Pride Of Man Composer(s): Hamilton Camp Performer(s): Quicksilver Messenger Service
Turn around go back down back the way you came Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day? And behold a mighty city broken in the dust again Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again
Turn around go back down back the way you came Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen in the ways Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again
Turn around go back down back the way you came Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed For theose who place their faith in fire, their faith in fire shall be repayed Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again
Turn around go back down back the way you came And shout a warning unto the nation that the sword of God is raised Yes, Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasures, wide in fame Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again
The meek shall cause your tower to fall, make a new pyre of flame Oh you who dwell on many waters, rich in treasures, wide in fame you bow unto your God of gold, your pride of might shall be a shame For only God can lead His people back unto the Earth again
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again A Holy mountain be restored, and mercy on that people, that people...

Pride (In The Name Of Love) Composer(s): U2 Performer(s): U2
One man come in the name of love One man come and go One man come, he to justify One man to overthrow
In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence One man he resist One man washed on an empty beach One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love
(nobody like you...)
Early morning, April 4 Shot rings out in the Memphis sky Free at last, they took your life They could not take your pride
In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love...

Pride Composer(s): Irene Stanton; Wayne Walker Performer(s): Ray Price; and various other artists
You know that you're doin' lots of things that ain't right You're out with a different party almost every night And you're makin' me look like a crazy fool So, why do I have these doubts about leavin' you
Because my heart tells me stay, but my pride tells me go But, how can I leave you when I love you so Which way should I turn, I'd sure like to know My heart tells me stay, but my pride tells me go
I'd be so much better off to drive you from my mind And make you a mem'ry that I'd like to leave behind I know that these heartaches are what you will put me thru So, why do I have these doubts about leavin' you
Because my heart tells me stay, but my pride tells me go But, how can I leave you when I love you so Which way should I turn, I'd sure like to know My heart tells me stay, but my pride tells me go

Why don't we take a little piece of summer sky Hang it on a tree For that's the way to start to make a pretty world For you and for me
And for the sun we'll take a lemon bright balloon You can hold the string Oh can't you see that little world of ours will be The prettiest thing
We can gather rain enough for the stream To hold our happy faces When we want a breeze, I'll blow you a kiss or two Take me in your arms and our little world Will be the place of places Nothing left to make but breakfast and love
We'll hang a little sign that just says Paradise Population two For that's the way to start to make a pretty world For me and for you For you It's what I wanted to do, to do To make a world.....for you

Si Tu Aimes Ma Musique (Dutch Version: Ren Je Rot Voor Je Leven - 2002) Composer(s): Ronny Brack - Bob Baelemans - Fred Beekmans First release by: Stella - 1982
C'est si doux le matin se lever en musique Ça rend un peu fou, mais le réveil est plus euphorique Elle te suit partout pendant toute la journée Et tous tes ennuis s'envolent aussitôt en fumée
Si tu aimes ma musique, chante-la avec moi Si tu veux danser, personne ne t'empêchera N'est-elle pas magnifique? Chante à pleine voix Fais qu'elle fasse vibrer le monde tout entier
La chanson, c'est ce qu'il y a de plus fantastique Aussi nous chantons sur toutes les surfaces géographiques Le bonheur se trouve souvent dans une musique Et la bonne humeur, c'est comme une fleur vraiment magique
Si tu aimes ma musique, chante-la avec moi Si tu veux danser, personne ne t'empêchera N'est-elle pas magnifique? Chante à pleine voix Fais qu'elle fasse vibrer le monde tout entier
Si tu aimes ma musique, chante-la avec moi Si tu veux danser, personne ne t'empêchera N'est-elle pas magnifique? Chante à pleine voix Fais qu'elle fasse vibrer le monde tout entier

soms is't net of je leven echt geen cent meer waard is je kijkt links en rechts 't lijkt alsof het oorlog in je straat is 'k vraag me af of dadt iets van tijdelijke aard is ga ik straks naar bed droom ik dat het morgen weer voorbij is
als je een auto ziet komen blijf daar dan niet staan loop zo gauw je hem ziet of je haalt je 18 niet ren je rot voor je leven of 't is zo voorbij loop zo hard je kan of je krijgt ervan
duik vlug weg als er weer zo'n auto aan komt scheuren 't is geluk of pech kruis je vingers 't zal je maar gebeuren haast en spoed is niet goed dat heb ik moeten leren maar zij zijn een deugd hoe moet je je anders nog verweren
als je een auto ziet komen blijf daar dan niet staan loop zo gauw je hem ziet of je haalt je 18 niet ren je rot voor je leven of 't is zo voorbij loop zo hard je kan of je krijgt ervan
Pretty Shitty Days (aka My Young And Troubled Days) French Title: Mes Emmerdes Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Those were the days, hungry days, needing more, having less I learned the game, wanting fame, and success I left behind, as I climbed, as I raced against time My old pals, my sweet gals, and my pretty shitty days
Those early years, selfish years, full of me, full of schemes A foolish mind, running blind, chasing dreams The bridges burned, bridges crossed, were the way that I lost My old pals, my sweet gals, and my pretty shitty days
Crazy times I shared with all my pals Burning love I made with all my gals And the shitty days I now recall Never could have been really so heavy at all
I'm very proud, proud of myself Hah, and why not, why not, I've done well Got my health, my wealth, what the hell Known by all, life is bliss, but inside I still miss My pals, my gals, my pretty shitty days
All the careless days of fooling 'round Weighing up the balance I have found That those shitty days I now recall Never could have been really so heavy at all
Those were the days, crazy days, crazy ways, gay parade The times we crashed, getting smashed, getting laid We had the steam, had a ball, had a dream, had it all My old pals, my sweet gals, and those pretty shitty days
Oh yes, ah yes, I remember, it was absolutely marvelous Fantastic, with my, my pals, my beautiful gals And those pretty shitty days
E ti diranno parole rosse come il sangue, nere come la notte ma non è vero, ragazzo, che la ragione sta sempre col più forte io conosco poeti che spostano i fiumi con il pensiero e naviganti infiniti che sanno parlare con il cielo
Chiudi gli occhi, ragazzo, e credi solo a quel che vedi dentro stringi i pugni, ragazzo, non lasciargliela vinta neanche un momento copri l'amore, ragazzo, ma non nasconderlo sotto il mantello a volte passa qualcuno, a volte c'è qualcuno che deve vederlo
Sogna, ragazzo, sogna quando sale il vento nelle vie del cuore quando un uomo vive per le sue parole o non vive più sogna, ragazzo, sogna, non lasciarlo solo contro questo mondo non lasciarlo andare, sogna fino in fondo, fallo pure tu ...
Sogna, ragazzo, sogna quando cala il vento ma non è finita quando muore un uomo per la stessa vita che sognavi tu sogna, ragazzo, sogna, non cambiare un verso della tua canzone non lasciare un treno fermo alla stazione, non fermarti tu ...
Lasciali dire che al mondo quelli come te perderanno sempre perchè hai già vinto, lo giuro, e non ti possono fare più niente passa ogni tanto la mano su un viso di donna, passaci le dita nessun regno è più grande di questa piccola cosa che è la vita
E la vita è così forte che attraversa i muri per farsi vedere la vita è così vera che sembra impossibile doverla lasciare la vita è così grande che quando sarai sul punto di morire pianterai un ulivo, convinto ancora di vederlo fiorire
Sogna, ragazzo, sogna, quando lei si volta, quando lei non torna quando il solo passo che fermava il cuore non lo senti più sogna, ragazzo, sogna, passeranno i giorni, passerà l'amore passeran le notti, finirà il dolore, sarai sempre tu
Sogna, ragazzo, sogna, piccolo ragazzo nella mia memoria tante volte tanti dentro questa storia: non vi conto più sogna, ragazzo, sogna, ti ho lasciato un foglio sulla scrivania manca solo un verso a quella poesia, puoi finirla tu
Pretty Saro (Traditional) Performer(s): Judy Collins; and various other artists
Down in some lone valley In a lonesome place Where the wild birds do whistle And their notes do increase Farewell pretty Saro I bid you adieu But I'll dream of pretty Saro Wherever I go
My love, she won't have me So I understand She wants a freeholder Who owns house and land I cannot maintain her With silver and gold Nor buy all the fine things That a big house can hold
If I were a merchant And could write a fine hand I'd write my love a letter That she'd understand I'd write it by the river Where the waters o'er- flow And I'll dream of pretty Saro Wherever I go
