Into The Great Wide Open (Italian Version: Nel Grande Spazio Aperto - 1992) Composer(s): Tom Petty; Jeff Lynne Performer(s): Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - 1991
Eddie waited til' he finished high school He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo He met a girl out there with a tattoo too The future was wide open
They moved into a place they both could afford He found a night club he could work at the door She had a guitar and she taught him some chords The sky was the limit
Into the great wide open Under them skies of blue Out in the great wide open A rebel without a clue
The papers said Ed always played from the heart He got an agent and a roadie named Bart They made a record and it went in the charts The sky was the limit
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle They both met movie stars, partied and mingled Their A&R man said: "I don't hear a single" The future was wide open
Into the great wide open Under them skies of blue Out in the great wide open A rebel without a clue
Into the great wide open Under them skies of blue Into the great wide open A rebel without a clue
New Kid In Town Composer(s): Don Henley; Glenn Frey; J.D. Souther Performer(s): The Eagles; and various other artists
There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar Great expectations, everybody's watching you People you meet they all seem to know you Even your old friends treat you like you're something new Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town Everybody loves you, so don't let them down
You look in her eyes, the music begins to play Hopeless romantics, here we go again But after a while you're looking the other way It's those restless hearts that never mend Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town Will she still love you when you're not around?
There's so many things you should have told her But night after night you're willing to hold her Just hold her, tears on your shoulder
There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you That it doesn't really matter which side you're on You're walking away and they're talking behind you They will never forget you till somebody new comes along
Where you been lately? There's a new kid in town Everybody loves him, don't they? Now he's holding her And you're still around, oh my my There's a new kid in town Just another new kid in town
Oo-hoo, everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town Oo-hoo, everybody's walking like the new kid in town There's a new kid in town (I don't want to hear it) There's a new kid in town (I don't want to hear it) There's a new kid in town There's a new kid in town There's a new kid in town (Everybody's talking) There's a new kid in town (People started walking) There's a new kid in town There's a new kid in town (repeat & fade)
Nel Grande Spazio Aperto (Adapted from: Into The Great Wide Open - 1991) Composer(s): Tom Petty; Jeff Lynne; Massimo Bubola Performer(s): Cristiano De Andrè - 1992
Carlo finì le scuole e prese coraggio andò a Milano e si fece un tatuaggio la sua ragazza lo portava all'orecchio il futuro era aperto poi si affitarono una casa da soli lui trovò un posto in disco da buttafuori lei gli insegnò delle chitarre il segreto il cielo era il tetto
Nel grande spazio aperto sopra quel cielo blu nel grande spazio aperto sei un ribelle senza tribù
Le recensioni erano buone davvero prese un agente ed un bravo scudiero fecero un disco che iniziava a salire il cielo era il confine
Sopra il giubbotto aveva catene e chiodi era invitato ai parties più prestigiosi ma il grande capo disse "Non è successo!" il futuro era aperto
Nel grande spazio aperto sopra quel cielo blu nel grande spazio aperto sei un ribelle senza tribù
Nel grande spazio aperto sopra quel cielo blu nel grande spazio aperto sei un ribelle senza tribù
New Highway Composer(s): Homer Jackson Performer(s): Larry Sparks
I read a book about a man Who never went to school He could tell you more things about life Than any man I ever knew
He didn't study to be a carpenter But things he could build Would stand the storms life could bring No matter how small or big
And he built a new highway to Heaven And few there'll be that travel thereon He put me on a new highway to Heaven There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone
He didn't study to be a scientist Or have a doctor's degree He knew more than any surgeon Of this world could ever teach
He can remove a stony heart Put a new one in its place Jesus does this from inside out Leaves no scars, no other trace
And he built a new highway to Heaven And few there'll be that travel thereon He put me on a new highway to Heaven There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone
He put me on a new highway to Heaven And few there'll be that travel thereon He put me on a new highway to Heaven There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone He put me on a new highway to Heaven
Into My Arms Composer(s): Nick Cave First release by: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - 1997
I don't believe in an interventionist God But I know, darling, that you do But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him Not to intervene when it came to you Not to touch a hair on your head To leave you as you are And if He felt He had to direct you Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angels But looking at you I wonder if that's true But if I did I would summon them together And ask them to watch over you To each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms
And I believe in Love And I know that you do too And I believe in some kind of path That we can walk down, me and you So keep your candlew burning And make her journey bright and pure That she will keep returning Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms
Into Money Composer(s): Robin Trower Performer(s): Robin Trower
You've got your house, you've got your car You live up on the hill among the stars You say you did what you had to do But was it really worth what they put you through You know these things we believed in It didn't touch you at all I hate to see you like this baby With your back to the wall
You lost your heart, when you lost your nerve Maybe you lost your grip on that first curve You used to talk about bein' free Why, you're so tied up you can't even breathe
You know these things we believed in They didn't touch you at all I hate to see you like this baby With your back to the wall Money into money Money into money
Money into money Money into money You're into money, into money You're into money, money Into money yeah, yeah Into money Into money, into money, into money yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Into money
New Europeans Composer(s): Warren Cann; Chris Cross; Billy Currie; Ultravox; Midge Ure Performer(s): Midge Ure; Ultravox
In a quiet street washed by the rain
a room within the home A lonely man sits cheek to cheek with unique designs in chrome The mellow years have long gone by, but now he sits alone He has a brand new radio, but never turns it on
New Europeans Young Europeans New Europeans
A photograph of lovers lost lies pressed in magazines Her eyes belong to a thousand girls, she's the wife who's never seen Their educated son has left in search of borrowed dreams His television's in his bed, he's frozen to the screen
New Europeans Young Europeans New Europeans
On a crowded beach washed by the sun, he puts his headphones on His modern world revolves around the synthesizer's song Full of future thoughts and thrills, his senses slip away He's a European legacy, a culture for today
Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall Composer(s): Doris Fisher; Allan Roberts Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald & The Ink Spots and multiple other artists
Into each life some rain must fall But too much is falling in mine Into each heart some tears must fall But some day the sun will shine
Some folks can lose the blues in their hearts But when I think of you another shower starts Into each life some rain must fall But too much is falling in mine
Into each and every life some rain has got to fall But too much of that stuff is fallin' into mine And into each heart some tears gotta fall And I know that someday that sun is bound to shine
Some folks can lose the blues in their heart But when I think of you another shower starts Into each life some rain must fall But too much is fallin' in mine
New Cut Road Composer(s): Guy Clark Performer(s): Guy Clark; Bobby Bare; Johnny Cash; The Coal Porters; Emmylou Harris
Coleman Bonner was a fiddle playin' fool He's a backwoods rounder and a breaker of mules Coleman Bonner's got a wore out bow He's been playin' all day down the new cut road
Coleman's little sister said you better act right Daddy's gone to Louisville he'll be back tonight He's gonna get another wagon and a good pair of mules And we gonna move to Texas we just waitin' on you
Coleman's daddy pulled up in the yard He said pack up your lives kids it's gettin' too hard Kentucky's alright but there's too many people Just the other day I thought I saw a church steeple
Coleman said daddy don't you worry bout me I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky till the day I d I'm gonna drink that sourmash and gonna race that mare And find that woman with the fox red hair
Now you all been movin' west since the day you got married Well I'm gettin' off the wagon daddy I'm too old to be carried Gonna stay here in Kentucky where the bluegrass grow I'm gonna play it all night down the new cut road
Coleman's daddy said now what's it all comn' to Young people these days are just as stubborn as mules You can't make him go he's too old for that It's that damned old fiddle and that bowler hat
Coleman's mama said let the boy stay He's raised up solid and he can find his own way But as for me honey I'm with you I always thought Kentucky was just passin' through
Coleman's little sister then she started into a cryin' And his daddy shook his head for the very last time Coleman's mama said somebody's gotta do it Wouldn't be no Kentucky less you didn't stick to it
Coleman Booner stood on the porch of that cabin Watched 'em all go to Texas in a covered wagon He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow And he played a little tune called the new cut road
International Heroes Composer(s): Kim Fowley; Kerry Scott First release by: Kim Fowley - 1973
Bobby and Sue still go to school Falling asleep and it aint too cool Time and day stuck in the rain At every concert the bus leaves early Were just wasting time Wondering what well find when its all over
I think Ill cut my hair off And start a new game Why bother being different Were all the same Hey friend, its gotta end I dont care what you wear Its what you are that makes you a star
International heroes You got the teenage blues Change has gotta come soon Or else were gonna lose
Noise I hear year after year Aint done nothing more than become unclear Hey everybody what have we got Old clothes and records starting to rot Dont throw them away Open yourselves to the sounds of the future
International heroes You got the teenage blues Change has gotta come soon Or else were gonna lose (lose lose)
International heroes You got the teenage blues Change has gotta come soon Or else were gonna lose
International heroes You got the teenage blues Change has gotta come soon Or else were gonna lose
New Blowtop Blues Composer(s): Jane Feather; Leonard Feather Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Deborah Cox; Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers
I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know Yes I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know Well I discovered this morning that my wig is about to blow
Well I've been rocking on my feet and I've been talking all out of my head Yes I've been rocking on my feet and I've been talking all out of my head And when I get through talking, I can't remember a thing I've said
Now I used to be a sharpie All dressed in the latest styles But now I'm walking down Broadway Wearing nothing but a smile I see all kinds of little men Although they're never there I tried to push a subway train And poured whiskey in my hair I'm a gal who blew a fuse, I've got those blowtop blues
Last night I was five feet tall Today I'm eight feet ten Every time I fall downstairs, I float right up again When someone turned the lights on me it like to drove me blind I woke up this morning in Bellevue but I've left my mind behind I'm a gal you can't excuse, 'cause I've got those blowtop blues
Well I got high last night, and I took my man to his wife's front door Yes I got juiced last night and I took my man to his wife's front door Oh but she was a 45-packin' mama, and I ain't goin' to try that no more!
Interlude (Time) Composer(s): Georges Delerue; Hal Shaper First performance by: Timi Yuro - 1968
Time is like a dream And now for a time you are mine Let's hold fast to the dream That tastes and sparkles like wine
Who knows if it's real Or just something we're both dreaming of What seems like an interlude now Could be the beginning of love Loving you is a world that's strange So much more than my heart can hold Loving you makes the whole world change Loving you I could not grow old No, nobody knows when love will end So till then, sweet friend
Time is like a dream And now for a time you are mine Let's hold fast to the dream That tastes and sparkles like wine
New And Different Way Composer(s): Jim Messina Performer(s): Jim Messina
I think that I can finally see A change in my reality In a new and different way The way that I can tell that I'm right Is everything looks fresh and bright In a new and different way Well I feel that from this special place You see another kind of face On those that didn't show Then suddenly you find You're not coming from your mind anymore
That's when you let your heart come through The feeling that you find is you In a new and different way The place that you will learn to know Is a place that in your life you'll show In a new and different way Well I found that music is my play And I'm living my life from day to day With those I really love And in return for what I give The love I get will surely live forever Ever and ever
Then suddenly you find You're not coming from your mind anymore That's when you let your heart Come through The feeling that you find is you In a new and different way The place that you will learn to know Is a place that in your life you'll show In a new and different way Well I found that music is my play And I'm living my life from day to day With those I really love And in return for what I give The love I get will surely live forever Ever and ever
When Reginald was home with flu, uh huh The doctor knew just what to do He cured the infection With one small injection While Reginald uttered some interjections Hey! That smarts! Ouch! That hurts! Yow! That's not fair Giving a guy a shot down there! Interjections! Show excitement or emotion They're generally set apart from a sentence By an exclamation point or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong Though Geraldine played hard to get, uh huh Geraldo knew he'd woo her yet He showed his affection Despite her objections And Geraldine hollered some interjections Well! You've got some nerve! Oh! I've never been so insulted in all my life! Hey! You're kinda cute!
(Chorus)
So when you're happy Or sad Or frightened Or mad Or excited Or glad An interjection starts a sentence right!
The game was tied at seven all, uh huh When Franklin found he had the ball He made a connection In the other direction And the crowd starting shouting out interjections Aw! You threw the wrong way! Darn! You just lost the game! Hurray! I'm for the other team!
(Chorus)
So when you're happy Or sad or frightened or mad or excited or glad An interjection starts a sentence right!
(Chorus)
Interjections! Show excitement or emotion! Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah yeah!

Waiting for the phone to ring Diamond necklace on my shoulder Waiting for the phone to ring Lipstick on my naked shoulder It seems to be my fancy to make it with Franky and sue ann
Over the bridge we go Looking for love Over the bridge we go Looking for love Ill come running to you, hey baby if you want me Ill come running to you, baby if you want me
Looking at my hands today Look to me that theyre made of ivory I had a funny call today Someone died and someone married You know that its my fancy to make it with Franky and sue ann
