Intet Er Nytt Under Solen First performance by: Åse Kleveland - 1966
Jeg vet om en gammel mann, en som har levd lenge Jeg vet om en gammel mann, en som har levd lenge Han er så snill når han spør meg om hva som har hendt meg Og om solen har brent meg
Jeg prater og søker trøst, han gynger i stolen Han sier med sprukken røst: Intet er nytt under solen
Men hva har vel det å si om ting har hendt før meg? Men hva har vel det å si om ting har hendt før meg? Nei, det som gjør meg så vondt med alt det som han visste At hans øyne er triste
Hva har jeg å vente på meg selv der i stolen? Når han er så trist der nå, intet er nytt under solen
Dort wo man singt und lacht da ist Pepe Wer jeden glücklich macht das ist Pepe Und alle kinder gross und klein Laufen ihm selig hinterdrein Hippihopp, hippihop Über stock und stein Und rufen
Wer hat ein goldnes herz? Unser Pepe! Wer kennt den neusten scherz? Unser Pepe! Und wenn du einmal traurig bist Weil dich die ganze welt vergiBt Ja dann frag nur nach Pepe Pepe si si
Sein sombrero Ist so alt wie mexiko Pepe ist kein caballero Er ist klein aber oho!
Von San Diego bis merita Ist er überall zu haus Auch die schönste Senorita Weinte sich schön bei ihrn aus
Dort wo man singt und lacht da ist Pepe Wer jeden glücklich macht das ist Pepe Und alle kinder gross und klein Laufen ihm selig hinterdrein Hippihopp, hippihop Über Stock und Stein Und rufen
Wer hat ein goldnes herz? Unser Pepe! Wer kennt den neusten scherz? Unser Pepe! Und wenn du einmal traurig bist Weil dich die ganze welt vergisst Ja dann frag nur nach Pepe, Pepe Oh Pepe oh Pepe, si si

Sing as we go and let the world go by Singing a song we march along the highway Say goodbye to sorrow Theres always tomorrow to think of today Sing as we go, although the skies are grey Beggar or king, youve got to sing a gay tune

All the people at this party They've got a lot of style They've got stamps of many countries They've got passport smiles Some are friendly Some are cutting Some are watching it from the wings Some are standing in the centre Giving to get something
Photo Beauty gets attention Then her eye paint's running down She's got a rose in her teeth And a Iampshade crown One minute she's so happy Then she's crying on someone's knee Saying laughing and crying You know it's the same release
I told you when I met you I was crazy Cry for us all Beauty Cry for Eddie in the corner Thinking he's nobody And Jack behind his joker And stone-cold Grace behind her fan And me in my frightened silence Thinking I don't understand
I feel like I'm sleeping Can you wake me You seem to have a broader sensibility I'm just living on nerves and feelings With a weak and a lazy mind And coming to peoples parties Fumbling deaf dumb and blind
I wish I had more sense ot humor Keeping the sadness at bay Throwing the lightness on these things Laughing it all away Laughing it alI away Laughing it all away
Sing Another Song, Boys Composer(s): Leonard Cohen Performer(s): Leonard Cohen
Ah his fingernails, I see they're broken his ships they're all on fire The moneylender's lovely little daughter ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire She spies him through the glasses from the pawnshops of her wicked father She hails him with a microphone that some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her She tempts him with a clarinet she waves a Nazi dagger She finds him lying in a heap she wants to be his woman He says, "Yes, I might go to sleep but kindly leave, leave the future, leave it open"
He stands where it is steep oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one his hand upon his leather belt now like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner And she will learn to touch herself so well as all the sails burn down like paper And he has lit the chain of his famous cigarillo Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon at least not the one that we're after it's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends and it carries no survivors But lets leave these lovers wondering why they cannot have each other and let's sing another song, boys this one has grown old and bitter
Ce Soir Je T'attendais
Composer(s): J. Chaumelle - B. Kesslair
First performance by: Michèle Torr - 1966
Le vent peut bien secouer les branches Sur la rue les volets sont clos Sur une nappe blanche Quelques roses se penchent Sur un couvert dressé pour deux La mélodie que tu préfères Repose sur le bord du piano Tout est prêt je l'espère Je n'ai plus rien à faire Que d'ouvrir car j'entends ton pas Et te voilà mais ne prends pas l'air étonné
Car je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais J'étais si sûre que tu viendrais Oui je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais J'avais raison de t'espérer
Nous nous sommes fait beaucoup de peine On s'est quittés pour quelques mots C'est de l'histoire ancienne Je sais bien que tu m'aimes C'est pourquoi je guettais ton pas Et me voilà là devant toi Tendant les bras
Car je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais J'étais si sûre que tu viendrais Oui je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais J'avais raison de t'espérer
Oui je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais Pour te garder à tout jamais Oui je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais!
People Talkin' Composer(s): Lucinda Williams Performer(s): Lucinda Williams
People...trying to tear us apart Trying to rip out my heart People talkin' People talkin'
Livin' is full of misery and pain Somebody called you a dirty name Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin'
I love you more than this cruel world will ever know I wanna be your girl forever I don't wanna let you go If I could change things I would die and return Another name and Knowin' everything I've learned People talkin' People talkin'
All of my life I have tried to get along All I ever hear now Is gossip and waggin' tongues
I have suffered and I've cried myself to sleep I have wandered down these highways and dirty streets Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin'
People tryin' to tear us apart Tryin' to rip out my heart People talkin' People talkin
Livin' is full of misery and pain Somebody called you a dirty name Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin'
People talkin People talkin' Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin'
People talkin' People talkin' Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin' People talkin' People talkin'
People Make The World Go Round Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed Performer(s): The Stylistics
Trashmen didn't get my trash today Oh, why? Because they want more pay Buses on strike want a raise in fare So they can help pollute the air
But that's what makes the world go 'round The up and down, the carousel Changing people, they'll go around Go underground, young man People make the world go 'round
Wall Street losin' dough on ev'ry share They're blaming it on longer hair Big men smokin' in their easy chairs On a fat cigar without a care
But that's what makes the world go 'round The up and down, the carousel Changing people, they'll go around Go underground, young man People make the world go 'round
But that's what makes the world go 'round The up and down, the carousel Changing people, they'll go around Go underground, young man People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round People make the world go 'round People make the world go 'round
Sing A Song Of Sunbeams Composer(s): Johnny Burke; James V. Monaco Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Bob Cats; John Scott Trotter
Some search for solace in a sad and somber song And delve into the depths of that dominion While others thrive on things that terrify the throng I guess it's just a matter of opinion
'Cause I say sing a song of sunbeams Let the notes fall where they may Sing a song of sunbeams In a light fantastic way
Show the blues you're busy That you just can't be annoyed And they'll up and go, 'cause they know They're null and void
People all are suckers for a grin You give out, they're gonna give in People always love a jolly gent They might even make you president
Why don't you sing a song of sunbeams Let the notes fall where they may Sing a song of sunbeams In a light fantastic way
Life is never perfect But it isn't always wrong So the only thing to do is sing A sunbeam song
People Like You, People Like Me Composer(s): Gerry Sheppard; John Springate Performer(s): Glitter Band
Let's get together again all you need is here to stay Let's get together again forget about your yesterdays Let's get together again all you need is here to stay

Let's get together again all you need is here to stay
Tomorrow's just a step away till I come running back to you I hope you'll stay here by my side; I thought I'd never see My angel back here next to me Promise me that you won't hide The phone's right next to you and you know just what to do
Let's get together again all you need is here to stay
And you know there ain't much time I'm so alone please come home I'm on my own let's get together again
Stop, Mens Legen Er Go' First performance by: Ulla Pia - 1966
Går en pige hjem fra sit første bal Sker det, at hendes ven går blot lidt for vidt Ja, det sker så tit, men hun svarer igen
Stop, ja, stop, ja, stop, mens legen er go' For jeg kan fornemme, at du nok vil glemme At jeg må hjem klokken to Tænk, ja, tænk, ja, tænk om drømmene brast For du ka' vel nok forstå Tiden går helt i stå, når du holder så fast
Lad os bare vandre af sted uden mål eller med Nyde stjernehimmelens ro, den er skabt for os to
Kom, ja, kom, ja, kom, måske si'r jeg top Når tiden er inde til kærlighedspuslespil Det bli'r uden et 'stop'
Lad os bare vandre af sted uden mål eller med Nyde stjernehimmelens ro, den er skabt for os to
Kom, ja, kom, ja, kom, måske si'r jeg top Når tiden er inde til kærlighedspuslespil Det bli'r uden et 'stop'
People Have The Power Composer(s): Patti Smith; Fred "Sonic" Smith Performer(s): Patti Smith
I was dreaming in my dreaming of an aspect bright and fair and my sleeping it was broken but my dream it lingered near in the form of shining valleys where the pure air recognized and my senses newly opened I awakened to the cry that the people / have the power to redeem / the work of fools upon the meek / the graces shower it's decreed / the people rule
The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power
Vengeful aspects became suspect and bending low as if to hear and the armies ceased advancing because the people had their ear and the shepherds and the soldiers lay beneath the stars exchanging visions and laying arms to waste / in the dust in the form of / shining valleys where the pure air / recognized and my senses / newly opened I awakened / to the cry
Refrain
Where there were deserts I saw fountains like cream the waters rise and we strolled there together with none to laugh or criticize and the leopard and the lamb lay together truly bound I was hoping in my hoping to recall what I had found I was dreaming in my dreaming god knows / a purer view as I surrender to my sleeping I commit my dream to you
Refrain
The power to dream / to rule to wrestle the world from fools it's decreed the people rule it's decreed the people rule
Listen I believe everything we dream can come to pass through our union we can turn the world around we can turn the earth's revolution we have the power People have the power ...
Sing a song of sixpence A pocket full of rye Four and twenty blackbirds Baked in a pie When the pie was opened The birds began to sing Was that not a tasty dish To set before a king? The King was in his counting house Counting out his money The Queen was in the parlor Eating bread and honey The Maid was in the garden Hanging out the clothes When down came a blackbird And snapped off her nose!

Die Zeiger Der Uhr First performance by: Margot Eskens - 1966
Du liest noch manchmal die alten Briefe, die er dir schrieb Worin dir jede Zeile sagte: "Ich hab dich lieb" Du schliesst die Augen und träumst von ihm Und vom verlornen Glück
Doch die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück
Du hast noch viele schöne Bilder aus jener Zeit Um diese wunderbaren Jahre tut es dir leid Du schliesst die Augen, träumst von ihm Und vom verlornen Glück
Doch die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück
Du fühlst dich einsam und träumst von gestern Doch du lebst heut Einer wird kommen, der dich von deinen Träumen befreit Du schliesst die Augen Und dann beginnt für dich ein neues Glück
Denn die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück
Die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück
People Get Ready Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield Performer(s): The Impressions
People get ready, there's a train comin' You don't need no baggage, you just get on board All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord
People get ready, there's a train to Jordan Picking up passengers coast to coast Faith is the key, open the doors and board them There's hope for all among those loved the most There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner whom would hurt all mankind Just to save his own Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner For there is no hiding place against the kingdoms throne
People get ready there's a train comin' You don't need no baggage, just get on board All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' You don't need no ticket, just thank the lord
