You're so pretty Oh! so pretty You're some pretty doll You've got the kind of eyes that seem to talk They make me get so nervous that I have to walk Oh! I love you, how I love you More and more each day You've got some smile, you're pretty too I've got a million dollars that I'll spend on you 'Cause you're so pretty, oh! o pretty You're some pretty doll
Now that's the way my folks would always sing to me When I was just a blossom on my family tree But when I got around to datin' my first chick This is what she said, an' did she spread it thick...
Hey! You're ugly, oh! so ugly You're some ugly chile The clothes you wear are not in style You look like an ape every time you smile How I hate you, you alligator bait, you Why don't you lay down and die How I hate you, you alligator bait, you An' here's the reason why...
You're knock kneed, pigeon toed, box ankled You're big foot, barefoot slue footed too How'd they ever get a pair of shoes on you Your short and squatty, just nobody You're some Ugly Chile What a joke on your family when along comes you You're dippy, dappy, hey! slap happy You're some Ugly Chile!

Something So Strong Composer(s): Mick Leeson - Peter Vale - Miles Waters Performer(s): Jim Capaldi
We started off heading for the top and set our sights on the sun Now there's no more tears as we're standing here, and the morning light has begun They said that you'll expire. You're wasting your time to try But inside a heart of fire is a force you can't deny
Something so strong driving me on, never tire Something so strong, born of the sun Like a fire burns inside me so strong
We live in hope waiting for the day, when all our dreams can begin But the time it takes for the rain to fall, is the time it takes to give in They said that you'll expire. You're wasting your time to try But inside a heart of fire, is a force you can't deny
Something so strong driving me on, never tire Something so strong, born of the sun Like a fire, sea of fire, burns inside me so strong
Love is what brought us here And no-one can deny
Something so strong driving me on, never tire Something so strong burning so long, like a fire Something so strong born of the sun, taking me higher Something so strong been coming so long, burning desire
Something so strong driving me on, never tire Something so strong burning so long, like a fire Something so strong born of the sun, taking me higher Something so strong been coming so long, burning desire
Something so strong driving me on, never tire Something so strong burning so long, like a fire
Keine Mauern Mehr First performance by: Simone - 1990
Zur selben Zeit vor einem Jahr Hat niemand sich's gedacht Daß unser Freiheitstraum Den Sprung nach vorne macht Gegenwart kommt in Fahrt Sie muß um jeden Preis Bunter sein Nicht nur schwarz und weiß Denn unsere Zukunft wird erst jetzt geboren Viele Sprachen, viele Ohren
Keine Mauern mehr, no walls anywhere (Keine Mauern mehr) Tomber les barrières, keine Mauern mehr Keine Mauern mehr
Der Wind ist stark, er nimmt im Sturm Bläst manchem ins Gesicht Die feste Hand am Widerstand zerbricht Denn unsere Zukunft wird erst jetzt geboren Viele Sprachen, viele Ohren
Keine Mauern mehr, no walls anywhere (Keine Mauern mehr) Nema vie zidova, keine Mauern mehr Keine Mauern mehr
Something So Right Composer(s): Paul Simon First release by: Paul Simon - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages: 1973 - Se Una Donna Non Va 1979 - Une Chose Qui Va Bien
You've got the cool water When the river runs high And you've got the look of love Right in your eyes And I was in a crazy motion Till you calmed me down It took a little time But you calmed me down
Some people never say the words "I love you" It's not their style to be so bold Some people never say the words "I love you" But like a child They're longing to be told They've got a wall in China It's a thousand miles long To keep out the foreigners They made it strong And I've got a wall around me That you can't even see It took a little time To get next to me
If something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it The first to admit it But the last one to know If something goes right Well,it's likely to lose me It's apt to confuse me Because it's such an unusual sight
Oh I can't get used to something so right Something so right
Some people never say the words "I love you" It's not their style to be so bold Some people never say the words "I love you" But like a child I'm longing to be told They've got a wall in China And I've got a wall around me It took a little time To get next to me

I can tell by the look in your eye That you been lovin' some other guy That's why something Keeps on worrying me Oh yes it is That's why something Keeps on worrying me

Som En Vind Composer(s): Mikael Wendt First performance by: Edin-Ådahl - 1990
Ut ur en dröm och in i mitt hjärta Kom en känsla och fyllde min själ Och jag, en man, som reser i tankar Fylld av visioner ur en dröm Och jag känner...
Som en vind, sveper inom mig Skänker mig värme, kom var mig närmre Som en vind, visa mig vägen Rör vid mig som en vind
Tillsammans, men långt ifrån varann Vi vet att vi vill och vi kan En tanke säger mer än tusen ord Ändå vet jag inte vad jag ska tro Men jag känner...
Som en vind, sveper inom mig Skänker mig värme, kom var mig närmre Som en vind, visa mig vägen Rör vid mig som en vind
Jag, en man, fylld av visioner Stanna och rör mig
Som en vind, sveper inom mig Skänker mig värme, kom var mig närmre Som en vind, visa mig vägen Kom till mig, stanna Vänd inte från mig Rör vid mig som en vind Rör vid mig som en vind
Something In Your Smile Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse Performer(s): Anthony Newley and multiple other artists
Dolittle: My dear Miss Fairfax.....Emma.... It is evening, and as I sit here by the sea..... I find my thoughts drifting .....to.....you
Something in your smile Speaks to me Something in your eyes Shows me the way And helps me to say The things that I could never say to you
Something in your voice Sings to me Something in your laugh Makes me rejoice And there is no choice Except to let my thoughts all stray to you And stray to you they do
Something in you is rich and rare And there is something more Something in you is everything I've never known before
For something of your charm Clings to me Something of your warmth Has stayed in my heart And made me a part of you For just a little while.... So think of me As something in your smile
Yours sincerely, John Dolittle Sea Star Island September 24th, 1837
Somewhere in Europe Composer(s): Liam Reilly First performance by: Liam Reilly - 1990
It's been a long time since we were together I'm back in Ireland and I miss you more than ever In early spring we parted and I've been here since then But if I could only see you once again
Meet me in Paris on a Champs-Élysées night We could be in Rome again, 'neath the Trevi fountain light We should be together, and maybe we just might If you could only meet me somewhere in Europe tonight
I remember Amsterdam as we sailed along the canal And as the leaves began to fall, we were walking in old Bruxelles In the Black Forest on a German summer's day And the memories refuse to go away
Meet me in Paris on a Champs-Élysées night We could be in Rome again, 'neath the Trevi fountain light We should be together, and maybe we just might If you could only meet me somewhere in Europe
Don't you remember those Adriatic days? I miss your laughter and all your little ways I can still see you in London, walking on Trafalgar Square And drinking wine in Old Seville, how I wish that we were there
Meet me in Paris on a Champs-Élysées night We could be in Rome again, 'neath the Trevi fountain light We should be together, maybe we just might If you could only meet me somewhere in Europe tonight
Meet me in Paris on a Champs-Élysées night We could be in Rome again, 'neath the Trevi fountain light We should be together, and maybe we just might If you could only meet me somewhere in Europe tonight
Until It's Time For You To Go Composer(s): Buffy Saint-Marie Performer(s): Buffy Saint-Marie; and various other artists
You're not a dream You're not an angel You're a woman I'm not a king I'm a man Take my hand We'll make a space In the lives that we planned And here we'll stay Until it's time for you to go
Yes, we're diff'rent worlds apart We're not the same We laughed and played At the start like in a game You could have stayed Outside my heart But in you came And here you'll stay Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why, Don't ask how Don't ask forever Love me now
This love of mine Had no beginning It has no end I was an oak Now I'm a willow Now I can bend And tho' I'll never In my life see you again I still stay Until it's time for you to go
Something In Your Eyes Composer(s): Richard Carpenter - Pamela Phillips Oland Performer(s): Richard Carpenter
There was a certain face That filled a thousand nights With all the sweetest dreams and promises Of paradise But that face was gone When the dawn would come and steal you Yet I still could feel you Waiting just a kiss away I'd surely know your face When love would cast its spell I'd recognize each curve and line of you I knew it well Now at last you're here and I can tell Something in your eyes I see Is all I've ever wanted (And) Something in your smile for me Is calling out my name Your eyes it seems Are mirrors of my dreams In ways I can't explain... And my heart will never be the same We never said a word As if we'd always known That through the bittersweet of waiting We were not alone Now we're close enough For the touch of love to find us Fantasies designed us But they never really could Begin to measure you No pictures ever do And as I watch you framed in sunlight And a sky of blue I know what my life's been leading to Something in your eyes I see Is all I've ever wanted (And) Something in your smile for me Is calling out my name Your eyes it seems Are mirrors of my dreams In ways I can't explain... And my heart will never be the same
Until The Real Thing Comes Along Composer(s): Mann Holiner; Alberta Nichols; Sammy Cahn; Saul Chaplin; L.E. Freeman Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
Don't you know I'd work for you, I'd slave for you Be a beggar or a knave for you If that isn't love it will have to do Until the real thing comes along
Gladly move the earth for you Prove my love dear, and it's worth for you If that isn't love it'll have to do Until the real thing comes along
With all the words dear at my command I just can't make you understand I'll always love you baby - come what may My heart is yours - what more can I say
I would cry for you, even sigh for you Tear those stars down from the sky for you If that isn't love it'll have to do Until the real thing comes along
Walk on burning coals for you I would drive the Chrysler,leave the Rolls for you If that ain't love it will have to do Until the real thing comes along
I would try to hit high "C" for you I'd even punch out Mr. T for you If that ain't love it will have to do Until the real thing comes along
There's not a thing that you can't ask of me Go on, demand any task of me If you want the moon or a lavaliere All you got to do is nibble on my ear
I would rob, steal, beg, borrow, and lie for you Lay my little body down and die for you (If that ain't love - if that isn't love) If that ain't love it will have to do Until the real thing comes along
Há Sempre Alguém Composer(s): Francisco Pereira - Frederico Pereira - Luis Filipe - Jan Van Dijck First performance by: Nucha - 1990
Sempre há sempre alguém Que ainda não tem O tanto que temos Sempre há sempre alguém No canto do mundo Que sonha também
A vida corria Diante de nós Sem cores nem harmonia O passo era o muro que calava a voz A verdade nada valia Quantos momentos perdemos então O medo da vida o sonho era em vão
As vozes do vento E as ondas do mar Fizeram este novo dia Agora vivemos sem ter de sonhar Momentos de louca alegria Cantamos unidos Sem olhar pra trás Nada detém o amor e a paz
Until We Sleep Composer(s): David Gilmour Performer(s): David Gilmour
Dance, to the movement of the stars Sing till the walls around us ring Pray that it never fades away Until we sleep
Feast, go ahead now, take your fill Drink, till the room begins to sway Play, and your cares will blow away Until we sleep Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all
Work, though the work will break your back Rest, hope to feel your spirits rise But the years, have cut you down to size Now go to sleep Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all
Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)
Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do) Composer(s): Morris Broadnax; Clarence Paul; Stevie Wonder Performer(s): Aretha Franklin
Though you don't call anymore I sit and wait in vain I guess I'll rap on your door Tap on your window pane I want to tell you Baby The changes I've been going through Missing you. Listen you 'till you come back to me That's what I'm gonna do Why did you have to decide You had to set me free I'm gonna swallow my pride I'm gonna beg you to (please baby please) see me I'm gonna walk by meself Just to prove that my love is true Oh, for you baby 'till you come back to me That's what I'm gonna do Living for you my dear Is like living in a world of constant fear In my plea, I've got to make you see That our love is dying Although your phone you ignore Somehow I must explain I'm gonna rap on your door Tap on your window pane I'm gonna camp on your step Until I get through to you I've got to change your view baby 'till you come back to me That's what I'm gonna do
White & Black Blues Composer(s): Georges Ougier de Moussac - Serge Gainsbourg First performance by: Joëlle Ursull - 1990
Lorsque l'on me parle de couleur de peau J'ai le blues qui me fait froid dans le dos Je m'sens dans un conte d'Edgar Allan Poe C'est le never more les vumètres à zéro
White and black Danse, balance sur le white and black blues Nous les blacks Nous sommes quelque millions treize à la douze Paradisiaque Africa mon amour, j't'ai dans la peau White and Black Qu'importe la couleur? - Tous égaux
Entendez-vous les percussions des tam-tams? Elles vous vont droit au cur, vous transpercent l'âme Comme la flèche d'un chasseur, équateur Une lame de couteau où scintillent les pleurs
White and black Danse, balance sur le white and black blues Nous les blacks Nous sommes quelque millions treize à la douze Le long du fleuve Sous le soleil ambré des marécages Où qu'il pleuve Sur nos amours, que vienne l'orage
White and black Danse, balance sur le white and black blues Nous les blacks Nous sommes quelque millions treize à la douze Oh white and black Danse, balance sur le white and black blues That's all right Danse, balance sur le white blues
Li incontri dove la gente viaggia e va a telefonare coi dopobarba che sa di pioggia e la ventiquattro ore perduti nel Corriere della Sera nel va e vieni di una cameriera Ma perché ogni giorno viene sera? A volte un uomo è da solo perché ha in testa strani tarli perché ha pura del sesso o per la smania di successo per scrivere il romanzo che ha di dentro perché la vita l'ha già messo al muro o perché in un mondo falso è un uomo vero Dio delle città e dell'immensità se è vero che ci sei e hai viaggiato più di noi vediamo se si può imparare questa vita e magari un po' cambiarla prima che ci cambi lei vediamo se si può farci amare come siamo senza violentarci più con nevrosi e gelosie perché questa vita stende e chi è steso dorme o muore oppure fa l'amore Ci sono uomini soli per la sete d'avventura perché han studiato da prete o per vent'anni di galera per madri che non li hanno mai svezzati per donne che li han rivoltati e persi o solo perché sono dei diversi Dio delle città e dell'immensità se è vero che ci sei e hai viaggiato più di noi vediamo se si può imparare queste donne e cambiare un po' per loro e cambiarle un po' per noi Ma Dio delle città e dell'immensità magari tu ci sei e problemi non ne hai ma quaggiù non siamo in cielo e se un uomo perde il filo è soltanto un uomo solo
