Information Composer(s): Dave Edmunds; Mark Radice Performer(s): Dave Edmunds
She's been around me all the while Try as I might, I can't forget her smile In passing conversation, what did I hear her say? Where did she come from? Who is that woman anyway? What can I do to change her mind? Maybe she thinks that I'm just not her kind I think she wants me but she's trying to play hard to get When she treats me this way, I wish we'd never met Information, that's what I need Some information Where did she come from? Information, that's what I need Some information Information, that's what I need Some information Where did she come from? Information, give me a lead Some information The lights go down, the music's loud She's not around, I lost her in the crowd I really want her, but she's just a mystery What have I got to do to make her notice me? Information, that's what I need Some information Where did she come from? Information, that's what I need Some information Information, that's what I need Some information Where did she come from? Information, give me a lead Some information If only I could find a way What do I have to do to make her stay? I've got to find her again and try to steal her heart What I need is a lead, but I don't know where to start Information, that's what I need Some information Where did she come from? Information, that's what I need Some information Information, that's what I need Some information Where did she come from? Information, give me a lead Some information
Infinity Composer(s): Dave Brock; Robert Calvert Performer(s): Hawkwind
I used to be of human kind I had a life to lead But now I'm frozen in a dream My life is lost it seems She turned the key Of endlessness and locked me In a dream, Infinity
Infinity so beautiful Has turned my soul to ice And crystallized eternity For all my future time She turned the key Of endlessness and locked me In a dream, Infinity
I met her in a forest glade Where starbeams grew like trees I did not take her for a witch She wasn't what she seemed She turned the key Of endlessness and locked me In a dream, Infinity
She led me to a palace gate With constellation towers She is the keeper of my fate I sleep locked in her powers She turned the key Of endlessness and locked me In a dream, Infinity
Never A Time Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins; Mike Rutherford Performer(s): Genesis; Spectrum; Daryl Stuermer
There is never a time to say cos it seems to me we've lost our way so we carry on, down the road and we live our lives haunted by all the things we say and do keep on missing, when I'm alone with you
No there's never a time to change you don't get a chance to re-arrange it's a long long long way to go just to find out something, we both know can't you see what's going on it's so sad, that a love so strong, has gone
All I know is what is true All I ask is for you To just look around and see
You live your life locked in a dream Where nothing is real, and not what it seems We can't go on another day Just being afraid to say
It's a long long way to fall When we both thought we had it all Well you know it's the time to say cos we're all played out, we've lost our way Oh, I hoped that you would be oh so understanding and by now you'd see, but oh no so sad, oh so sad, that's the way that it goes I know, I'm gonna tell you right now
Infierno Y Gloria Composer(s): Abelardo Pulido Performer(s): Javier Solís and multiple other artists
Perdóname Señor si la quiero en tal forma que loco por su amor el matar no me importa Mi rostro se transforma cuando alguien le habla y el que la ve y la toca es ya mi rival
Es tan inmenso el cariño que siento por ella no sé si soy hombre o bestia sedienta de amar Yo sólo sé que la quiero con todas mis fuerzas ella es mi infierno y mi gloria ella es mi pecado, mi bien y mi mal
Es tan inmenso el cariño que siento por ella no sé si soy hombre o bestia sedienta de amar Yo sólo sé que la quiero con todas mis fuerzas ella es mi infierno y mi gloria ella es mi pecado, mi bien y mi mal
Neutron Dance Composer(s): Danny Sembello; Allee Willis Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters; and various other artists
I don't want to take it anymore I'll just stay here locked behind the door Just no time to stop and get away 'Cause I work so hard to make it everyday
Whoo oooh Whoo oooh
There's no money falling from the sky 'Cause a man took my heart and robbed me blind Someone stole my brand new Chevrolet And the rent is due, I got no place to stay
Whoo oooh Whoo oooh
(Chorus:) And it's hard to say Just how some things never change And it's hard to find Any strength to draw the line I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance
Industry don't pay a price that's fair All the common people breathing filthy air Roof caved in on all the simple dreams And to get ahead your heart starts pumping schemes
Chorus
Whoo oooh Whoo oooh I'm on fire I'm on fire
Chorus
I know there's a pot of gold for me All I got to do is just believe I'm so happy doin' the neutron dance And I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance I'm so happy doin' the neutron dance I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance
Infatuation Composer(s): Duane Hitchings; Rowland Robinson; Rod Stewart Performer(s): Rod Stewart
Early in the morning I can't sleep I can't work and I can't eat I've been drunk all day, can't concentrate Maybe I'm making a big mistake
Caught me down like a killer shark It's like a railroad running right through my heart Jekyll and Hyde the way I behave Feel like I'm running on an empty gauge
Oh no not again It hurts so good I don't understand Infatuation Infatuation Infatuation Infatuation
Heart beats silly like a big bass drum Losing all equilibrium It's so hard in the middle of the week Maybe this woman's just all I need
Oh no not again It hurts so good I don't understand Infatuation Infatuation Infatuation Infatuation 'Fatuate me baby
Spirits soar when I'm by her side She put a little love in this heart of mine Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I'm freed Maybe this woman's just all I need
Oh no not again It hurts so good I don't understand Infatuation Infatuation Infatuation Infatuation Rev it up
Een oog boven de dekens uit Zie ik de regen op de ruit En buiten wacht de wereld Met een stok achter de deur
Terug naar de nacht Naar de geur van het bed In het donker zacht vertellen Over vroeger aan mezelf
Mijn halfverteerde Teddybeer Zijn glazen oog al uitgerukt Holt zich het zaagsel uit de naad Op vilten zolen over straat En neemt de houten tram Van Nooitgedagt naar IJlst Hij komt nooit terug
refr.: Bouw een hut in de boom Nooit meer verder wakker worden Neurenberger droom (2x)
Twee ogen open, het is al dag En dadelijk is het donderdag De koude tocht komt zeuren Aan mijn warme dekentent Ik ben moe en nog lang niet gewend Aan het licht Ik wil niet geboren worden Ik blijf binnen bij mezelf
Het Alpenlandschap van papier De trein rijdt eeuwig in het rond Een pluchen haas als passagier Van hier naar Made in Germany De haas wuift met een poot De ander is hij kwijt Hij komt nooit terug
refr.
Als ik mijn armen traag beweeg Weet ik het weer Jouw plaats is leeg Jij was bang, jij was speelgoed En ik heb je stuk gemaakt Maar nu je echt bent zoekgeraakt Heb ik spijt En in plaats van in jouw armen Kruip ik verder in mezelf
Nether Lands Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; Lana Lane
High on this mountain The clouds down below I'm feeling so strong and alive From this rocky perch I'll continue to search For the wind and the snow and the sky Oh I want a lover and I want some friends And I want to live in the sun And I want to do all the things that I never have done
Sunny bright mornings and pale moonlit nights Keep me from feeling alone Now I'm learning to fly and this freedom is like Nothing that I've ever known Oh I've seen the bottom and I've been on top But mostly I've lived in between And where do you go when you get to the end of your dream
Off in the Nether Lands I heard the sound Like the beating of heavenly wings And deep in my brain I can hear a refrain Of my soul as she rises and sings Anthems to glory and anthems to love And hymns filled with earthly delight Like the songs that the darkness composes to worship the light
Once in a vision I came on some woods And stood at a fork in the road My choices were clear yet I froze with the fear Of not knowing which way to go Oh, one road was simple acceptance of life The other road offered sweet peace When I made my decision My vision became my release
Industrial Disease Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits
Warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control Somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole There's rumours in the loading bay and anger in the town Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down There's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell There's leaking in the washroom there's a sneak in personnel Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze 'Goodness me could it be Industrial Disease?'
The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post They're refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most The watchdog's got rabies the foreman's got the fleas And everyone's concerned about Industrial Disease There's panic on the switchboard tongues are ties in knots Some come out in sympathy some come out in spots Some blame the management some the employees And everybody knows it's the Industrial Disease
The work force is disgusted downs tools and walks Innocence is injured experience just talks Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees That these are 'classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze' On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse Philosophy is useless theology is worse History boils over there's an economics freeze Sociologists invent words that mean 'Industrial Disease'
Doctor Parkinson declared 'I'm not surprised to see you here You've got smokers cough from smoking brewer's droop from drinking beer I don't know how you came to get the Bette Davis knees But worst of all young man you've got Industrial Disease' He wrote me a prescription he said 'you are depressed But I'm glad you came to see me to get this off your chest Come back and see me later - next patient please Send in another victim of Industrial Disease'
I go down to Speaker's Corner I'm thunderstruck They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks Two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong There's a protest singer singing a protest song - he says 'they wanna have a war so they can keep us on our knees They wanna have a war so they can keep their factories They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese They wanna have a war to stop Industrial Disease They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind They wanna sap you energy incarcerate your mind They give you Rule Brittania, gassy beer, page three Two weeks in Espana and Sunday striptease' Meanwhile the first Jesus says 'I'd cure it soon Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons' The other one's out on hunger strike he's dying by degrees How come Jesus gets Industrial Disease
Net Als Toen First performance by: Corry Brokken - 1957
Zit niet so suf met die eeuwige krant Gaap niet van slaap of verveling 'k Ben toch je vrouw en ik eet uit je hand Maar 'k eet niet van de bedeling
Kijk me niet aan of je denkt: leef je nog? Ben ik nog altijd die vrouw Waarmee je destijds - wanneer was dat toch? Per se dat avontuurtje hebben wou!
Wees nog eens lief, net als toen Vraag me nog eens om een zoen Breng me weer rozen, sta weer te blozen Als je me ziet, net als toen
Wees nog eens lief en galant Vind me weer mooi en charmant Dan wordt de wereld weer net als vroeger Een sprookjesland
Ja, je wordt dik en je haar wordt al grijs Maar je kunt heus nog wel flirten Ach, je bent soms nog zo'n kind, zo onwijs Nurks en baldadig om beurten!
Weet je nog, weet je nog? Zeg nou niet nee... Weet je nog, dat je toen zei "t Gelukkigste paar, dat zijn wij met z'n twee" Mijn liefde, liefste lief, gaat nooit voorbij!
Wees nog eens lief, net als toen Vraag me nog eens om en zoen Breng me weer rozen, sta weer te blozen Als je me ziet, net als toen
Wees nog eens lief en galant Vind me weer mooi en charmant Dan wordt de wereld weer net als vroeger Een sprookjesland
Indulto (En Vivo) Composer(s): Alejandro Lerner Performer(s): Alejandro Lerner
Aunque me quede ciego y sin pensamientos habrá en mi alma un libro con mis recuerdos
Aunque cambie el final siempre el mismo cuento donde quedan las huellas de lo que siento y es por eso que no voy a olvidar por los que han sufrido y por los que no están por los que se han ido a ningún lugar siento que me abraza la soledad siento que me atrapa la soledad
Porque vuelve la niebla a mi candelario porque hasta la justicia tiene cola de diablo y no quiere ver, no quiere mirar porque está desnuda mi libertad porque no estoy solo y no sé qué hacer porque, pese a todo, Dios aun tengo fe
Porque aun me duele el hambre de un nuevo cielo y porque tengo ganas de seguir creciendo porque no habrá perdón porque no habrá consuelo porque no hay abrigo que calme mi miedo
Porque después de tanto llorar los veo salir de nuevo Porque después de tanto llorar los veo salir de nuevo
Porque no habrá perdón porque no habrá consuelo de que sirve el castigo sin arrepentimiento
Nestle In Your Daddy's Arms Composer(s): Lou Herscher; Joe Burke Performer(s): Art Hickman
Baby, daddy's mighty blue Don't know what to do So lonesome for a little love from you Maybe you feel just as bad Won't you make me glad You know I need your sweet affection too Just cuddle near me So you can hear me And listen while I say
Baby, you're my little pet Since the day we met You've been your daddy's little angel child Maybe you don't realize How my poor heart cries Because you very nearly drive me wild I'm wild about you Can't live without you So listen to my plea
Come and nestle in your daddy's loving arms On my shoulder let me hold your loving charms When you go away for even just a day Your daddy misses all your love and all your kisses Show your pretty dimples, let me see you smile Make your daddy happy all the while Because you know I'm awf'ly lonesome When I'm by my ownsome Come and nestle in your daddy's arms
Comme le chien de monsieur Jean de Nivelle Tu ne viens jamais à moi quand je t'appelle Qu'importe le temps Qu'emporte le vent Mieux vaut ton absence Que ton inconséquence
Quand par hasard dans mon lit je te rencontre On n'peut pas dire que tu sois pour ni qu'tu sois contre Qu'importe le temps Qu'emporte le vent Mieux vaut ton absence Que ton impertinence
Dans tes yeux je vois mes yeux t'en as d'la chance Ça te donne des lueurs d'intelligence Qu'importe le temps Qu'emporte le vent Mieux vaut ton absence Que ton incohérence
En d'autres occasions je chanterais les transes De l'amour mais aujourd'hui je m'en balance Qu'importe le temps Qu'emporte le vent Mieux vaut ton absence Que ton indifférence
Neste Sommer Composer(s): Lars Lillo-Stenberg; Kyrre S. Fritzner Performer(s): De Lillos
Det var en gang en sommer i nittenhundre og nittitre Hvor alt var så behagelig og verden var diskret Om dagen kunne man lese langsomt i en bok Om kvelden satt vi rundt et bord
Ref: Når du en gang kommer neste sommer Skal jeg atter være her Og vi skal synge gamle sanger om igjen Når du en gang kommer neste sommer Skal vi atter drikke vin Og vi skal snakke sammen om de samme gamle ting
Det var en gang en sommer I nittenhundre og nittitre Hvor verden lå ufarlig Langs Norges kyst et sted På radioen var det et program Om sommermat Vi ruslet ned og tok et bad
Pauvre pauvre pauvre Indien Plante un à un Plante plante un à un Le maïs en grains
Dure est la terre Que l'on arrache à la forêt Dure est la terre Où il vivra jusqu'à l'été Solitaire La faim au ventre Il attendra de voir monter La faim au ventre Les maigres tiges à récolter Entre les pierres
Pauvre pauvre pauvre Indien Plante un à un Plante plante un à un Le maïs en grains
Dans son village Il a laissé femme et enfants Dans son village Qui l'attendent depuis longtemps Sans colère La terre est rouge Rouges ses mains rouge son coeur La terre est rouge Frère sa peau a la couleur Qui nous est chère
Pauvre pauvre pauvre Indien Plante un à un Plante plante un à un Le maïs en grains
N'Est-Ce Pas Merveilleux? Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Dis n'est-ce pas merveilleux? La plage est là pour nous seuls Dis n'est-ce pas merveilleux? La vague danse sur les écueils
Cette lune qui dort Dans un ciel tout en or Et ce vent qui nous berce N'est-ce pas merveilleux?
Et ta main dans la mienne Et ton coeur près du mien L'éternelle rengaine C'est quand même merveilleux
Oui, c'est quand même merveilleux
Dis n'est-ce pas merveilleux? Écoute l'onde qui chante Dis, ferme les yeux Retiens l'heure présente
Cette nuit de velours Et ce souffle d'amour Pour deux coeurs amoureux N'est-ce pas merveilleux
Et si ce n'est qu'un rêve Quelques images brèves Il s'agit de nous deux C'est quand même merveilleux Oui c'est quand même merveilleux Ah oui, c'est quand même merveilleux
Indiecito Dormido Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui Performer(s): Daniel Toro
Poncho de cuatro colores cuatro caminos quebrados y un solo sueño de cobre está el changuito soñando
Indiecito dormido pa' acompañarte se duerme el río indiecito dormido junto a tu puerta pasa el camino pasa el camino, sí, pasa el camino cuando por él te vayas ... chuy! chuy! qué frío!
Sueña que es tibia la nieve que son blandos los guijarros que el viento le cuenta cuentos de pastores y rebaños
N'est-Ce Pas Étrange?

Performer(s): Claude François - 1975
Si tu es toujours là tu m'ennuies Pourtant aussitot que tu es loin de moi Tu me manques, tu me manques tellement Si tu me quittais je t'oublie Mais si tu me trompes Alors là tu m'obsèdes Je deviens fou en passant à toi
Plus tu es méchante et plus je t'aime Plus tu en inventes et plus je t'aime Et plus tu me tourmentes Et plus moi je t'aime
N'est-ce pas étrange? Que toutes ces choses Contredisent dans cette vie L'amour est simple et compliqué Oui n'est-ce pas étrange? Que toutes ces choses Contredisent dans cette vie Je n'pourrai jamais l'expliquer
Si la vérité prolonge l'amour Le mensonge par contre Le rendra si violent Parfois même bien plus excitant Si les fleurs vont vers la pluie Moi je reviens toujours vers toi chérie Tu sais je suis faible mais ça m'est égal
PLus tu es méchante et plus je t'aime Plus tu en inventes et plus je t'aime Et plus tu me tourmentes Et plus moi je t'aime
N'est-ce pas étrange? Que toutes ces choses Contredisent dans cette vie L'amour est simple et compliqué Oui n'est-ce pas étrange? Que toutes ces choses Contredisent dans cette vie Je n'pourrai jamais l'expliquer
PLus tu es méchante et plus je t'aime Plus tu en inventes et plus je t'aime Et plus tu me tourmentes Et plus moi je t'aime
