Someone's Looking At You Composer(s): Bob Geldof First release by: The Boomtown Rats - 1979
On a night like this I deserve to get kissed at least once or twice You come over to my place screaming blue murder, needing someplace to hide Well, I wish you'd keep quiet Imaginations run riot In these paper-thin walls And when the place comes ablaze with a thousand dropped names I don't know who to call But I got a friend over there in the government block And he knows the situation and he's taking stock I think I'll call him up now Put him on the spot, tonight
They saw me there in the square when I was shooting my mouth off About saving some fish Now could that be construed as some radical's views or some liberals' wish And it's so hot outside And the air is so sweet And when the pressure drop is heavy I don't wanna hear you speak You know most killing is committed at 90 degrees When it's too hot to breathe And it's too hot to think
There's always someone looking at you S-s-s-s-someone They're looking at you
And I wish you'd stop whispering Don't flatter yourself, nobody's listening Still it makes me nervous, those things you say You may as well Shout it from the roof Scream it from your lungs Spit it from you mouth There's a spy in the sky There's a noise on the wire There's a tap on the line And for every paranoid's desire...
There's always Somone looking at you S-s-s-s-someone looking at you... They're always looking at you
Un'Emozione Da Poco Composer(s): I. Fossati; G. Guglielmetti Performer(s): Anna Oxa
C'è una ragione che cresce in me e l'incoscienza svanisce come un viaggio nella notte finisce dimmi dimmi dimmi che senso ha dare amore a un uomo senza pietà uno che non si è mai sentito finito che non ha mai perduto mai per me per me una canzone mai una povera illusione un pensiero banale qualcosa che rimane invece per me per me più che normale che un emozione da poco mi faccia star male una parola detta piano basta già ed io non vedo più la realtà non vedo più a che punto sta la netta differenza fra il più cieco amore e la più stupida pazienza no, io non vedo più la realtà né quanta tenerezza ti dà la mia incoerenza pensare che vivresti benissimo anche senza
C'è una ragione che cresce in me e una paura che nasce l'imponderabile confonde la mente finché non si sente e poi per me più che normale che un'emozione da poco, mi faccia stare male una parola detta piano basta già ed io non vedo più la realtà non vedo più a che punto sta la netta differenza fra il più cieco amore e la più stupida pazienza no, io non vedo più la realtà né quanta tenerezza ti dà la mia incoerenza pensare che vivresti benissimo anche senza
J'ai Volé La Vie Composer(s): Sylvain Lebel - Guy Mattéoni - G.G. Candy First performance by: Nathalie Pâque - 1989
J'pourrais pas vous dire mon âge J'saurais pas écrire mon nom J'ai grandi ortie sauvage sur des écorces de goudron J'sais pas d'où viennent les images qui sont collées à mes yeux Ni d'où monte cette rage de chanter ce que je veux
J'ai volé la vie Oui, je l'avoue Je n'sais plus à qui ni où Je m'suis enfuie en faisant un pied de nez au néant J'ai volé la vie Sans un regret À deux ombres qui passaient Mais mon rayon de soleil, je l'ai gardé
J'sais pas à quoi je ressemble J'sais pas vers qui je m'en vais Mais de mes châteaux de cendres, je sens que le feu renaît Je sens que mes yeux s'éclairent, que quelqu'un m'envoie du jour Que j'arrive à la frontière qui me sépare de l'amour
J'ai volé la vie Oui, je l'avoue Je n'sais plus à qui ni où Je m'suis enfuie en faisant un pied de nez au néant J'ai volé la vie Sans un regret À deux ombres qui passaient Mais mon rayon de soleil, je l'ai gardé
J'ai volé la vie Oui, je l'avoue Je n'sais plus à qui ni où Je m'suis enfuie en faisant un pied de nez au néant J'ai volé la vie Sans un regret À deux ombres qui passaient (sympa pour ses parents!) Mais mon rayon de soleil, je l'ai gardé
Unforgettable Composer(s): Irving Gordon Performer(s): Nat King Cole; and various other artists
Unforgettable, that's what you are Unforgettable though near or far Like a song of love that clings to me How the thought of you does things to me Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way And forever more, that's how you'll stay That's why, darling, it's incredible That someone so unforgettable Thinks that I am unforgettable too
Unforgettable in every way And forever more, that's how you'll stay That's why, darling, it's incredible That someone so unforgettable Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Sointu viimeinen lapsuuden laulun Taivaanrantaan kun soimaan nyt jää Niiden hahmoa enkelitaulun Enää turvana vierellä nää Silti ylitse tuhannen tuulen Huulen laulu soi niin huoleton Ja sen mukana laulaa voi onnellinen: Lapsi kesän ja auringon La dolce vita On ollut kaikki tuo suloista niin La dolce vita Ei aihetta kyyneliin Minä sammutin elämän janoa vaan Minä osasin onnea anoa vaan Jälkeen kaiken nyt saatan sen sanoa vaan La dolce vita Joskus mieleni valtaa taas kaipuu Seuran valkoisten enkelien Sateenkaari kun taivaalla taipuu Enkä löytänyt juurelle sen Vaan kun kulkee tuo hetkien nauha on Rauha sielussa rikkomaton Ja teille nyt laulaa voi onnellinen: Lapsi kesän ja auringon La dolce vita On ollut kaikki tuo suloista niin La dolce vita Ei aihetta kyyneliin Minä sammutin elämän janoa vaan Minä osasin onnea anoa vaan Jälkeen kaiken nyt saatan sen sanoa vaan La dolce vita La dolce vita On ollut kaikki tuo suloista niin La dolce vita Ei aihetta kyyneliin Minä sammutin elämän janoa vaan Minä osasin onnea anoa vaan Jälkeen kaiken nyt saatan sen sanoa vaan La dolce vita La dolce vita
Ungkarlsvisan Composer(s): Mera Ruben Nilsson Performer(s): Fred Åkerstrom
Ja en ungkarl ä lycklig å fri! Ingen människa lägger sej i om han går på visiter å andra inviter Han köper sin liter å ger blanka fasen i allt hyckleri. Ja en ungkarl ä lycklig å fri!
De ä fridfullt å lugnt ve hans bord Aldrig hör han ett ovänligt ord Ingen fruga som pratar å grälar å gnatar å tjatar å tjatar om mat å om pengar å himmel å jord! Nej, en ungkarl har lugnt ve sitt bord
Han kan ta sej en tår om han vill Ja, han kommer å går som han vill Å i flickornas skara där blinkar han bara till Lisa å Klara å allt va dom heter så hajar dom till! Ja, en ungkarl han får som han vill!
Tänk så lugnt han ska ha kring sin säng när han gnolar sin sista refräng Inga tårar ska fällas å droppas å drällas De ska bara kvällas Så tyst som när frosten tar blomman på äng ska han somna så lugnt i sin säng
Kanske far han till himlen! Jaha! För där ska dom ju ha det så bra! Men när portvakten ser´en så motar han ner´en från trappan å ber´en att dra rakt åt fanders, för de ska han ha bara för att han haft´et så bra

Nur Ein Lied Composer(s): Joachim Horn-Bernges First performance by: Thomas Forstner - 1989
Damit morgen Früh die Sonne wieder scheint und es Tränen nur noch gibt, wenn man sich freut Damit jedes Kind noch Hoffnung haben kann auf ein Leben ohne Kriege ohne Angst Dafür lohnt es sich ein Träumer zu sein

Damit keiner mehr allein im Dunkeln steht sie wieder kommt die Liebe auf der Welt Damit jeder Mensch in Freiheit leben kann und die Waffen werden Blumen irgendwann Dafür lohnt es sich ein Träumer zu sein
Ich singe nur ein Lied heut Nacht ein Lied das uns zu Freunden macht Ich singe nur ein Lied und weiß mit jedem Wort zerbricht das Eis
Ich singe nur ein Lied heut Nacht Ein Lied das wie ein Feuer facht Ich singe es für Dich und mich Und für die ganze Welt

Unholy Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I am the incubus I lay the egg in you The worm that burrows Through your brain But you are the beast That calls me by my name You send your children to war To serve bastards and whores So now you know You created me On the day that you were born Unholy I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the Flies, you know I'm Unholy From the left hand of power comes the father of lies Unholy - Unholy! I lay you down to sleep Your soul to keep Better cross your heart before you die And now you know Know that you are mine That's why you're feeling so Unholy, Unholy, Unholy, Unholy

Unicornio Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; and various other artists
Mi unicornio azul ayer se me perdió pastando lo deje y desapareció Cualquier información bien la voy a pagar Las flores que dejó no me han querido hablar
Mi unicornio azul ayer se me perdió no sé si se me fue no sé si extravió y yo no tengo más que un unicornio azul Si alguien sabe de él le ruego información cien mil o un millón yo pagaré Mi unicornio azul se me ha perdido ayer se fue
Mi unicornio y yo hicimos amistad un poco con amor un poco con verdad Con su cuerno de añil pescaba una canción saberla compartir era su vocación
Mi unicornio azul ayer se me perdió y puede parecer acaso una obsesión pero no tengo más que un unicornio azul y aunque tuviera dos yo solo quiero aquel Cualquier información la pagaré Mi unicornio azul se me ha perdido ayer se fue

Du hænger lidt med ho'det, syn's du alt er gråt i gråt? Ja, jeg kender jo turen, det' klart, du ved det godt Men glem det et sekund, lad det fordufte i det blå Grib din egen palet, for nu ska' vi lægge farverne på
Vi maler byen rød og himlen hvid af stjerneskær Det grå og triste får en ekstra farveklat Så gi'r vi nattens tøj et penselstrøg og gerne fler' Og først når solen si'r godmorgen og ta'r fat, si'r vi godnat
De briller, du har på, kan farve tingene, der sker Så ka' du ikke få øje på glæder, andre ser Men du må låne mine et par timer, hvis du vil Tag og se dig omkring, luk øjnene op, spring ud og slå til
Vi maler byen rød og himlen hvid af stjerneskær Det grå og triste får en ekstra farveklat Så gi'r vi nattens tøj et penselstrøg og gerne fler' Og først når solen si'r godmorgen og ta'r fat, si'r vi godnat
Sidder du stadig derinde Ruller gardinerne ned Glæderne, dem skal man finde Bare hæng i og ta' med (Bare hæng i og ta' med)
Vi maler byen rød og himlen hvid af stjerneskær Det grå og triste får en ekstra farveklat Så gi'r vi nattens tøj et penselstrøg og gerne fler' Og først når solen si'r godmorgen og ta'r fat ... Ja, først når solen si'r godmorgen og ta'r fat Si'r vi godnat

For united we stand Divided we fall And if our backs should ever be against the wall We'll be together, together, you and I

Someone Waits For You Composer(s): Peter Allen - Wilbur Jennings Performer(s): Carly Simon
Oh, my heart knows more With each passing day And I know I'll change If you leave or stay But when our world turns Where it's turning to You'll see some hearts fade While mine shine's on through I will still be there some day for you
You see, somewhere Someone waits for you Who hopes you will come through Who'll wait until you do You'll see a light in some familiar door And when you reach the shore It won't hurt any more
Remember, night may trouble you With endless dreams But blue skies wait for you Beyond the sunrise I'm here, so walk into your fate It never is too late
There's someone smiling through Who'll do all they can do, for you Remember, somewhere Someone waits for you
There's someone smiling through Who'll do all they can do, for you Remember, somewhere Someone waits for you
