    Isabella
    (French Version: Isabelle)
    Composer(s): Georges Calabrese; Charles Aznavour
    Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



    Da tempo ormai avevo il cuore in pace
    Che ero convinto che non si svegliasse più
    Ma mi risollevai, sentendo la tua voce
    Ti amavo prima che ci riflettessi sù
    Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle
    Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle
    Conquistatore che ignora la clemenza
    L'amore ha messo già radici in fondo a me
    Distrutto le mie idee, presa la mia esistenza
    E la calma oramai, che non so più cos'è
    Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle
    Isabelle, Isabelle
    Un'ora accanto a te trascorre in un secondo
    Un giorno senza te dura un'eternità
    E io vivo così, quasi fuori del tempo
    Tra spazi di follia e di lucidità
    Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle
    No basta, Isabelle, oh, Isabelle
    Mon amour
    Tu corri nella luce ed io resto nell'ombra
    Tu pazza per la vita ed io pazzo di te
    E mi accontenterò di amare la tua onbra
    Se il tuo destino vuoi dividere con me
    Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle
    Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle, mon amour..

    and various other artists



    When the evenin' sun goes down
    You will find me hangin' 'round
    Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
    But it's my life

    Many people just like me
    Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
    Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
    Ah, but it's my life

    Listen to the blues that they're playin'
    Listen what the blues are sayin'
    (Instrumental Break)

    Life is just another scene
    In this old world of broken dreams
    Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
    But it's my life

    Oh, the night life ain't no good life
    Oh, but it's my life
    Yeah, it's my life

    Isaac & Abraham
    Composer(s): Joan Baez; Wally Wilson; Kenny Greenberg
    Performer(s): Joan Baez



    Hard times, hard times in Canaan land
    Trouble in the mind of a man
    A voice came whispering softly to him
    Go offer, offer up the lamb

    Abraham took his only son
    High up on a hill
    His test of faith had finally come
    As the wind, the wind begin to chill

    Cold steel, cold steel in the father's hand
    Tears falling from the sky
    The angels, the angels did not understand
    Why the righteous, the righteous boy should die

    Then Abraham most mysteriously
    Laid down that deadly knife
    Said "My darlin' son, I wish I was the one
    Who spared you, spared your precious life"

    Oh Isaac
    The light of all your days
    Will shine upon this mountain high
    And never, never fade away
    And never fade away

    Night In Tunisia
    Composer(s): Dizzy Gillespie; Frank Caparelli
    Performer(s): Charlie Parker & Miles Davis



    The moon is the same moon above you
    Aglow with its cool evening light
    But shining at night, in Tunisia
    Never does it shine so bright

    The stars are aglow in the heavens
    But only the wise understand
    That shining at night in Tunisia
    They guide you through the desert sand

    Words fail, to tell a tale
    Too exotic to be told
    Each night's a deeper night
    In a world, ages old

    The cares of the day seem to vanish
    The ending of day brings release
    Each wonderful night in Tunisia
    Where the nights are filled with peace

    (bridge)
    (scat)

    {Repeat all twice}
    (scat)
    Each wonderful night in Tunisia

    Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde; Tom Kelly; Billy Steinberg
    Performer(s): The Pretenders



    I see him standing silhouetted in the lamp light
    I cross the street and I quicken my pace
    He cups his hands and he lights a cigarette
    I find myself in the bones of his face
    It's just the night in my veins
    Oh, making me crawl in the dust again
    It's just the night under my skin, slipping it in
    He's got his hands in my hair and his lips everywhere
    Oh yeah, it feels good, it's alright
    Even if it's just the night in my veins
    He's got me up against the back of a pickup truck
    Out of sight of the neon and glare
    We might as well be on a beach under the moonlight
    Love's language reads the same anywhere yeah
    It's just the night in my veins
    Oh, making me crawl in the dust again
    It's just the night under my skin, slipping it in
    He's got his chest on my back across a new Cadillac
    Oh yeah, it feels good, it's alright
    Even if it's just a night in my veins
    I've got my head on the curb and I can't produce a word
    Oh yeah, feels good, so right
    Even if it's just a night in my veins
    Feels good, so right
    Even if it's just the night in my veins

    I got a gal who's always late
    Any time we have a date
    But I love her
    Yes I love her

    I'm gonna walk right up to her gate
    And see if I can get it straight
    ‘Cause I want her
    I'm gonna ask her

    Is you is or is you ain't my baby
    Way you're acting lately makes me doubt
    Youse is still my baby, baby
    Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out

    A woman is a creature that has always been strange
    Just when you're sure of what you'll find
    She's gone and made a change

    Is you is or is you ain't my baby
    Maybe baby's found somebody new
    Or is my baby still my baby true

    Is you is or is you ain't my baby
    Maybe baby's found somebody new
    Or is my baby still my baby true

    Night Game
    Composer(s): Paul Simon
    Performer(s): Paul Simon; Sam Yahel



    There were two men down
    And the score was tied
    In the bottom of the eighth
    When the pitcher died

    And they laid his spikes
    On the pitcher's mound
    And his uni-form was torn
    And his number was left on the ground

    Then the night turned cold
    Colder than the moon
    The stars were white as bones
    The stadium was old
    Older than the screams
    Older than the teams
    There were three men down
    And the season lost
    And the tarpaulin was rolled
    Upon the winter frost

    I should have known better
    Than to let you go alone
    It’s times like these
    I can’t make it on my own
    Wasted days, and sleepless nights
    And I can’t wait to see you again

    I find I spend my time
    Waiting on your call
    How can I tell you, baby
    My back’s against the wall
    I need you by my side
    To tell me it’s alright
    ’cos I don’t think I can take anymore

    Is this love that I’m feeling
    Is this the love, that I’ve been searching for
    Is this love or am I dreaming
    This must be love
    ’cos it’s really got a hold on me
    A hold on me...

    I can’t stop the feeling
    I’ve been this way before
    But, with you I’ve found the key
    To open any door
    I can feel my love for you
    Growing stronger day by day
    An’ I can’t wait to see you again
    So I can hold you in my arms

    Is this love that I’m feeling
    Is this the love, that I’ve been searching for
    Is this love or am I dreaming
    This must be love
    ’cos it’s really got a hold on me
    A hold on me...

    Is this love that I’m feeling
    Is this the love, that I’ve been searching for...
    Is this love or am I dreaming
    Is this the love, that I’ve been searching for...

    Performer(s): Keats



    I couldn't say for sure
    At first it was just the softest sound
    I wouldn't say I saw
    But I could feel it all around me

    I heard the night full of voices
    Telling me:
    "Don't surrender
    It doesn't end here!"
    The night's full of voices
    Falling free
    Once you've heard them
    You will remember

    I never said before
    I knew that no one would believe
    I don't care anymore
    If you think I want to deceive you

    I hear the night full of voices
    Calling me
    "Beware, the changes
    Have hidden dangers!"

    Composer(s): Maurice Abrahams; Lew Brown; Edgar Leslie
    Performer(s): Henry Burr & Albert Campbell



    Hello there long distance, please don't make me wait in vain
    I asked you to connect me with a homestead down in Maine
    I hate to hold the wire, don't get mad if I complain
    I long to hear my sweetheart's voice again
    Oh, hello dear, yes, this is me, I'm many miles away
    I'm lonesome and I just called up to say

    Is there still room for me
    'Neath the old apple tree
    Where there once was a bench for two
    Oh, that bench wasn't long
    And you know it wasn't strong
    When I sat there with you

    I've got fare back to Maine
    And I'll jump on a train
    If your heart beats as fond and as true
    Is there still room for me
    'Neath the old apple tree
    If there is I'll come back to you

    Listen operator, what's the matter with this phone
    It seems to me you never had a sweetheart of your own
    You say there's wire trouble and you've got the numbers mixed
    Well, hurry up and get the wires fixed
    Is that you dear? Yes I can hear, they cut us off somehow
    I'm waiting and I want your asnwer now

    Is there still room for me
    'Neath the old apple tree
    Where there once was a bench for two
    Oh, that bench wasn't long
    And you know it wasn't strong
    When I sat there with you

    I've got fare back to Maine
    And I'll jump on a train
    If your heart beats as fond and as true
    Is there still room for me
    'Neath the old apple tree
    If there is I'll come back to you

    I received a message from my brother across the water
    He sat laughin' as he wrote the end's in sight
    So I said goodbye to all my friends
    And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
    'Cause I know it's time to fly
    Come on, meet me in the morning, meet me in the middle of the night
    The morning light is comin', don't it make you wanna go and feel alright?
    I just jumped a train that never stops
    So know somehow they'll know I never finished payin' for my ride
    Just n' someone pushed a gun into my hand
    Tell me I'm the type of man to fight the fight that I'll require
    Come on, meet me in the morning, meet me in the middle of the night
    The morning light is comin', don't it make you wanna go and feel alright?
    Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin'
    Nothin' here to make me stay
    Whoa, mama, well it must be time I'm goin'
    They're knockin' down them doors
    They're tryin' to take me away
    Please Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell, and ring loud and clear?
    Please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell?
    Tell the people they got to fly away from here
    I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
    Suddenly they have a very, very special smile
    We are in the middle of a change in destination
    When the train stops, all together we will smile
    Oh, meet me in the morning
    Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night
    Everybody know the mornin' time is comin'
    Don't it make you wanna feel alright, ah, ah, yeah
    Make me feel alright, fly now, baby
    Get to fly, yeah, fly now, baby

    I made a run, I run out yesterday
    Tried to find my mountain hideaway
    maybe next year, maybe no go

    I know you're watching me every minute of the day, yeah
    I've seen the signs and the looks and pictures
    That give your game away, yeah

    There's a dream that strings the road
    With broken glass for us to hold
    and I cut so far before I had to say

    Please, please tell me now
    Is there something I should know?
    Is there something I should say?
    That would make you come my way
    Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

    People stare and cross the road from me
    And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
    Can you read my mind, can you see in the snow
    and fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
    Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war

    Please, please tell me now
    Is there something I should know?
    Is there something I should say?
    That would make you come my way
    Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

    Please, please tell me now
    Is there something I should know?
    Is there something I should say?
    That would make you come my way

    Please, please tell me now
    Is there something I should know?
    Is there something I should say?
    That would make you come my way

    Please, please tell me now
    Can you see what makes me blow?
    Can you see how much I die?
    Every time it passes by

    Please, please tell me now

    Is there something I should know?
    Is there something I should say?

    Night Flight
    Composer(s): Jeff Wayne; Paul Vigrass
    Performer(s): Justin Hayward



    We were two lonely travelers
    In the sky that night
    Two lonely travelers, high flying
    Alone in the night on an endless flight
    Killing time with polite conversation
    Killing time in your shy hesitating way
    Killing time, killing my isolation

    Two lonely travelers breaking ice
    By opening up a few old back pages

    We were two golden eagles in the sky today
    Two golden eagles high flying
    Who swept through the air
    To a secret lair
    Flying free slowly wheeling and gliding
    Flying free on the sea and the high plateau
    Flying free on the breeze without trying

    Two lonely travelers breaking ice
    By opening up a few old back pages
    And letting secrets out of their cages
    But wanting to remain perfect strangers

    'Cos I was on a night flight
    Floating above the world
    Yes it was the moonlight
    Painting the wings in pearl
    High above the clouds
    High above the world

    Yes I was on a night flight
    Lost in a different world
    I can see the starlight
    Silver a gypsy girl
    High above the clouds
    High above the world

    We were two lonely travelers
    In the sky that night
    Two lonely travelers, high flying
    Alone in the night on an endless flight
    Killing time with polite conversation
    Killing time in your shy hesitating way
    Killing time, killing my isolation

    Two lonely travelers breaking ice
    By opening up a few old back pages
    And letting secrets out of their cages
    But wanting to remain perfect strangers

    'Cos I was on a night flight
    Floating above the world
    Yes it was the moonlight

    High above the clouds
    High above the world

    Yes I was on a night flight

    Yes I was on a night flight

    Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
    Performer(s): Leslie Uggams - 1968
    and multiple other artists



    I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire
    I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up
    in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement
    I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames
    And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire"

    Is that all there is, is that all there is
    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
    Let's break out the booze and have a ball
    If that's all there is

    And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to a circus, the greatest show on earth
    There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears
    And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
    And so I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle
    I had the feeling that something was missing
    I don't know what, but when it was over
    I said to myself, "is that all there is to a circus?

    Is that all there is, is that all there is
    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
    Let's break out the booze and have a ball
    If that's all there is

    Then I fell in love, head over heels in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world
    We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
    We were so very much in love
    Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't
    and when I didn't I said to myself, "is that all there is to love?"

    Is that all there is, is that all there is
    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

    I know what you must be saying to yourselves
    if that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?
    Oh, no, not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment
    for I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
    when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my lst breath, I'll be saying to myself

    Is that all there is, is that all there is
    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
    Let's break out the booze and have a ball
    If that's all there is

    Listen to the ground
    There is movement all around
    There is something goin' down
    And I can feel it

    On the waves of the air
    There is dancin' out there
    If it's somethin' we can share
    We can steal it

    And that sweet city woman
    She moves through the light
    Controlling my mind and my soul
    When you reach out for me
    Yeah, and the feelin' is bright

    Then I get night fever, night fever
    We know how to do it
    Gimme that night fever, night fever
    We know how to show it

    Here I am
    Prayin' for this moment to last
    Livin' on the music so fine
    Borne on the wind
    Makin' it mine

    Night fever, night fever
    We know how to do it
    Gimme that night fever, night fever
    We know how to show it

    In the heat of our love
    Don't need no help for us to make it
    Gimme just enough to take us to the mornin'
    I got fire in my mind
    I got higher in my walkin'
    And I'm glowin' in the dark
    I give you warnin'

    And that sweet city woman
    She moves through the light
    Controlling my mind and my soul
    When you reach out for me
    Yeah, and the feelin' is bright

    Then I get night fever, night fever
    We know how to do it
    Gimme that night fever, night fever
    We know how to show it

    Here I am
    Prayin' for this moment to last
    Livin' on the music so fine
    Borne on the wind
    Makin' it mine

    Night fever, night fever
    We know how to do it
    Gimme that night fever, night fever
    We know how to show it

    Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
    From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold
    Look over there! (Where?)
    There's a lady that I used to know
    She's married now, or engaged, or something, so I am told

    Is she really going out with him?
    Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
    Is she really going out with him?
    'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
    There's something going wrong around here

    Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my street
    I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth
    Look over there! (Where?)
    Here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend
    They say that looks don't count for much
    If so, there goes your proof

    Is she really going out with him?
    Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
    Is she really going out with him?
    'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
    There's something going wrong around here

    But if looks could kill
    There's a man there who's more down as dead
    Cause I've had my fill
    Listen you, take your hands off her head
    I get so mean around this scene

    Is she really going out with him?
    Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
    Is she really going out with him?
    'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
    There's something going wrong around here

    Night Dreamer
    Composer(s): Kurt Elling; Wayne Shorter
    Performer(s): Kurt Elling



    Lonely the roses of Avondaire
    sing as though somebody still may care
    They live only for the dream of living
    so come follow where
    they will take you there

    I once was apprenticed
    to a man who was living
    in the eye if the hurricane
    to know despair

    He knew all the dreams by heart
    just like sailing in a boat of crystal silence
    seeing visions
    of the world
    of life within a life

    In a turning
    like a burning
    came turning
    out of everything stirring
    and what had begun before

    but all wrapped up
    in one great godly becoming

    Tumbling and fumbling and stumbling
    into bumbling and rumbling along

    whirling it and swirling it and twirling it and hurling it
    and overturning it and burning it again

    I shared a whirling dervish out on the side of a hill called metaphore vivace
    swinging en route to a nascent solar with the scissored visored blizzard wizard
    gizzarding planets and secrets within
    like an avatar

    While meanwhile
    in turnstyling
    and spinning over him
    spells bespeaking kingdoms in the dark

    calling me to yield
    knighting me in a field
    covered with armies
    and with princes
    All were signing
    cannons shining
    pennants flying

    And when he spoke to me he sang
    and his words really rang
    this child of the knowledge of the beauty of the night

    he sang to me of masters passing on
    of father after father after father
    climbing up into the lotus bloom
    upon the tortoise's back

    and of grandfathers
    who danced through their living a longer time ago
    He showed me a palace in time
    in which all the talismans from all the zeuses
    swing upon a pendulum of secrets
    in a circle that remembers
    and when asked a question will surrender

    every secret key to every hero's message
    given to every heart in time
    but only known to but a few
    or so it seems

    When I asked of them
    what shall I do to see the god?
    They only said
    the goldenrod
    which grows inside of
    every secret dream you dream
    while waiting for the god
    it's a symbol from the man in the fire
    ling you the thing you desire
    is a garment that covers the riddle of everything secretly wished for
    and of the world of which you are an inheritor

    Suddenly the chamber was flooded with light
    hurling me skyward like a meteorite

    When I fell to earth I saw everything in a blur
    I saw that time was accelerating in a curve

    and the palace in which I had stood
    it was flowing, like lava, on acres of woodland
    like a pompei-an mountain volcano
    making archipelago and destroying the planet
    at fortissimo

    bulldozing everything down
    to make room for what
    was a byzantine
    a labarynthine
    knotty mess of manifolding passageways
    a tangle of confusion
    where the walls made
    an asylum of baroque

    Like a joke
    words were spoken
    to provoke me
    and to toss me
    nude and empty
    to the sea

    But I would have none of it
    I simply turned my back and walked out
    of the dreamscape into landscape
    like a bedroom
    where I heard that

    Lonely the roses of solitaire
    sing as though somebody still may care
    They live only for the dream of living
    so come follow where they will take you there
    Stay awake - no mistake - dance the dream awake - and awake

    Zijn We Werkelijk Te Oud, Meneer?
    (Adapted from: Is She Really Going Out With Him? - 1979)
    (German Version: Geht Die Süße Wirklich Aus Mit Ihm? - 1991
    Composer(s): Joe Jackson; Patrick De Witte
    Performer(s): Patrick Riguelle & Paul Poelmans - 2003



    Hugo's sikje is ouder dan de nieuwe ministers
    Bartje Somers is jonger dan Hugo zijn pijp
    André Denys (wijs!)
    Hij wordt zelfs beschouwd als Methusalem
    Ook Gabriëls moest opzij, hij wordt stilaan wat te rijp

    Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer?
    Zijn wij plotseling nu rijp voor 't Zilverfonds?
    Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer?
    Nee wij zijn niet versleten
    We gaan bijlange niet met pensioen

    De dictatuur van de jeugd, de dictatuur der vernieuwing
    Ons grijze haar krijgt geen eerbied meer en geen respect
    Denys (wijs!)
    Hij werd al 3 keren over 't hoofd gezien
    Men wil ministers die wrapper konden zijn op Ketnet

    Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer?
    Zijn wij plotseling nu rijp voor 't Zilverfonds?
    Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer?
    Nee wij zijn niet versleten
    We gaan bijlange niet met pensioen

    In een korte broek
    Komen zij naar de wetstraat zestien
    Nu is het genoeg…
    Luister goed
    Wij zijn lang niet seniel
    Zo gaat dat niet, wij zijn nog kwiek
    Hey, hey, hey

    Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer?
    Zijn wij plotseling nu rijp voor 't Zilverfonds?
    Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer?
    Nee wij zijn niet versleten
    We gaan bijlange niet met pensioen

    Night Calls
    Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
    Performer(s): Joe Cocker



    The night gang started working
    With a mile of southern road
    As I watched
    I got to thinking
    You ain't never coming home
    I looked out of nowhere
    There was nobody at all
    To get me help
    To get through to you

    I'm here making night calls
    Night calls
    Making night calls
    Night calls
    Making night calls
    I gave

    I tried too hard to reach you
    But you must be moving fast
    All my hopes about the future
    Will just live on
    Into the past
    You know that it ain't easy
    And the twilight starts to fade
    Shouldn't you
    The chill of the morning
    Thinking of the plans we made

    Oh, night calls
    Making night calls
    Let it ring
    The night calls
    Making night calls
    Oh, night calls
    Give up those night calls
