Al Di La
(Italian Version: Al Di Là - 1961)
Composer(s): Mogol; Carlo Donida Labati; Ervin Drake
Performer(s): Connie Francis - 1962
and multiple other artists



Al di la, means you are far above me, very far
Al di la, as distant as the lovely evening star
Where you walk flowers bloom
When you smile all the gloom turns to sunshine
And my heart opens wide
When you're gone it fades inside and seems to have died

Al di la, I wondered as I drifted where you were
Al di la, the fog around me lifted, there you were
In the kiss that I gave was the love I had saved for a lifetime
Then I knew all of you was completely mine

Party Party
Composer(s): Elvis Costello
Performer(s): Elvis Costello



We're gonna drink enough tonight to drown the average army 
By New Year's Day the next door neighbour will be goin' barmy
(yep, that's how it's spelled) 
The milkman arrives at midday with his usual wisecrack 
Who knows a girl with Wednesday legs so when's they gonna snap? 

Chorus: 
Why does everybody have to be so hale and hearty 
Can't they see we're tryin' to have a party party party party 

The last thing I remember I was talkin' to some fellas 
Then she said she'd have a word for me with her good-looking mate 
And handed me a pint-pot filled with Advocaat and Tizer 
And I woke up in the flowerbed fearing fertilizer 

Chorus 

So shift yourself and shake your bod 
You got bullet proof insurance from fire, flood and Act of God 
You got to learn from your mistakes 
When you got a face like last week's Cornflakes 

The doors and the window frames are by Pablo Picasso 
The party decorations owned by Michelangelo 
The fine music that you hear is by Stravinsky 
with overall design by Leonardo daVinci 

Chorus 

So shift yourself and shake your bod 
You got bullet proof insurance from fire, flood and Act of God 
You got to learn from your mistakes 
When you got a face like last week's Cornflakes 

Two boys are upstairs in your bed 
Three girls are downstairs cryin' 
The Alka Seltzer in the glass is roarin' like a lion 
You think you've aged 10 years tonight and still never been kissed 
So you overdose on aftershave and try to slash your wrist 

Chorus

Silly Thing
Composer(s): Paul Cook; Steve Jones
Performer(s): The Sex Pistols



What you see, you can get
Nothing's free, nothing's said
Don't be fooled by the signs
Don't read in between the lines

What you're gonna say
What you're gonna do
Now you've missed out once again
But I thought you knew

Oh you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now
Oh you silly thing
You really gone and done it now

Trouble here, trouble there
People stop just to stare
What's the use of wasting time
Just move on, leave 'em all behind

What you're gonna say
What you're gonna do
Now you've missed out once again
But I thought you knew

Oh you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now
Oh you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now

Can't you ever depend
On someone you call a friend
When you see the naked eyes
You don't even ask 'em why
You don't even ask 'em why

Oh you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now
Oh you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now

Party Line
Composer(s): Ray Davies; Dave Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks



(Hello, who’s that speaking, please?)

I’m on a party line
Wonderin’ all the time
Who’s on the other end? 
Is she big, is she small? 
Is she a she at all? 
Who’s on my party line? 

Wish I had a more direct connection
This party line was here when I arrived
And I’m not voting in the next election
If they don’t do something about finding out
The person who is on my party line

I’m on a party line
I’m on a party line

I can’t speak without an interception
This is private, please get off my line
Please tell me when I can have my privacy
I’d like to meet the girl who’s always talking
When I’m speaking on my party line

Wish I had a more direct connection
This party line was here when I arrived
And I’m not voting in the next election
If they don’t do something about finding out
The person who is on my party line

Are You Sure?
Composer(s): Bob Allison; John Allison
First performance by: The Allisons - 1961



Goodbye, goodbye
farewell, farewell
I'm not sure what to do
So long, so long
Au revoir, au revoir
it's hard but I'll pull through

Are you sure you won't be sorry?
Comes tomorrow, you won't want me
Back again to hold you tightly?

Now are you sure
it's not your foolish heart?
That you won't grieve
if we're to be apart?
You will see, as time goes by
We'll grow lonely, you and I
Dreaming of each other
And we'll cry

Goodbye, goodbye
Farewell, farewell
I'm not sure what to do

So long, so long
Au revoir, au revoir
It's hard but I'll pull through

Are you sure you won't be sorry?
Comes tomorrow, you won't want me
Back again to hold you tightly?

Just stop and think
It's your decision now
For you're the one
Who went and broke the vow
You'll be sorry, wait and see
Spend your life in misery
Wishing that
You had returned to me

Goodbye, goodbye
Farewell, farewell
What is there to live for?

Before you go
just think now, are you sure?

Are you sure you won't be sorry?
Comes tomorrow, you won't want me
Back again to hold you tightly
In my arms?

Silly Me
Composer(s): Ben Weisman; Roberts Etoll
Performer(s): Reba McEntire



Funny how love comes and goes
With the tears that fill my life, does it show
So listen to my heart beat once again
Because of you I hope this feeling never ends

Silly me, I fell in love again
We started out as friends
You'd think I would have learned
From the hurt before
Foolish me, should I have closed the door
Promised, even swore
To never love this way
Oh, foolish me

They say that love's a chance you take
You know I've had my share
But when the nights get oh, so cold
I need you there

They say that love's a chance you take
You know I've had my share
But when the nights get oh, so cold
I need you there

Silly me, I fell in love again
We started out as friends
You'd think I would have learned
Oh, foolish me
Silly me

Nous Les Amoureux
Composer(s): Maurice Vidalin; Jacques Datin
First performance by: Jean-Claude Pascal - 1961



Nous les amoureux
On voudrait nous séparer
On voudrait nous empêcher
D'être heureux
Nous les amoureux
Il paraît que c'est l'enfer
Qui nous guette
Ou bien le fer
Et le feu
C'est vrai, les imbéciles et les méchants
Nous font du mal, nous jouent des tours
Pourtant rien n'est plus évident
Que l'amour
Nous les amoureux
Nous ne pouvons rien contre eux
Ils sont mille et l'on est deux
Les amoureux

Mais l'heure va sonner
Des nuits moins difficiles
Et je pourrai t'aimer
Sans qu'on en parle en ville
C'est promis
C'est écrit

Nous les amoureux
Le soleil brille pour nous
Et l'on dort sur les genoux
Du bon Dieu
Nous les amoureux
Il nous a donné le droit
Au bonheur et à la joie
D'être deux
Alors, les sans-amour, les mal-aimés,
Il faudra bien nous acquitter
Vous qui n'avez jamais été
Condamnés
Nous les amoureux
Nous allons vivre sans vous
Car le ciel est avec nous
Les amoureux 

Party Heart 
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant
Performer(s): Roy Orbison



You've got a party heart, a gay time party heart 
You're only happy when the party's going on 
And it makes me sad because I know that party's have to end 
And when this party's over, you'll be gone 

I love your party heart your playful party heart 
But though you make me laugh you also make me cry 
Cause I know you only think of me as just a party friend 
And when the party's done you'll say goodbye 

A playtime girl like you plays lots of thrills in life it seems 
But oh, what I'd ever give to be the playboy of your dreams 
I'd tame your party heart, your fickle party heart 
And someday that's just what some party boy will do 

But I love you so, I guess that I'll cry just as much as you 
When someone breaks your party heart in two (3x)

Silly Love Songs
Composer(s): Paul McCartney
First release by: Wings - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists



You'd think that people would have had enough of Silly Love Songs
But I look around me and I see it isn't so
Some people wanna fill the world with Silly Love Songs
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know, 'cause here I go again
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you

I can't explain the feeling's plain to me; say can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me
Now can't you see, what's wrong with that
I need to know, 'cause here I go again
I love you, I love you

Love doesn't come in a minute
sometimes it doesn't come at all
I only know that when I'm in it
It isn't silly, no, it isn't silly
Love isn't silly at all

How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?

How can I tell you about my loved one?
(I love you)
How can I tell you about my loved one?
(I love you)

Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll 
I wanna make love to you, to you

Well I saw a gal walkin' down the street
The kind of a gal I'd love to meet
She had blonde hair and eyes of blue
Baby I wanna have a party with you

Chorus

Every man has got to have a party doll
To be with him when he's feelin' wild
To be everlovin', true and fair
To run her fingers through his hair
To run her fingers through his hair

Chorus

Angelique
First performance by: Dario Campeotto - 1961



Hvor er du dejlig Angelique
Hvad er stjernerne imod dit klare blik
Din stemme klinger som den sødeste musik
Og dit væsen er skabt af drøm og romantik

Gik jeg med Shakespeares digterhat
Skrev jeg digte til dig både dag og nat
Og var jeg hyldet i Carusos kappe
Ja så sang jeg og sang for dig

Og jeg malte dig yndig og blu
Ku' jeg male som Rembrandt han ku'
Og jeg tilbad dig på violin
Ku' jeg spille som Menuhin

Men alle muser gav mig nej
Jeg behersker ikke sang og strengeleg
Giv mig nu bare lov at drømme lidt om dig, Angelique
Så jeg føler mig, som blot en enkelt lille brik i dit livs mosaik

Rundt om i verden der findes der dejlige piger
No'n har det blide og no'n har det ildfulde blik
Men om jeg søgte i alle de dejligste riger
Fandt jeg dog ingen så yndig som du Angelique

Gik jeg med Shakespeares digterhat
Skrev jeg digte til dig både dag og nat
Og var jeg hyldet i Carusos kappe
Ja så sang jeg og sang for dig

Og jeg malte dig yndig og blu
Ku' jeg male som Rembrandt han ku'
Og jeg tilbad dig på violin
Ku' jeg spille som Menuhin

Men alle muser gav mig nej
Jeg behersker ikke sang og strengeleg
Giv mig nu bare lov at drømme lidt om dig, Angelique
Så jeg føler mig, som blot en enkelt lille brik i dit livs mosaik

Angelique, du min dejlige Angelique
Min Angelique

Silly Love
Composer(s): Lol Creme; Eric Stewart
Performer(s): 10 cc



Hey, toots, you put the life into living 
You brought the sigh into sight 
Ah, hon, you make my legs turn to water 
You bring the stars out at night 
But they ain't half so bright 
As your eyes 
Gee whiz you take the beauty out of beautiful 
You play the strings of my heart 
Oh, babe, you take the wonder out of wonderful 
Oh my, oh my, and my, if you were mine 
The rain would turn to sweet, sweet wine 
Well he's been up all night 
Breaking his head in two to write 
A little sonnet for his chickadee 
But between you and me 
I think its silly 
Silly 
Oh, treas, you got a smile like a Rembrandt 
Aha, you got the style of a queen 
Oh, dear, you are the petal of a rosebud 
And next to you all the others could be weeds 
You're the only one my garden needs 
Ooh, you know the art of conversation 
Must be dying 
Ooh, when a romance depends on 
Clichés, and toupees and threepes 
We're up to here with mooning and juning 
If you want to sound sincere 
Don't rely on Crosby's crooning 
Take a little time 
Make up your own rhyme 
Don't rely on mine, 'cause it's 
Silly - silly - silly - silly 

Part-Time Lover
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder;
and various other artists



Call up, ring once, hang up the phone
To let me know you made it home
Don't want nothing to be wrong with part-time lover

If she's with me I'll blink the lights
To let you know tonight's the night
For me and you my part-time lover

We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right

If I'm with friends and we should meet
Just pass me by, don't even speak
Know the word's "discreet" when part-time lovers

But if there's some emergency
Have a male friend to ask for me
So then she won't peek its really you my part-time lover

We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right

We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right

I've got something that I must tell
Last night someone rang our doorbell
And it was not you my part-time lover

And then a man called our exchange
But didn't want to leave his name
I guess that two can play the game
Of part-time lovers
You and me, part-time lovers
But, she and he, part-time lovers

September, Gouden Roos
First performance by: Bob Benny - 1961



Een gouden roos, september
een laatste zonnezoen
een merel fluit vol heimwee
't refrein van een seizoen
Nog zal de zomer zingen
een diep ontroerend lied
dat zachtjes zal versterven
ons blijft alleen verdriet
De dagen vertragen en schuiven toe
de zomer wordt moe, o zo moe
Nu moeten wij gaan scheiden
Ons hart wordt stil en broos
wanneer wij weer zien bloeien 
september, gouden roos

Zodra in 't bos de eerste blaren vallen
en rode wingerd fluistert aan mijn raam
als avondnevels in de dalen hangen
dan weet ik dat de zomer is gedaan
Maar voor hij gaat zal hij nog even dralen
alsof hij 't afscheid wil betalen met

Een gouden roos, september
een laatste zonnezoen
een merel fluit vol heimwee
't refrein van een seizoen
Nog zal de zomer zingen
een diep ontroerend lied
dat zachtjes zal versterven
ons blijft alleen verdriet
De dagen vertragen en schuiven toe
de zomer wordt moe, o zo moe
Nu moeten wij gaan scheiden
Ons hart wordt stil en broos
wanneer wij weer zien bloeien 
september, gouden roos

Partout C'est L'amour
Composer(s): Barbara Erwin; Louis Poterat
Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier



Les savants deviennent gagas
Pour découvrir avec tracas
Les mystères d'ici-bas

Je les plains sincèrement
Car sur la terre simplement
Tout peut s'expliquer en chantant

C'est l'amour
Qui fait siffler les merles
C'est l'amour
Qui fait briller les perles
C'est l'amour
Qui parcourt, y souffle et déferle

C'est l'amour
Qui fait chanter les harpes
C'est l'amour
Qui fait bailler les carpes
C'est l'amour
Qui fait la guerre dans les basses-cour

C'est lui qui fait
On l'entend au printemps
Les buissons crier, au moment

C'est l'amour
Qui fait tomber les prunes
C'est l'amour
Qui fait loucher la lune
C'est l'amour
Toujours partout, c'est l'amour

À quoi bon lire Cicéron
Socrate, Homère, ou même Platon
Et se bourrer d'érudition

Faire bouillir des cornus
Scruter le ciel dans un longue vue
Voici la vérité toute nue

C'est l'amour
Qui fait rougir les roses
C'est l'amour
Qui flanque de l'ankylose
C'est l'amour
Qui fait boire de la giratose

C'est l'amour
Qui rend sourd les concierges
C'est l'amour
Qui mûrit les asperges
C'est l'amour
Qui fait courir Police-Secours

C'est lui qui fait
Que les arbres ont des bourgeons
Et les petits jeunes gens, des boutons

C'est l'amour
Qui fait pleurer le trombone
C'est l'amour
Qui fait grossir la bonne
C'est l'amour
Toujours partout, c'est l'amour...

Oui, c'est l'amour!

Right now if we wait
For the opportunity
Then we would see
The sun is reversing

Ah, plasticine walls forever
And overly happy
With your aloof scene
Go off the ledge to snow
Wish them good night

Oh gorgeous madman
You are illuminated

Ah, if he preached
The words they beat on
And ignored him
With their moral in lust
Whose four-inch dagger
Blind your mother's eye to stop

Oooh, are you ugly
Silly boys love you

Yeah, sit up
They're armed with hooks
They'll harm her
You're smashed with Ignace

Hark and enamour me
May I survive?
Oh, Sir Army Suit
You're psychic

Dear Abbie I'd write you this letter
But your address is unknown

Since you left us all alone

Where are they now they're all gone free
All love to see you and tell you hello
But you live in secrecy

I see where Tom is planning to join the government
And Rennie says this friend of his is probably Heavensent
Jerry's into threapy and says he feels content
Oh oh oh oh oh

Lee is back on welfare John's up in the east
Dave is still resistinh he hasn't changed the least
And Bobby could run Oakland if the prisoners were released
Oh oh oh oh oh

Dear Abbie I wish they would let you
Come back to us again
And truly I hope they don't get you
And slam you in the pen

Partners in crime in the streets of Chicago
