Needle Of Death Composer(s): Bert Jansch Performer(s): Bert Jansch; and various other artists
When sadness fills your heart And sorrow hides the longing to be free When things go wrong each day You fix your mind to 'scape your misery
Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death
How strange, your happy words Have ceased to bring a smile from everyone How tears have filled the eyes Of friends that you once had walked among
Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death
One grain of pure white snow Dissolved in blood spread quickly to your brain In peace your mind withdraws Your death so near your soul can't feel no pain
Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death
Your mother stands a'cryin' While to the earth your body's slowly cast Your father stands in silence Caressing every young dream of the past
Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death
Through ages, man's desires To free his mind, to release his very soul Has proved to all who live That death itself is freedom for evermore
And your troubled young life Will make you turn To a needle of death
In Vista Della Sera Composer(s): Camillo Castellari; Corrado Castellari Performer(s): Mina
La nostra vita, sentimentale è è naturale definita né troppo vuota né troppo piena qualche traguardo irraggiungibile non è un problema sei stato l'uomo che ho amato sempre da principiante poi come amante sei stato quello che ho difeso più volentieri quando tradivi l'uomo che eri e si apre il mio giorno in vista della sera il momento in cui tu mi manchi di più e la città è già un prodigio ma quale buio, quale grigio luci accese come su di noi e si accende il mio giorno in vista della sera il momento in cui tu mi manchi di più l'ora in cui vai così distante so che non è cambiato niente succede che mi perdo senza te sei stato l'uomo che ho amato sempre senza far drammi, teneramente sei stato quello per cui ho fatto di testa mia lucidamente con fantasia e si chiude il mio giorno in vista della sera il pensiero di te so bene cos'è tra la città che mi è piaciuta piena di gente disincantata che torna insieme come me e te ora ha un senso il mio giorno in questa vita mia che io vivo per te soltanto per te e se un'idea m' è balenata che quasi quasi m'ha infastidita non c'entra più, qua conti solo tu ora sto ferma ad ascoltare tu quello che ho voglia di sentire non c'entra più, qua conti solo tu
In Too Deep Composer(s): Joel Hirschhorn; Al Kasha; Michael Lloyd Performer(s): Maureen McGovern
The night bird is dyin' And, baby, there's no denyin' Too far gone to escape, to pull myself free (pull myself free) Now, I'm tryin', tryin' hard to get back How I'm dyin' tryin' hard to get back But it's too far, but it's too far to climb
'Cause I'm in too deep Fallin' down through the dark and it's drivin' me crazy I'm in too deep All the feel of the pain and it's drivin' me crazy
Trusted you without thinkin' I didn't, didn't notice that I was sinkin' Never thought I could lose what I've given in (I've given in) How I'm needin', needin' to be near you How I'm bleedin' just needin' to be near you When all I wanted, all I wanted was you
'Cause I'm in too deep Fallin' down through the dark and it's drivin' me crazy I'm in too deep All the feel of the pain and it's drivin' me crazy
I'm in too deep Down a bottomless well, I'm a-shellin', I'm fallin' I'm in too deep In a dark, cold cell, and you can't hear me callin' I'm in (in) too deep (too deep) It's a bottomless well that I find myself down in I'm in (in) too deep (too deep) In a dark, empty cell, I'm a-shellin', I'm drownin' (In too deep, ah ah ah) (In too deep, ah ah ah, crazy)
'Cause I'm in too deep Fallin' down through the dark and it's drivin' me crazy I'm in too deep All the feel of the pain and it's drivin' me crazy
'Cause I'm in too deep Fallin' down through the dark and it's drivin' me crazy I'm in too deep All the feel of the pain and it's drivin' me crazy ...

In Times To Be (French Version: Nous Nous Reverrons Un Jour Ou L'Autre) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
At last, the hour has come for parting It's curtain time for you and me Taxi at the door, suitcase on the floor Yet, I feel our story's only starting
Adding up our losses and our winnings There's another ending, I can see Travellers we are, following our star To a shining world of new beginnings, in times to be
The Gods look down, they must have seen us And smiled to see such fools as we They know where and when we will meet again Though the seven seas may come between us
We sang a song of love and laughter Though more than once we sang off key There will come a time, we will sing in line In a time of happy ever after, in times to be
We sang a song of love and laughter Though more than once we sang off key As we dream the parts, keep me in your heart Till that time of happy ever after, in times to be
In Time Composer(s): Paul Kantner; Marty Balin Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
Long time since I climbed down this mountain before Things I've seen here make me want to go running home
Lean close put your lips next to my face Look further on past the surface
Orange, blue, red & green Are the colors of what I feel And my mind y'know it starts to reel in time
To know your flesh layin' by my skin And I wonder whenever I'm in Warm, soft, nice & now Are the word things of what I know And my body y'know it's so in time
I see you at the same place that I play Ah darlin' tell me what can I say Dance, sing, sleep& dream Is the music of what I feel Among the many things whenever you're near in time
Come with me my friend Come on now and take my hand You can be my friend Soon be in another country
In This Life Composer(s): Michael Barry Reid; James Allen Shamblin First release by: Collin Raye - 1992 Covered by multiple other artists
For all I've been blessed with in this life there was an emptiness in me I was imprisoned by the power of gold With one honest touch, you set me free
Let the world stop turning let the sun stop burning Let them tell me love's not worth going through If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart the only dream that matters has come true in this life, I was loved by you
For every mountain I have climbed every raging river crossed you were the treasure that I longed to find Without your love I would be lost
Let the world stop turning let the sun stop burning let them tell me love's not worth going through If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart the only dream that mattered had come true in this life i was loved by you
Need Some Love Composer(s): Geddy Lee; Alex Lifeson Performer(s): Rush; John Rutsey
I'm runnin' here, I'm runnin' there I'm lookin' for a girl 'Cause there's nothin' I need, there's nothin' I want more In the whole wide world
Well, I need it quick and I need it now Before I start to fade away That's why I'm searchin', that's why I'm lookin' Each and ev'ry day
Chorus Ooh, I need some love I said I need some love! Oo yes, I need some love This feelin' I can't rise above Oo, yeah yeah!
Well I been hustlin' here, I been hustlin' there I been searchin' for about a week And I started feelin' this strange sensation My knees are startin' gettin' weak
Well I need what keeps a young man alive I'm sayin' I need it now I'm gonna get the message across to you Some way, somehow

In the year 3535 Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie Everything you think, do and say Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545 You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes You won't find a thing to chew Nobody's gonna look at you

But through eternal night The twinkling of starlight So very far away Maybe it's only yesterday
Need All My Friends Composer(s): Allen Collins; Ronnie Van Zant Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
Woman, I have to leave you I can't stay where there is no pay And I really don't care where I'm going to Its been so long since I've been gone Lord, I'm tired and I want to go home My throat is raw from singing the blues Need all my friends to talk to Now yes I do need all my friends to talk to
Gonna search around til I find a friend Who believes in me for what I am Sing my song til it hurts Play my music til I hit pay dirt Now I got to sing my song I got to play my music, do the things I love
Its been so long since I've been gone Lord, I'm tired and I want to go home My throat is raw from singing the blues Need all my friends to talk to Now yes I do need all my friends to talk to
In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning Composer(s): David Mann; Bob Hilliard First release by: Frank Sinatra - 1955 Covered by multiple other artists
In the wee small hours of the morning While the whole wide world is fast asleep You lie awake and think about the girl And never ever think of counting sheep When your lonely heart has learned its lesson You'd be hers if only she would call In the wee small hours of the morning That's the time you miss her most of all
In The Wee Small Hours Of Sixpence Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid Performer(s): Procol Harum
In the wee small hours of sixpence and the lighted chandelier stands a rusty old retainer whose old eyes are filled with tears for his master, Good Sir Galant who is now off to the wars And although his eyes are crying we know grief is not the cause And if grief is not the reason he must be of sterner stuff and his sword though old and rusty must be blunt as sharp enough
In the wee small hours of sixpence and the broken window pane stand the remnants of the evening who are waiting all in vain for the crowing of the cockerel showing morning is not night But the air is filled with silence and the daylight is not bright But still darkness is no reason We are men of sterner stuff and our swords though old and rusty still are blunt as sharp enough
In the wee small hours of sixpence and the hat-stand in the hall waiting only for the morning shadows flitting 'cross the wall And perhaps that old retainer Whom now giving of his all may have once been just as we are and now has no face at all But still grief was not the reason he was made of sterner stuff and his sword though old and rusty still was blunt as sharp enough
Near You Composer(s): Francis Craig; Rob Goellner Performer(s): Roger Williams; and various other artists
Theres just one place for me, near you Its like heaven to be, near you Times when were apart, and I cant face my heart Say youll never stray, more than just two lips away
If my hours could be spent, near you Id be more than content, near you Make my life worth while, by telling me that Ill Spend the rest of my days, near you
Theres just one place for me, near you Its like heaven to be, near you Times when were apart, and I cant face my heart Say youll never stray, more than just two lips away
If my hours could be spent, near you Id be more than content, near you Make my life worth while, by telling me that Ill Spend the rest of my days, near you
In The Valley Of The Nile Composer(s): Dave Radford; Richard Whiting
Down where the Nile flows so dreamily where Cleopatra met Anthony There's a sweet Egyptian maid who is waiting patiently And in my dreams I seem to see here waiting there There never bloomed a tropic flow'r so rare I hear her calling plaintively "Come back, my love, to me!"
The moon shines bright on the pyramids The lotus flowers have closed their lids Thro' the bright Egyptian night I can hear her calling me The dreamy river whispers to her of my love The nightbirds sing a welcome from above My heart is longing constantly I'd give the world to be
Where the dreamy Nile is flowing She's waiting there for me Waiting thro' the lonely hours There beside the lotus flow'rs But she knows just how my heart is yearning to kiss her I miss her own sweet smile Someday my caravans will cross the desert sands And take me to my dark eyed sweet heart Down in the Valley of the Nile
Near The End Composer(s): David Gilmour Performer(s): David Gilmour
And when you fell you're near the end Will you just turn it over and start again Is there a stirring in your heart As the time comes when we will have to part?
And when you feel you're near the end And there's a stranger where once was a friend And you are left without a word Only the whispers that you've overheard
Standing in silence, holding my breath Disconnected and dry And though I'm certain that there's nothing left To hold on to, to give or to try Some things never change, no don't ever change And I'm feeling the cold Thinking that we're getting older and wiser When we're just getting old
And when you feel you're near the end And what once burned so bright is growing dim? And when you see what's been acheived Is there a feeling that you've been deceived?
