Dukkemann Composer(s): Tor Hultin - Ola B. Johannessen
First performance by: Kirsti Sparboe - 1967
Det var en søt liten dukkemann en så fri og freidig og glad Han lo av de andre små dukker, han å ja For denne særegne dukkemann tenk, han var skarpsindig som få Han sa at de henger jo alle mann i tråd
Han lo av de dumme små dukker som danset på ordre fra noe de ikke forstod Han lo så han hikstet, men plutselig stanset han opp, for hans tråd den ble klippet i to
Og se vår særegne dukkemann han forstod: Hvis dansen skal gå da må man nok sprelle som alle mann i tråd
Han lo av de dumme små dukker som danset på ordre fra noe de ikke forstod Han lo så han hikstet, men plutselig stanset han opp, for hans tråd den ble klippet i to Så ble vår særegne dukkemann uten liv og måtte forstå en tråd har en snelle så hvis man vil telle da må man nok sprelle som alle mann i tråd
Pet Sematary Composer(s): Dee Dee Ramone; Daniel Rey Performer(s): The Ramones; and various other artists
Under the arc of a weather stain boards Ancient goblins, and warlords Come out of the ground, not making a sound The smell of death is all around And the night when the cold wind blows No one cares, nobody knows
[Chorus] I don't want to be buried in a pet sematary I don't want to live my life again I don't want to be buried in a pet sematary I don't want to live my life again
Follow Victor to the sacred place This ain't a dream, I can't escape Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones Spirits moaning among the tombstones And the night, when the moon is bright Someone cries, something ain't right
The moon is full, the air is still All of a sudden I feel a chill Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away Skeletons dance, I curse this day And the night when the wolves cry out Listen close and you can hear me shout
If I Could Sing You A Rainbow I'd Leave Out The Rainy Day And With Colors For My Feelin's And Things I Want To Say To You If I Could Make A Blue Sky Out Of The Clouds Of Grey I'd Give You A Golden Sunset And Still All I Can Say Is How Would You Love Me If I Should Sing You A Rainbow? If I Could Sing You A Rainbow No Need To Bring You Flowers I Think You'd Understand From The Minutes And The Hours That We Were Together And I'm Singing You A Rainbow I Could Simply Say I Love You Too And That Won't Do I Can Take Your Hand And Hope That You Would Understand If I Could Sing You A Rainbow I'd Leave Out The Rainy Day And With Colors For My Feelin's And Things I Want To Say To You If I Could Make A Blue Sky Out Of The Clouds Of Grey I'd Give You A Golden Sunset And Still All I Can Say Is How Would You Love Me If I Should Sing You A Rainbow? Singin' A Rainbow, Watchin' The Rain Go... Singin' A Rainbow, Watchin' The Rain Go... Singin' A Rainbow, Watchin' The Rain Go...
Pesce Veloce Del Baltico Composer(s): Paolo Conte Performer(s): Paolo Conte
Vecchi i cristalli tintinnano nel trasandato hotel luci sinistre han le musiche non è il "Guglielmo Tell" la radio situata nel angolo di semioscurità sembra una pagoda mongola dell'infelicità
Da-dam, da-dam, da-dam, ...
Viaggiatori di commercio rifuggiatisi quassù piccioni dalle ali bagnate la pioggia sedia e non smette più guardano a turno il telefono sempre impassibilie il loro tempo si sbriciola sembra passabile
Da-dam, da-dam, da-dam, ...
Uno dalla scala a chiocciola scende da basso e sta fermo sul legno che scrichiola per la sua vetustà sì, venditori vecchi incantatori, suggestionatori la strada fatta là fuori è stata percorsa già
Da-dam, da-dam, da-dam, ...
"Pesce Veloce del Baltico" dice il menu che contorno han torta di mais e poi servono polenta e baccalà cucina povera e umile fatta d'ingenuità caduta nel gorgo perfido della celebrità della celebrità

Singing Waterfall Composer(s): Hank Williams Performer(s): Hank Williams and multiple other artists
There's a singin' waterfall In the mountains far away That's where I long to be At the close of ev'ry day That's where my sweetheart's sleepin' Down beneath the clay I often sit and wonder Why the Lord took her away
We'd meet there ev'ry ev'nin' When the sun was sinkin'low And we'd listen to the waters As they rippled soft and low And since she's gone to Heaven I miss her most of all Tonight my darlin's sleepin' By the singin' waterfall
Last night as I lay dreamin' I heard my darlin' call And then I went to meet her By the singin' waterfall She took me in her arms Just like she used to do And then I heard her whisper We'll meet beyond the blue
We'd meet there ev'ry ev'nin' When the sun was sinkin'low And we'd listen to the waters As they rippled soft and low And since she's gone to Heaven I miss her most of all Tonight my darlin's sleepin' By the singin' waterfall
J'ai peur de ne prendre intérêt à rien du tout Mais à personne Je ne m'en irai plaindre même pas à vous Belle personne Vous que j'aime, que j'aimerai, que j'ai aimée Plus que personne Vous qui faites l'innocente vous le savez Mieux que personne
Non jamais je n'aurais dû porter la main sur Votre personne Il me fallait me maîtriser, être plus sûr De ma personne Pour qui me prenez vous, mais non je n'en dirai Rien à personne Croyez-moi je vous ferai passer pour une ai- Mable personne
Bien sûr, si je vous dis tout ceci, je ne veux Blesser personne Ce sont là quelques vérités qui ne font de Mal à personne Peut-être aurais-je dû vous les dire à la troi- Sième personne Je reconnais que je suis assez maladroit De ma personne
Jamais plus je n'aimerai comme je t'aimais Ma belladone Oui, tu m'as coûté les yeux de la tête, mais Je te pardonne Je ne dois et je crois bien n'avoir jamais dû Rien à personne Jamais je ne me suis aussi bien entendu Qu'avec personne
Singing The Dolphin (aka Singing The Dolphin Through)
Composer(s): Mike Heron
First release by: Mike Heron - 1975
Covered by: Manfred Mann's Earth Band - 1976
Farewell Plymouth, your morning cold
And grey
Is painting shadows on my thoughts
And we're bound for nowhere
Joseph, I know you're trusting me to see
You right
And I know you can't stand the fighting
For one more night
Joseph, the mud gives way to coral
Somewhere
And the hours of light they last and last
We'll see no more hostile flag there
From craft unknown we will have grown free
From sighing
Singing the dolphin through
Singing the dolphin through
Singing the dolphin through
Still waters
Personality Crisis Composer(s): David Johansen; Johnny Thunders Performer(s): New York Dolls
Well we can't take it this week And her friends don't want another speach Hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say
All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot But now frustration and heartache is what you got (That's why they talk about Personality)
But now your tryin to be some no you got to do some Wanna be someone who cow wow wows But you think about the times you did they took every ounce When it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout You got to contradict all those times you were butterflyin' about
(You were butterflyin') All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot But now frustration and heartache is what you got
And your a prima ballerina on a spring afternoon Change on into the wolfman howlin at the moon hooowww
All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot But now frustration and heartache is what you got
Now with all the crossin fingers that mother nature says Your mirrors get jammed up with all your friends
That personality everything starts to blend Personality when your mind starts to blend Personality impression of a friend, Of a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend Personality wonderin how celebrities ever met (Look and find out on television)
Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot Frustration and heartache is all you got, don't you worry Personality Crisis please don't cry It's just a Personality Crisis, please don't stop
Personality Composer(s): Harold Logan; Lloyd Price Performer(s): Lloyd Price; and various other artists

Over and over I said that I loved you Over and over, honey Now it's the truth Over and over They still say I'm a fool But Over and over I'll be a fool for you
Personality Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen Performer(s): Johnny Mercer; and various other artists
When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor Said all the gentlemen "Obviously," "The madam has the cutest personality"
And think of all the books about Du Barry's looks What was it made her the toast of Paree? She had a well-developed personality
(What did Romeo see in Juliet?) (Or Figaro in Figarette?) (Or Jupiter in Juno?) You know!
And when Salome danced and had the boys entranced No doubt it must have been easy to see That she knew how to use her personality
(A girl can learn to spell and take dictation well) (And never sit on the boss's left knee) (Unless she's got a perfect personality)
(A girl can get somewhere in spite of stringy hair) (Or even just a bit bowed at the knee) (If she can show a faultless personality)
Why are certain girls offered certain things Like sable coats and wedding rings? By men who wear their spats right? (That's right!)
(So don'tcha say "I'm smart and have the kindest heart" (Or "what a wonderful sister I'd be") Just tell me how you like my Mercer> "Rufff!! (Personality)
Persona No Grata Composer(s): Mario Pupparo Performer(s): Raphael
Tú nunca cambias de música Sólo cambias de instrumento No hablo por boca de otros Lo he aprendido sufriendo Esperando a que abrieras la puerta Y mirando tu pelo revuelto Y tú siempre esquivando mis ojos Y el adentro escondido en silencio Tú engañando, yo sufriendo Te declaro Persona no grata Te retiro Mi amor por estafa Y no voy a escuchar tus disculpas No te creo ni media palabra Que perdona y perdona Aquí no hay perdón que valga No, no, no, no Tú nunca cambias de música Sólo cambias de instrumento No hablo por boca de otros Lo he aprendido sufriendo Esperando en la calle desierta Y mordiendo mis uñas y el tiempo Y tú siempre inventando pretextos Y yo siempre callando y creyendo Tú engañando y yo sufriendo Te declaro Persona no grata Te retiro Mi amor por estafa
Singing In The Rain Composer(s): Arthur Freed; Nacio Herb Brown Performer(s): Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards and multiple other artists
I'm singin' in the rain Just singin' in the rain What a glorious feeling I'm happy again! I'm laughing at clouds So dark up above The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love! Let the stormy clouds chase Everyone from the place Come on with your rain I've got a smile on my face! I'll walk down the lane With a happy refrain Just singin', singin' in the rain!
Why am I smiling and why do I sing? Why does December seem sunny as Spring? Why do I get up each morning to start Happy and head-up with joy in my heart? Why is each new task a trifle to do? Because I am living a life full of you!
Hey, I'm singin' in the rain Just singin' in the rain What a glorious feeling I'm happy again! I'm laughing at clouds So dark up above The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love! Let the stormy clouds chase Everyone from the place Come on with your rain I've got a smile on my face! I'll walk down the lane With a happy refrain Just singin', singin' in the rain!
Person To Person Composer(s): The Average White Band; Alan Gorrie; Hamish Stuart Performer(s): The Average White Band
Telephone line, bad connection And I'm half asleep Makin' conversation with you should be easy But it ain't Wish you could be with me There would be no problem Our communication's bad And I want to see you again
Person to person, face to face Person to person, one to one Person to person, touching hands Person to person, that's what love demands
Six weeks, long time to be without you sugar But what can I do Working hard on the other side of the world Might as well be on the moon Wish that I could write it all down And put it in a letter to you Feelin' like I do right now Won't make it any better to you Just got to be
Person to person, face to face Person to person, one to one Person to person, we can't replace Person to person, that's just how it gets done
Person to person, line to line Person to person, just keepin' time
