigo, ahí, desnuda, repitiéndome: 'amor mío
ven, ven, ven... 
Sólo por ti sigo aquí
imán de mujer, imán de mujer...
me voy a perder
pero sin salir de ti
Que el mundo fue y será una porquería
ya lo dijo Enrique Santos
y hoy tengo un día de esos en que sufro
toda esa poesía cruel
aunque que temo que yo mismo soy quien
me produzco más espanto
al verme comprendiendo las razones de Caín
matando a Abel
Me fugaría a Transilvania para convertirme
en un vampiro
para no ver tras el espejo al bicho infame
que dice ser yo...
Pero me abrazas y aún sabiendo que tus brazos
son un mal retiro
me tiro a tus infiernos donde habita
diablo que te re-creó...
Sólo por ti sigo aquí ...

Na Ilha De Lia, No Barco De Rosa
(Meio-Dia, Meia-Lua)
Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Edú Lobo
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Edú Lobo


Quando adormecia na ilha de Lia, meu Deus,
eu só vivia a sonhar
Que passava ao largo no barco de Rosa e queria aquela ilha abordar
Pra dormir com Lia que via que eu ia sonhar dentro do barco de Rosa
Rosa que se ria e dizia nem coisa com coisa

Era uma armadilha de Lia com Rosa com Lia, eu não podia escapar
Girava num barco num lago no centro da ilha num moinho do mar
Era estar com Rosa nos braços de Lia, era Lia com balanço de Rosa
Era tão real, era devaneio
Era meio a meio, meio Rosa, meio Lia, meio Rosa, meio-dia, meia-lua, meio Lia, meio

Era um partilha de Rosa com Lia com Rosa, eu não podia esperar
Na feira do porto, meu corpo minh'alma, meus sonhos vinham negociar
Era poesia nos pratos de Rosa, era prosa na balança de Lia
Era tão real, era devaneio
Era meio a meio, meio Lia, meio Rosa, meio Lia, meia-lua, meio-dia, meio Rosa, meio

Na ilha de Lia, de Lia, de Lia
No barco de Rosa, de Rosa, de Rosa

Imagine-Toi
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Imagine une nuit d'hiver
Des arbres morts, les bras ouverts
Une nuit profonde et glacée
Que tu est seul à traverser
Le vent a dû brûler tes mains
T'es presque à genoux quand soudain
Dans la nuit d'hiver que tu imagines
Se lève un feu sur la colline
Imagine, imagine-toi
Tu as moins peur, tu as moins froid
Imagine, imagine un peu
Comme la première fois que j'ai croisé ses yeux
Devant chez toi tout a vieilli
Tout a séché, tout a jauni
Le fleuve a fini de couler
Tout a tu peux l'imaginer
La terre craque et se divise
Le soleil brûle ta chemise
Tu crois que tout va disparaître
Quand tu entends une source naître
Imagine, imagine-toi
Tu as moins peur, tu as moins froid
Imagine, imagine un peu
Comme la première fois que j'ai croisé ses yeux
Tu fais la collection des femmes
Tu a fait un lac avec leurs larmes
Pour s'asseoir dans ta limousine
Elles se battent, j'imagine
Ton bonheur ressemble à l'hiver
À un paysage à l'envers
Tu as toujours peur, tu as toujours froid
Puisque tu ne la connais pas
Imagine, imagine-toi
Tu as moins peur, tu as moins froid
Imagine, imagine un peu
Comme la première fois que j'ai croisé ses yeux

Na Carreira
Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Edú Lobo
Performer(s): Chico Buarque


Pintar, vestir
Virar uma aguardente
Para a próxima função
Rezar, cuspir
Surgir repentinamente
Na frente do telão
Mais um dia, mais uma cidade
Pra se apaixonar
Querer casar
Pedir a mão

Saltar, sair
Partir pé ante pé
Antes do povo despertar
Pular, zunir
Como um furtivo amante
Antes do dia clarear
Apagar as pistas de que um dia
Ali já foi feliz
Criar raiz
E se arrancar

Hora de ir embora
Quando o corpo quer ficar
Toda alma de artista quer partir
Arte de deixar algum lugar
Quando não se tem pra onde ir

Chegar, sorrir
Mentir feito um mascate
Quando desce na estação
Parar, ouvir
Sentir que tatibitati
Que bate o coração
Mais um dia, mais uma cidade
Para enlouquecer
O bem-querer
O turbilhão

Bocas, quantas bocas
A cidade vai abrir
Pruma alma de artista se entregar
Palmas pro artista confundir
Pernas pro artista tropeçar

Voar, fugir
Como o rei dos ciganos
Quando junta os cobres seus
Chorar, ganir
Como o mais pobre dos pobres
Dos pobres dos plebeus
Ir deixando a pele em cada palco
E não olhar pra trás
E nem jamais
Jamais dizer
Adeus

Miroir, tu est cruel
Hier soir j'étais belle
Et ce matin
Je ne suis rien
Qu'une créature étrange

Miroir, à quoi tu sers?
Tu n'es pas sincère
Tu fais de moi
Ce que je vois
Ou un démon ou un ange

Imagine-moi plus loin
Avec les rides que fait le vie en chemin
Imagine-moi plus tard
Et fais-moi voir si j'attire un regard

Je manque de courage
J'ai peur de savoir
Est-ce que mon image
Sera encore mon amie

Plus tard

Miroir, tu sais mentir
C'est ça qui m'attire
Je cherche en toi
Une autre moi
Mon idéal ou le pire

Imagine-moi plus loin
Avec les rides que fait le vie en chemin
Imagine-moi plus tard
Et fais-moi voir si j'attire un regard

Sera encore mon amie plus tard

New York City ist die heißeste Stadt
Wenn man einen neuen Boyfriend
und ein Hotelzimmer hat
New York City ist mein Lieblingsplatz
Weil die Leute, die ich da kenne
die sind ein wahrer Schatz
Es ist immer tiefste Nacht
wenn wir durch die Clubs ziehen
Und es kommt mir vor, als wäre ich die Nightclub-Queen
Das ist die reine Wahrheit, und ich schwöre siebenfach
New York, ich will ein Penthouse, direkt unterm Dach
Und nach meiner Show, da bin ich immer so froh
Und alle gehen wir in die Disco
Eine Disco nach der anderen Disco
Und wackeln im Takt zum Rap
Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut nacht!
Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut nacht!
New York, New York

New York City ist die heißeste Stadt
Wenn man einen neuen Boyfriend und ein Hotelzimmer hat
New York City ist ein Ding für sich
Und ganz auch freilich ganz bestimmt ein Ding für mich
Ich glaube, ich schenke dir mein Herz
Ich liebe dich gar sehr
Ich kann gar nicht mehr ohne dich
Ich liebe dich immer mehr
Genauso liebe ich auch Berlin, und Amsterdam, und Hollywood
Und Eifersucht das ist eine Krankheit
Ich liebe alle
Alles Gute!

Und nach meiner Show, da bin ich immer so froh
Und alle gehen wir in die Disco
Eine Disco nach der anderen Disco
Und wackeln im Takt zum Rap
Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut nacht!
Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut nacht!
New York, New York

Imagine The Swan
Composer(s): Rod Argent; Chris White
Performer(s): The Zombies



Well I have a picture in color of you
And it's there in my room to remind me of you
So it was with surprise that I saw you today
And I did not recognize you, girl, what more can I say?

For the colors are gone
You've become kind of gray
And you're not like the swan
That I knew yesterday...

Now the pictures are wrong
You've become kind of gray
I imagine the swan
That you were yesterday...

The sadness that I felt was hard on my eyes
And the truth on my face was hard to disguse
So I let you walk by
I turned out of your way
And I tried to close my eyes
And let the sadness fall away...

For the colors are gone
You've become kind of gray
And you're not like the swan
That I knew yesterday...

Now the pictures are wrong
You've become kind of gray
I imagine the swan
That you were yesterday...

'N Hutje Op De Heide
Performer(s): Bobbejaan Schoepen


Ik vraag alleen een hutje op de heide
Daarbij een meisje en dat ben jij
Een zalig leven zal ik je geven
Heel dicht bij mij in ons hutje op de hei

Ik vraag alleen een stil geluk tesamen
Een kinderlach die hoort erbij
Jij blijft geborgen voor al m'n zorgen
Heel dicht bij mij in ons hutje op de hei

De grote stad trekt mij niet aan
Het is er druk, men gaapt je aan
Maar op de hei daar vind ik rust
En niemand ziet er hoe vaak ik je kus

Ik vraag alleen een hutje op de heide
Daarbij een meisje en dat ben jij
Een zalig leven zal ik je geven
Heel dicht bij mij in ons hutje op de hei

Ik vraag alleen een stil geluk tesamen
Een kinderlach die hoort erbij
Jij blijft geborgen voor al m'n zorgen
Heel dicht bij mij in ons hutje op de hei

Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang
Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang

Heavenly eyes come see the moon
I think it's shinin'
Or would you rather be up in my room
For wine and dinin'
Imagine me, imagine you
Inside each others mind what would we do?

Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang
Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang

Following lines around your palm
Your heart is huntin'
Don't you look any further
It's mine your wantin'
Imagine me, imagine you
Inside each others eyes what would we see?
Imagine me, imagine you
Inside each others arms what would we do?

Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang
Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang

'N Andere Wereld
Composer(s): A. Badalamenti;
M. Faithfull; Benny Neijman
Performer(s): Benny Neijman


Hij leeft zijn leven alleen in een andere wereld
Geen enkele wereld is mooier dan deze van hem
Hij leeft in zichzelf gekeerd met z'n eigen gedachten
En al wat ie hoort dringt toch niet door tot hem
Ze hebben het vaak geprobeerd, hij is niet te bereiken
Hij hoort wel de klank van hun stem maar kijkt dwars door ze heen
Leeft in zijn eigen wereld, leeft in zichzelf alleen
Maar als ie lacht, lacht ie naar iedereen

Hij ziet de dingen gewoon in heel andere kleuren
Hij vindt het mooi, 't is heel gewoon voor hem
Hij heeft genoeg aan zichzelf dus geen plaats voor een ander
Z'n woede, geluk of verdriet, hij verwerkt het alleen
Leeft in zijn eigen wereld, leeft in zichzelf alleen
Maar als ie lacht, lacht ie naar iedereen

Imagine Me In The Maginot Line
Composer(s): George Gifford; Cliffe; George Formby
Performer(s): George Formby



You should see me out in France wearing my tin hat
With shot and shell it's worse than – well it's even worse than that
Now imagine me in the Maginot Line
Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line
Now it's turned out nice again
The Army life is fine
French girls make a fuss of me
I'm not French as you can see
But I know what they mean when they say "oui, oui"
Down on the Maginot Line

Now imagine me in the Maginot Line
Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line
Now it's turned out nice again
The Army life is fine
The enemy we had to chase
But my gun got out of place
I went and shot the Colonel in the base
Down on the Maginot Line

Now imagine me in the Maginot Line
Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line
Now it's turned out nice again
The Army life is fine
At night, myself to sleep I sing
To my old tin hat I cling
I have to use it now for everything
Down on the Maginot Line

Now imagine me in the Maginot Line
Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line
Now it's turned out nice again
The Army life is fine
Suddenly a pain I felt
A doctor on my tummy knelt
He slapped a poultice underneath my belt
Right on the Maginot Line

Now imagine me in the Maginot Line
Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line
Now it's turned out nice again
The Army life is fine
Hitler can't kid us a lot
His secret weapon's tommyrot
But you ought to see what the sergeant's got
Down on the Maginot Line
Down on the Maginot Line

Composer(s): Bill Trader
First release by: Hank Snow - 1952
Covered by multiple other artists



(Now and then there's a fool such as I)

Pardon me, if I'm sentimental
When we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should I cry
When you're gone, yet I'll dream
A little dream as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love and now 
You say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I'll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I'll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I

First release by: John Lennon - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No hell below us, above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion, too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us, and the world will live as one

Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger or brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us, and the world will live as one

(No More) Fear Of Flying
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Gary Brooker


There was no more fear of flying 
Once the final words were spoke 
There was no more tears of crying 
It had all become a joke

Though they took a vow of silence 
Still the rumours quickly spread 
There was no more point in trying 
For the great affair was dead 

There was no more fear of flying 
There was no more fears and pain 
There was no more need for spying 
They had everything to gain 

There was no more fear of flying 
There was no more tortured brow 
They had dropped the safety curtain 
They had killed the sacred cow

There was everything to live for 
There was nothing to explain 
They had left the scene, triumphant 
They would live to fight again 

There was no more fear of flying 
There was no more fears and pain 
There was no more need for spying 
They had everything to gain

Imagination 
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Harry Reser's Syncopators - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists



Imagination is funny
It makes the cloudy day sunny
Makes the bee think of honey
Just as I think of you

Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy
What to do, what to do

Have you ever felt the gentle touch
And then a kiss, and then, and then
Find it’s only your imagination again
Oh, well

Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example, I go around wanting you
And yet I can’t imagine that you want me too

Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example, I go around wanting you
And yet I can’t imagine that you want me too

An Old-Fashioned Christmas
Composer(s): John Rimel
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers



These city streets seem cold and hard to me
Life here in the fast lane ain't my cup of tea
I can't get in the spirit here it seems
And when I go to sleep at night I often have this dream

Of an old fashioned Christmas with presents round the tree
A fire softly burning and you up close to me
With friends stopping by to help us share the cheer
For an old fashioned Christmas I'll be coming home this year

The city lights are fading out of sight
The snow is softly falling through the winter night
Coming home again feels so good
And once again Christmas feels just like it should

Let's have an old fashioned Christmas with presents round the tree
A fire softly burning and you up close to me
With friends stopping by to help us share the cheer
For an old fashioned Christmas I'll be coming home this year

Let's have an old fashioned Christmas
I'll be coming home this year

Imaginate Que Te Quiero
Composer(s): Miguel Bosé; Ross Cullum; Sandy McLelland; Andy Ross
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



Imaginate que soy todo valor
sueña tu que yo voy a abrir mi corazon
hay cosas que son secretos locos 
de un tipo que se muere por ti

Silencio a veces dudar 
atreverme a decir que te quiero
imaginate te quiero
sigue imaginandote
y que solo a ti

Imaginate que el mundo va a acabar
que al final del final
me quedas solo tu

hay cosas que son mil notas 
y son pequeñas pero grandes en ti
mil gotas que hacen un mar
que no puedo explicar imaginatelo
que te quiero
imaginate te quiero
sigue imaginandote 
y que solo a ti

imaginate que te quiero
sigue imaginandote te quiero

An Old Christmas Card 
Composer(s): Vaughn Horton
Performer(s): Jim Reeves;
and various other artists



There's an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk
And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me
'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree

I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card

You know, I don't know why I get to feeling sentimental about this time, every year
But every time I see a Christmas card, I somehow can't help reminiscing 
About the very first Christmas that you and I spent together 
What a beautiful Christmas card you gave me that year 
Why, I know you must have looked through thousands of cards 
to find that wonderful poem that still brings a tear to my eyes

I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card
