Give A Little Love Back To The World Composer(s): Paul Curtis First performance by: Emma - 1990
We've come so far on this great planet We should be proud of all the great things we've achieved But in our search for life's great knowledge We go on takin' out and never plant new seeds
Give a little love back to the world We can't go on takin' out forever Give a little love back to the world We still got time, let's do it together Give a little love back to the world
We've got to stop, think of tomorrow One day our children may have nothing left to share Let's do it now, then in the future They will look back at us with pride and know we cared
Give a little love back to the world We can't go on takin' out forever Give a little love back to the world We still got time, let's do it together
We got no time to hesitate Tomorrow it may be too late
Give a little love back to the world We can't go on takin' out forever Give a little love back to the world We still got time, let's do it together
We still got time, we can do it together Give a little love back to the world (Give a little love back) to the world
Something Following Me Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid Performer(s): Procol Harum
While standing at the junction on 42nd Street I idly kick a pebble lying near my feet I hear a weird noise, take a look up and down The cause of the commotion is right there on the ground Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home but there's no doubt about it, it's my own tombstone
I went into a shop, and bought a loaf of bread I sank my teeth into it, thought I'd bust my head I dashed to the dentist, said, 'I've got an awful pain!' The man looks in my mouth and screams, 'This boy is insane!' Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home but there's a lump in my mouth of my own tombstone
I went to see a movie, got the only empty seat I tried to stretch out in it, something blocking my feet Finally the lights came up, and I could clearly see a slab of engraved marble, just staring up at me Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home but there's no doubt I'm sitting on my own tombstone
Quand Je Te Rêve First performance by: Céline Carzo - 1990
Je te vois tout en haut des tours dans les buildings de Singapour Sous un peu de pluie à Cherbourg, dans les jardins du Luxembourg, loin toujours...
Un vol d'oiseaux sur Manhattan revient me dire que tu t'éloignes Je dessine notre amour au fil de tes absences Et c'est comme un été qui commence!
Quand je te rêve, y a plus d'heure, plus de distance Rien n'a plus d'importance, j'oublie tous mes états d'urgence Quand je te rêve, tu me prends, tu me soulèves Un sourire sur tes lèvres et j'ai peur du jour qui se lève Quand je te rêve, quand je te rêve
Tu m'attends sur le banc d'un square dans toutes les salles des aérogares Je te croise au fond des regards derrière les glaces bleues des miroirs
Je devine ton visage dans toutes les transparences Des voyages que je fais en silence
Quand je te rêve, y a plus d'heure, plus de distance Rien n'a plus d'importance, j'oublie tous mes états d'urgence Quand je te rêve, c'est comme un vent qui m'enlève Qui me donne la fièvre, viens avant que la nuit s'achève
Viens dans mon rêve, viens dans mon rêve! Viens dans mon rêve, viens dans mon rêve! Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve! Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve! Viens dans mon rêve!
Oh... viens dans mon rêve Oh... Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve! Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve!
Up The Hill Backwards Composer(s): David Bowie Performer(s): David Bowie
The vacuum created by the arrival of freedom And the possibilities it seems to offer It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it
A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart Earth keeps on rolling witnesses falling It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it
Yeah, yeah, yeah up the hill backwards It'll be alright ooo-ooo
While we sleep they go to work We're legally crippled it's the death of love It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it
More idols than realities I'm OK, you're so-so
Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards It'll be alright ooo-ooo
Something Beautiful Composer(s): Bill Gaither - Gloria Gaither Performer(s): Bill Gaither and multiple other artists

Up The Ladder To The Roof Composer(s): Frank Wilson; Vincent DiMirco Performer(s): The Supremes; Sean Delaney; Al Green; The Nylons
Come with me And we shall run across the sky And il-lum-inate the night Oh, oh, oh I will try and guide you To better times And brighter days Don't be afraid Go up the ladder to the roof Where we can see heaven much better Come up the ladder to the roof Where we can be
Mary: Where we can be
Cindy: Where we can be
Closer to heaven
(to heaven stay)
Stay with me And we shall let expression sing
All: Hear freedom's virtues ringing
Jean: Can't you hear 'em ringing?
(Background echoes): Ringing!
Oh, oh, oh
All: Memories of yesterday
Yesterday's broken dreams Don't you know They'll all fade away If you'll come up the ladder to the roof Where we can see heaven much better Go up the ladder to the roof
Ik Wil Alles Met Je Delen First performance by: Maywood - 1990
Jij bent niet de enige die zich verloren voelt En al kwamen woorden harder aan dan ik ze had bedoeld Ik meende alles wat ik zei, ik heb ook geleerd Om te vechten voor een nieuwe dag, is dat dan verkeerd
Ik wil alles met je delen, 'k wil alles voor je zijn En als je me wilt vertrouwen, dan delen we de pijn Samen met je janken, samen uit je bol Samen door het lint gaan, niets is mij te dol
Het leven is een carrousel, het leven is een straat Die eens doodloopt als je niet meer weet hoe het verder gaat Even, ja heel even maar denk je 't is voorbij Maar ik hou van jou zoals je bent, hou je ook van mij
Ik wil alles met je delen, 'k wil alles voor je zijn En als je me wilt vertrouwen, dan delen we de pijn Samen met je janken, samen uit je bol Samen door het lint gaan, niets is mij te dol
Als ik het licht zie aan de horizon Weet ik nog hoe het was, hoe het eens begon
Ik wil alles met je delen, 'k wil alles voor je zijn En als je me wilt vertrouwen, dan delen we de pijn Samen met je janken, samen uit je bol Samen door het lint gaan, niets is mij te dol
Up The 'Pool Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
I'm going up the `pool from down the smoke below to taste my mum's jam sarnies and see our Aunty Flo The candyfloss salesman watches ladies in the sand down for a freaky weekend in the hope that they'll be meeting Mister Universe
The iron tower smiles down upon the silver sea and along the golden mile they'll be swigging mugs of tea. The politicians there who've come to take the air while posing for the daily press will look around and blame the mess on Edward Bear
There'll be bucket, spades and bingo, cockles, mussels, rainy days, seaweed and sand castles, icy waves Deck chairs, rubber dinghies, old vests, braces dangling down, sun-tanned stranded starfish in a daze
We're going up the `pool from down the smoke below to taste my mum's jam sarnies and see our Aunty Flo The candy floss salesman watches ladies in the sand down for a freaky weekend in the hope that they'll be meeting Mister Universe

Darlin' darlin' If I could have you to call my very own I work my fingers to the bone, I am alone To you I'd always come home
'Cause there's something about you, baby That makes me keep loving you There's something about you, baby Makes me love you just a little bit more Truly does, just a little bit more

Up The Revolution Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb; Maurice Gibb Performer(s): Elton John; The Bee Gees
I tell you the truth can be painful And the mainstream of life can be cruel If you believe in your chances today you could be a fool, don't you be a fool, oh no
Revenge is mine, oh no A case of do or die Gather round if you want to be free Sing the words to this song
We go up the revolution, go down to what you mean to me When achieving the impossible is a possibility It's a time for any loser to win, it's how you play the game Don't you start the revolution without me in another name
Stand by your bunbury notions That is how you get to be strong Now you come here from over the sea Where you don't belong, no you don't belong, oh no
Friend of mine, oh no A case of do or die Gather round if you want to be free Sing the words to this song
We go up the revolution, go down to what you mean to me When achieving the impossible is a possibility It's a time for any loser to win, and you can overthrow We go up the revolution, freedom strike another blow
Oh no, revenge is mine, oh no A case of do or die Gather round if you want to be free Sing the words to this song
We go up the revolution, go down to find a brighter day If you dream the unapproachable dream, you find a better way If it's just another corner you're in, then you can overthrow We go up the revolution, freedom strike another blow
Macédomienne Composer(s): Philippe Lafontaine First performance by: Philippe Lafontaine - 1989
Quand elle pleure, c'est tout l'Adriatique Qui se déchaîne dans ses yeux Quand elle dort, c'est pas très loin d'Ohrid Elle fait des rêves au bord de beaux lacs tout bleus Je la revois, petite fille aux pieds nus De la pluie dans ses cheveux Dans sa maison, au sol en terre battue Elle a laissé les illusions de tous ses jeux
Qu'elle veut rien qu'à elle Elle a le charme des Macédomiennes C'est vital que je l'aime, que j'y tienne Quoique vous fassiez, quoique vous pensiez Mais elle est plus belle Ceux qui s'en défient qu'ils y viennent Ils verront combien j'y gagne et qu'elle est mienne Vous pouvez crier, vous pouvez pleurer, vous pouvez rire Surtout pas d'elle
Quand elle se couche sur fond de colline Elle fait de mon corps ce qu'elle veut C'est un tournesol émigré dans la vigne Au cur aride et qui fait flamme de tout feu Un cri tzigane caché dans ses murmures Elle vit l'amour sans désaveu Quand elle se bat du haut de ses blessures Elle fait semblant de tout Elle fait la nique aux dieux
Trop ont envie d'elle Elle a le charme des Macédomiennes C'est vital que je l'aime, que j'y tienne Quoique vous fassiez, quoique vous pensiez Mais elle est plus belle Et ceux qui s'en défient qu'ils y viennent Ils verront combien j'y gagne et qu'elle est mienne Vous pouvez crier, vous pouvez pleurer, vous pouvez rire Surtout pas d'elle
Up The Wooden Hills To Bedfordshire Composer(s): Ian MacLagan Performer(s): The Small Faces
When you're slipping into sleep That's the time to unwind Sinking down into the deep That's the time of no time When you're slipping into sleep
All the sounds around you Seem to have a new meaning Leave your body behind With a different feeling When you're slipping into sleep
The day is night The night is day So squeeze out the light as I slip away Up the wooden hills to Bedfordshire Up the wooden hills to Bedfordshire
When you're slipping into sleep There's a world you will find That's all yours and you can keep That's the only thing to keep When you're slipping into sleep
All the sounds around you Seem to have a new meaning Leave your body behind With a different feeling When you're slipping into sleep
Something About The Way You Look Tonight Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John and multiple other artists
There was a time I was everything and nothing all in one When you found me I was feeling like a cloud across the sun
I need to tell you How you light up every second of the day But in the moonlight You just shine like a beacon on the bay
And I can't explain But it's something about the way you look tonight Takes my breath away It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside And I can't describe But it's something about the way you look tonight Takes my breath away The way you look tonight
With a smile You pull the deepest secrets from my heart In all honesty I'm speechless and I don't know where to start
Up To Me Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Take you to the cinema and leave you in a Wimpy Bar you tell me that we've gone to far come running up to me Make the scene at Cousin Jack's leave him put the bottles back mends his glasses that I cracked well that one's up to me Buy a silver cloud to ride pack the tennis club inside trouser cuffs hung far too wide well it was up to me Tyres down on your bicicle your nose feels like an icicle the yellow fingered smoky girl is looking up to me Well I'm a common working man with a half of butter bread and jam and if it pleases me I'll put one one you man when the copper fades away The rainy season comes to pass the day-glo pirate sinks at last and if I laughed a bit too fast Well it was up to me
Bandido Composer(s): Jose L. Abel - Raul Orellana - J. Stinus First performance by: Azúcar Moreno - 1990
La luna me embrujó y me llevó hasta ti, veneno del amor que yo feliz bebí Y aunque mi pecho ardió y me abrasó la piel, me supo dulce como la miel
Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión
Y ahora cada vez que de mi lado te vas, siento el dolor crecer más y más
Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión
Así que abrázame con furia de huracán, que el fuego de tu amor sea como un volcán Y luego bésame, atrápame en tu red, que al fin tus labios colmen mi sed
Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión
Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión
Up Where We Belong Composer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie; Will Jennings; Jack Nitzsche Performer(s): Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes; The Starsound Orch.; Tramaine Hawkins; Glen Campbell
Who knows what tomorrow brings in a world where few hearts survive All I know is the way I feel When it's real I keep it alive
The road is long There are mountains in the way but we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong where the eagles cry on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong far from the world we know up where the clear winds blow
Some hang on to used to be live their lives looking behind When all we have is here and now All our lives out there to find
The road is long There are mountains in the way but we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong where the eagles cry on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong far from the world we know up where the clear winds blow
Time goes by No time to cry Life's you and I Alive... today
Love lift us up where we belong where the eagles cry on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong far from the world we know up where the clear winds blow

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon We could float among the stars together, you and I For we can fly we can fly Up, up and away My beautiful, my beautiful balloon The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky For we can fly we can fly Up, up and away My beautiful, my beautiful balloon Suspended under a twilight canopy We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us If by some chance you find yourself loving me We'll find a cloud to hide us We'll keep the moon beside us Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky For we can fly we can fly Up, up and away My beautiful, my beautiful balloon Balloon ...

Quelqu'un m'a tendu la main Quand j'étais seule avec ma peine Quelqu'un a changé toute ma vie Et je n'oublierai pas ce qu'il a fait pour moi
Quelqu'un est venu vers moi Et m'a parlé avec tendresse Je m'souviens des mots qu'il a dit Il parlait d'amitié, d'amour, de liberté
Et depuis ce jour merveilleux Pour nous deux où tout est bleu On est chaque jour plus heureux Pour nous deux où tout est bleu
Quelqu'un est venu ce soir Et il a dit les mots qu'il fallait dire Quelqu'un s'est glissé dans ma vie Et c'est depuis ce jour Que je sais ce qu'est l'amour
Ups And Downs Composer(s): Mark Lindsay; Terry Melcher Performer(s): Paul Revere & The Raiders; and various other artists
Now, things was looking golden, baby Everything was fine You never made no sign That you had changed your mind
I guess I was mistaken, girl To count so on you What else could I do Time to pay my dues
Well girl, I've been torn up before But I can't handle that once more Well I been down for a long long time And now it's time to reach my mind There's lots of pain upon this earth Girl, I've had my money's worth I have had my ups and downs and all around
Girl, I've tried to change your way of thinkin' Tried to make you see Well, livin' here with me Is where you ought to be
But it didn't seem to make no difference It never changed your world Or stopped your social twirl You're still the same old girl
And now, I've been torn up before But I can't handle that once more I been down for a long long time But now it's time to reach my mind 'Cause there's lots of pain upon this earth And girl, I've had my money's worth I have had my ups and downs and all around
I've been up, down, all around now baby (up, down, all around) I've been up, I been down, I been all around now baby (up, down, all around) Yeah we've both been up and down and all around baby(up, down, all around) You go up, you go down, you go all around now baby (up, down, all around) Yes, I'm up, I'm down, all around now baby (up, down, all around) Up and down and all around
