Urubus Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Urubus, vous n'avez pas de cri Cri de chasse, cri d'amour, cri de peur Urubus, vous attendez qu'on meure Mort de faim, mort d'amour, mort de peur
Cercles noirs cisaillants le ciel vide Sans espoirs, attentifs et avides Sans beauté, sans couleur et sans race Obstinés, nettoyeurs et voraces Anonymes citoyens solitaires Charognards, utiles, élémentaires Voyageur si tu plies, si tu tombes Méfie-toi de l^Òombre de ton ombre
Urubus, vous n'avez pas de cri Cri de chasse, cri d'amour, cri de peur Urubus, vous attendez qu'on meure Mort de faim, mort d'amour, mort de peur
C'est ta vie qui ne tient qu'à un fil Si tendu, si ténu, si fragile Angle droit du désert du Sertão Si stérile, si perdu, si brûlant Le soleil, mangeur d'hommes et de fous Immobile, efficace et tout roux Trace encore quelques barreaux obliques Entre toi et ta mort symétrique
Urubus, vous n'avez pas de cri Cri de chasse, cri d'amour, cri de peur Urubus, vous attendez qu'on meure Mort de faim, mort d'amour, mort de peur
Le silence est un cri qu'on étouffe Et la peur du sable dans ta bouche La lumière un fusil dans les reins La fatigue un foyer qu'on éteint Tous tes pas dans la poussière qui danse Sont comptés par le temps qui avance Tu oublies et tu crois qu'il s'endort Il te suivra jusqu'à Salvador
Tournez, Urubus Quand la lumière des villes s'obscurcit vers le néon fragile! Planez, Urubus Au-dessus des soumis comme une ombre portée sur la vie! Vivez, Urubus Cachés dans vos buildings sans un cri, penchés sur vos plannings! Vivez, Urubus Glissez vos doigts d'acier dans nos démocraties avancées! Tournez, Urubus Donnez-nous un peu d'air et on vous laisse le phosphate et le fer! Tournez, Urubus Qui contrôlez le temps, mines d'or, de platine, de diamants! Tuez, Urubus Tout ce qui vous résiste, ce qui vit, qui respire, qui existe! Fouillez, Urubus Au fond de leurs entrailles, becs crochus, longs couteaux et tenailles! Cherchez, Urubus Ce qui nous fait marcher, ce qui nous fait rêver, nous aimer! Planez, Urubus Au-dessus du linceul que déchire le poing d'un homme seul!
Crevez, Urubus Tombez comme des pierres sur la terre, le goudron en enfer! Personne Urubus Ne viendra vous becqueter Même pas les fourmis rouges affamées
Urubus Les aigles sont déchus Innombrables vous gardez les issues!

Largo paradigma donde estaba la razón Cuna de locura para verte quien sos vos Montevedio en el cielo
Paga con la vida la esperanza y el amor Vale mucho más dar algo que pedírtelo Montevedio en el cielo
Ese tiempo pasará con la verdad que hay Danza, danza el sueño, sueño de carnaval Bajo las dos lunas con sus brillos de cristal Una en lo alto la otra sobre ese mar Uruguay, Uruguay, Uruguay, Uruguay...
Cada vez que el mundo mueve su gran corazón toda su inocencia rueda bajo el sol Montevedio en el cielo
El que tiene dos lunas también tiene doble sol El que tiene tierra y río tiene gaviota y gorrión Montevedio en el cielo
Ese tiempo pasará con la verdad que hay Danza, danza el sueño, sueño de carnaval Bajo las dos lunas con sus brillos de cristal Una en lo alto la otra sobre ese mar Uruguay, Uruguay, Uruguay, Uruguay...
Venedig im Regen Composer(s): Robby Musenbichler - Hubert Moser - Wolfgang Eltner First performance by: Thomas Forstner - 1991
Lichter im Regen, ich hab' dich gesehen Ein Lächeln wie sanfte Magie Verzaubert, erfroren, ganz in dir verloren Gefühle so tief wie die Nacht
Stilles Begreifen und Sehnsucht nach mehr Zärtliche Augen, will dir gehör'n
Venedig im Regen Lass uns diese Nacht einfach träumen Venedig im Regen Bis ans Ende der Nacht einfach träumen
Dein Atem ganz leicht, an meiner Schulter vergraben Dein Zauber ganz tief in mir Erfühlen, erahnen, von dir fortgetragen Bei dir sein und doch nicht hier
Stilles Begreifen und Sehnsucht nach mehr Zu zärtliche Augen, will dir gehör'n
Venedig im Regen Lass uns diese Nacht einfach träumen Venedig im Regen Bis ans Ende der Nacht einfach träumen
Venedig im Regen (Lass uns diese Nacht) einfach träumen Venedig im Regen Bis ans Ende der Nacht einfach träumen
Venedig im Regen (Lass uns diese Nacht) einfach träumen Träumen
Us And Them Composer(s): Roger Waters; Rick Wright Performer(s): Pink Floyd; and various other artists
Us, and them And after all we're only ordinary men Me, and you God only knows it's noz what we would choose to do Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died And the general sat and the lines on the map moved from side to side Black and blue And who knows which is which and who is who. Up and down But in the end it's only round and round. Haven't you heard it's a battle of words The poster bearer cried Listen son, said the man with the gun There's room for you inside
"I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off lightly, 'cos I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"
Down and out It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about With, without And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about? Out of the way, it's a busy day I've got things on my mind For the want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died
Something Wonderful Composer(s): Richard Rogers - Oscar Hammerstein II First performance by: Terry Saunders - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists
This is a man who thinks with his heart His heart is not always wise This is a man who stumbles and falls But this is a man who tries This is a man youll forgive and forgive And help and protect as long as you live
He will not always say What you would have him say But now and then hell say Something wonderful
The thoughtless things hell do Will hurt and worry you Then all at once hell do Something wonderful
He has a thousand dreams That wont come true You know that he believes in them And thats enough for you
Youll always go along Defend him when hes wrong And tell him when hes strong He is wonderful Hell always need your love And so hell get your love A man who needs your love Can be wonderful
He has a thousand dreams That wont come true You know that he believes in them And thats enough for you
Youll always go along Defend him when hes wrong And tell him when hes strong He is wonderful Hell always need your love And so hell get your love A man who needs your love Can be wonderful
Use It Wisely Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn
Hear me you business blackmailers When I see what you've done to the wild I feel like a man standing over The corpse of his murdered child
Use it wisely Use it wisely ... go on Reap your harvest, Wise Users 'Til everything is gone
Haul the last fish from the ocean Poison the beds where they spawn Drag the last tiger to market So some prick can stand tall in Taiwan
Use it wisely Use it wisely ... go on Reap your harvest, Wise Users 'Til everything is gone
And if you lay drunk in your wasteland I'd take your wallet and spit right in your eye No point in explaining this action You'll never get it 'til the day that you die
Use it wisely Use it wisely ... go on Reap your harvest, Wise Users 'Til everything is gone
If I gave you a gun with one bullet For the honor left so far behind Would you think what you've willed to your offspring For nothing unto nothing consigned
Use it wisely Use it wisely ... go on Reap your harvest, Wise Users 'Til everything is gone
And yes, I believe there is beauty And yes, I believe in truth And in the seemingly infinite hunger Of humans for destroying them both
Use it wisely Use it wisely ... go on Reap your harvest, Wise Users 'Til everything is gone
Canzone Per Te Composer(s): Renato Mascetti First performance by: Sandra Simó - 1991
Io questa sera vorrei sognare un po' Con quattro note fermare la realtà Poi nella mente ritorna l'allegria Se c'è una canzone mia
Lei mi riporta a scoprire dentro me Nei miei sorrisi la tua complicità Poi dare un calcio alla mia tristezza che C'è quando te ne vai
Portami via con te, non mi lasciare mai Non voglio perderti, stringimi forte perché C'è una canzone che ti parlerà di me A lei affiderò tutto il mio amore per te
Poi ritrovarmi seduta dentro un bar Con le mie note e un sogno dentro me No, no, non serve fermare la realtà Dai chiudi gli occhi e vai
Portami via con te, non mi lasciare mai Non voglio perderti, stringimi forte perché C'è una canzone che ti parlerà di me A lei affiderò tutto il mio amore

Use Your Imagination Composer(s): Chip Davis; Stiles Performer(s): Mud
How come you're the kind of guy whose crawling round the garbage in the backstreet It's time that you took of my friend and found yourself another nightime beat How come that hazy twilight world came down on you and like a fog surrounds you Stand over here right by my side I'm gonna help you get back to your feet
Use your imagination Open up your eyes Use your imagination, c'mon and give it a try Use your imagination Open up your eyes Use your imagination c'mon and give it a try
How come man, you're drinking, slowly sinking making hookers on the backstreet I'll get you 10 my friend the ends you tie ain't ever gonna meet How come with your shining daydream dark clouds fell and turned the world against you I've said it once I'll tell you now right here's the place where you'll find all you need
Could It Be Composer(s): Paul Abela - Raymond Mahoney First performance by: Georgina & Paul Giordimaina - 1991
Shadows fall, it's so lonely waiting here There's a garden bare out there, where songbirds sing no more No golden stardust shining and no lining on the cloud Could it be you and me have found our rainbow's end?
Autumn leaves falling softly all around There ain't but a single sound of voices I once knew No silver star to follow and no moon to light the way Could it be you and me are playing 'let's pretend'?
Won't you just call me? If I'm to blame at all, I'll say I'm sorry It's useless standing tall, I'm longing for your touch I'm waiting for a love I knew so well So well
Winter cold, and the wind blows through my hair Deep inside you know I care, no matter what's in store Our lines of love ain't rhyming and the rhythm is all gone Could it be you and me can't say we're on the mend? Let's pretend
Won't you just call me? If I'm to blame at all, I'll say I'm sorry It's useless standing tall, I'm longing for your touch I'm waiting for a love I knew so well Oo yeah...
Whoa whoa... won't you just call me? That's all I need to hear to ease the worry I'll kiss each lonely tear, to me you mean so much God knows I speak the truth and time will tell
Used To Bad News Composer(s): Bradley Delp Performer(s): Boston
Just let me hear it from your lips Its the last thing that Ill ask you to say Dont wanna hear it from strangers If its over let me have it straight
Ive been used But Im takin it like a man Im confused But Im doin the best that I can
Ive been tossed around plenty before Ive had this heart of mine broken and more I cant find a reason for sure But Ive gotten used to bad news (cant find me a reason for sure)
Dont tell me why Yes its over I can see the end But please dont lie If youre leavin me like a friend
Ive been tossed around plenty of times And Ive read between all the lines Youre just another in the grand design And Ive gotten used to bad news
I know what youre sayin is bad Its not what I wanted but Im ready for that Im ready for that, yea.
Ive been used But Im takin it like a man Im confused But Im doin the best that I can
Ive been tossed around plenty before Ive had this heart of mine broken and more I cant find a reason for sure But Ive gotten used to bad news (cant find me a reason for sure)
Something To Grab For Composer(s): Ric Ocasek Performer(s): Ric Ocasek
If you want to hang on my shoulder I'm standing here If you want to do it all over Let me get near If you were another pretender I'd pass you by If you were a lost weekender Maybe I'd try When you gonna give me something to grab for When you gonna put it in my sight When you gonna give me something to grab for When you gonna show me what it's like If you want to talk about it I got the time When you're looking so enchanted You cover my mind If you think I'll wait forever Maybe you're right There's no such thing as now or never There's only twilight If you want to take it lightly It won't make a sound If you want to take me over I won't turn you down
Used To Be Composer(s): Miller; Hirsh Performer(s): Stevie Wonder & Charlene Marilynn D'Angelo
Superman was killed in Dallas There's no love left in the palace Someone took the Beatles' lead guitar Have another Chivas Regal You're 12 years old and sex is legal Your parents don't know where or who you are
Used to be the hero of the ballgame Took the time to shake the loser's hand Used to be that failure only meant you didn't try In a world where people gave a damn
Great big wars in little places Look at all those frightened faces But don't come here, we just don't have the room Love thy neighbours wife and daughter Cleanse your life with Holy water We don't need to bathe, we've got perfume
Used to be a knight in shining armour Didn't have to own a shiny car Dignity and courage were the measure of a man Not the drugs he needs to hide the scar
Can your teacher read, does your preacher pray Does your president have soul Have you heard a real good ethnic joke today Mama took to speed and daddy ran away But you mustn't lose control Let's cut the class, I got some grass The kids are wild we just can't tame 'em Do we have the right to blame them
We fed them all our indecisions We wrecked their minds with television But what the hell, they're too young to feel pain But I believe that love can save tomorrow Believe the truth can make us free Someone tried to say it, then we nailed Him to a cross I guess it's still the way it used to be
Draumur Um Nínu Composer(s): Eyjólfur Kristjánsson
First performance by: Stefán & Eyfi - 1991
Núna ertu hjá mér, Nína Strýkur mér um vangann, Nína Ó... haltu í höndina á mér, Nína Því þú veist að ég mun aldrei aftur Ég mun aldrei, aldrei aftur Aldrei aftur eiga stund með þér
Það er sárt að sakna, einhvers Lífið heldur áfram, til hvers? Ég vil ekki vakna, frá þér Því ég veit að þú munt aldrei aftur Þú munt aldrei, aldrei aftur Aldrei aftur strjúka vanga minn
Þegar þú í draumum mínum birtist allt er ljúft og gott Og ég vildi ég gæti sofið heila öld Því að nóttin veitir aðeins skamma stund með þér
Er ég vakna, Nína þú ert ekki lengur hér Opna augun engin strýkur blítt um vanga mér
Dagurinn er eilífð, án þín Kvöldið kalt og tómlegt, án þín Er nóttin kemur fer ég, til þín
Þegar þú í draumum mínum birtist allt er ljúft og gott Og ég vildi ég gæti sofið heila öld Því að nóttin veitir aðeins skamma stund með þér
Er ég vakna Nína, þú ert ekki lengur hér Opna augun engin strýkur blítt um vanga mér
Er ég vakna ó... Nína, þú ert ekki lengur hér Opna augun engin strýkur blítt um vanga mér
Use Ta Be My Girl Composer(s): Kenny Gamble; Leon Huff Performer(s): The O'Jays; Garnett Silk
Good lovin', the girl's got plenty good lovin' Ask me how I know and I'll tell you so She used to be my girl
I respect her When she was mine, I used to neglect her She wanted more than I could give But as long as I live She'll be my girl, she, she used to be my girl She used to be my girl She had a charming personality The girl was so right for me She's my girl And if I had the chance I'd take her back As a matter of fact, right away, like today Not only good lookin', the girl was so smart, you can't beat her cookin' Ask me how I know and I'll tell you so She used to be my girl Deep down inside I still love her I place no one above her She's warm and sensitive For as long as I live she'll be my girl If I had the chance I'd take her back As a matter of fact right away like today
Good lovin', the girl's got plenty good lovin' Ask me how I know and I'll tell you so She used to be my girl, my girl She used to be, used to be my girl She used to be my girl
I wouldn't lie about a thing like that She used to be my girl

I know you don't believe me She used to be my girl
Something Tells Me Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Harry Warren - Charles Dunn Performer(s): Fats Waller and multiple other artists
Haven't read it in your eyes Haven't heard it in your sighs Couldn't tell you why it's so Nevertheless, I only know....
Something tells me I'm falling in love Something tells me you're sent from above Not the stars or the man in the moon Though I'm certain they set the stage and opened the curtain
Something tells me my waiting is through I hope something is telling you too Something whispers that we'll never part And something tells me it's my heart
Must have been so all the time Must have known that you'd be mine You were bound to come to me How I behaved was plain to see
Something tells me I'm falling in love Something tells me you're sent from above Not the stars or the man in the moon Though I'm certain they set the stage and opened the curtain
Something tells me my waiting is through I hope something is telling you too Something whispers that we'll never part And something tells me it's my heart
Usignolo Composer(s): Martelli; Castellani; Concina Performer(s): Claudio Villa; Giorgio Consolini
Quando cantavi alla vita Un usignolo eri tu Per me, per me, per me Ma la tua voce è cambiata Più non mi parla d'amor Per te, per te, per te Usignolo Ma come sa di pianto la tua voce Mi dice il cuore che non trovi pace Mi dice il cuore che non sei felice Usignolo La tua canzone nasce da un sospiro L'amore che tu vivi è tanta amaro Sei prigioniero in una gabbia d'oro L'oro ha fermato il tuo volo E t'ha spezzato le ali Nella tua voce v'è il pianto O mio usignolo Usignolo Per sempre spengo un sogno nel mio cuore Io che innalzavo già per te un altare Coi fior di campo del mio grande amore Usignolo Usignolo
