In Yokohama (Adapted from: Ue O Muite Arukoo - 1961) (Danish Version: Sukiyaki - 1963) Composer(s): Hachidai Nakamura; Rokusuke Ei Performer(s): Tony Vos - 1963
In Yokohama komen, tot waarheid, al m'n dromen Waar ik eens zei, tegen jou "Ach m'n lentebloesem, ik hou van jou, ik wil je tot vrouw Geef me je ja-woord dus maar gauw"
In Yokohama zei je "Ik blijf voor altijd bij je Breng mij dus vlug dat geluk, als je lentebloesem 'k Wil naast je staan, met kimono aan Als we in het huwelijksbootje gaan"
Ik wil voor altijd zijn Waar de liefde begon In 't land van maneschijn En de rijzende zon
In Yokohama komen, tot waarheid, al m'n dromen Als ik weer zeg, heel oprecht "Ach m'n lentebloesem, ik hou van jou, ik wil jou tot vrouw Geef me je ja-woord dus maar gauw"
In Yokohama komen, tot waarheid, al m'n dromen Als ik weer zeg, heel oprecht "Ach m'n lentebloesem, ik hou van jou, ik wil jou tot vrouw Geef me je ja-woord dus maar gauw"
Needles And Pins ((French Version: La Nuit N'en Finit Plus (by Petula Clark) - 1963)) Composer(s): Sonny Bono - Jack Nitzsche First release by: Jackie De Shannon - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists
I saw her today, I saw her face It was a face I loved and I knew I had to run away And get down on my knees and pray That there'd come a day And still it begins, needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I've got to hide
Oh, I thought I was smart I'll hold her heart And I didn't think I'd do But know I see She's worse to him than me Let her go ahead, and take his love instead And one day she will see
Just how to say please And get down on her knees Yeah that's how it begins She'll feel those needles and pins I know, I know
Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong I'm wrong, so wrong Why can't I stand up And tell myself I'm strong?
Because I saw her today, I saw her face It was a face I loved and I knew I had to run away And get down on my knees and pray That there'd come a day And still it begins, needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I've gotta hide Oh needles and pins Needles and pins Needles and pins
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
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 2525 if man is still alive if woman can survive They may find
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
In the year 5555 Your arms hanging limp at your sides Your legs got nothing to do Some machine's doing that for you
In the year 6565 You won't need no husband, won't need no wife You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too From the bottom of a long glass tube
In the year 7510 If God's a-coming, He ought to make it by then Maybe He'll look around Himself and say" Guess it's time for the judgement day"
In the year 8510 God is gonna shake His mighty head He'll either say "I'm pleased where man has been" Or tear it down, and start again
In the year 9595 I'm kind of wondering if man is gonna be alive He's taken everything this old earth can give And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been ten thousand years Man has cried a billion tears For what, he never knew Now man's reign is through
But through eternal night The twinkling of starlight So very far away Maybe it's only yesterday

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
