Something's Coming Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein - Stephen Sondheim First release by: Larry Kert - 1957 Covered by multiple other artists
A Back Yard - 5:30 p.m. (Tony has been painting a sign for Doc's drugstore where he now works) Riff talks him into joining the Jets at the dance but Tony's mind is already on other things)
Tony: Could be! Who knows? There's something due any day I will know, right away Soon as it shows It may come connanballing down Through the sky Gleam in its eye, bright as rose Who knows? It's only just out of reach Down the block, on a beach Under a tree I got a feeling there's a miracle due Gonna come true, comin' to me... Could it be, yes, it could Something's comin', something good If I can wait! Something's comin' I don't know what it is But it is gonna be great! With a click, with a shock Phone'll jingle, door will knock Open the latch! Something's comin' Don't know when But it's soon Catch the moon One-handed catch! Around the corner Or whistlin' down the river Come on, deliver to me! Will it be? Yes, it will! Maybe just by holding still It'll be there! Come on, something Come on in Don't be shy Meet a guy Pull up a chair! The air is humming And something great is coming! Who knows? It's only just out of reach Down the block, on a beach Maybe tonight... Maybe tonight... Maybe tonight...!
Urban Guerilla Composer(s): Dave Brock; Robert Calvert Performer(s): Hawkwind; Cobra Verde
I'm an urban guerilla I make bombs in my cellar I'm a derelict dweller I'm a potential killer I'm a street fighting dancer I'm a revolutionary romancer I'm society's cancer I'm a two-tone panther So let's not talk of love and flowers And things that don't explode We've used up all of our magic powers Trying to do it in the road
I'm a political bandit And you don't understand it You took my dream and canned it It is not the way I planned it I'm society's destructor I'm a petrol bomb constructor I'm a cosmic light conductor I'm the people's debt collector So watch out Mr. Business Man Your empire's about to blow I think you'd better listen, man In case you did not know
Fångad Av En Stormvind Composer(s): Stephan Berg First performance by: Carola - 1991
Uh-huh yeah Woh-ho-ho-oh
Jag har aldrig slutat tro Att efter varje natt väntar gryningen Fast jag inte kan förstå Så finns det tid för skratt när jag börjar om igen
Känner doften från en stilla ocean Plötsligt står jag i en levande orkan
Jag är fångad av en stormvind Fast för dig Ingenting kan hindra mig När det blåser i mitt hjärta Fångad av en stormvind Natt och dag Här finns bara du och jag Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar
Det är dags att ge sig av För stunder som har flytt kommer aldrig mer Reser ut på öppet hav Där allting blir som nytt I den framtid som du ger
Utan saknad lämnar jag min trygga hamn Fri men ändå bunden till en öppen famn
Jag är fångad av en stormvind Fast för dig Ingenting kan hindra mig När det blåser i mitt hjärta Fångad av en stormvind Natt och dag Här finns bara du och jag Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar
Vi går tillsammans Förenad av kärlekens band Min längtan vaknar När du ler och räcker mig din hand
Jag är fångad av en stormvind Fångad av en stormvind (Fast för dig) Ingenting kan hindra mig När det blåser i mitt hjärta Fångad av en stormvind Natt och dag Här finns bara du och jag Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar
(Fångad av en stormvind) Jag är fångad av en stormvind
Urbummellied (Traditional) Composer(s): Karl Maria von Weber
Studio auf seiner Reis' Juchheidi, juchheida Ganz famos zu leben weiß Juchheidi, heida! Immerfort durch Dick und Dünn Schlendert er durch's Dasein hin Juchheidi, heidi Heida, juchheidi, heida!
Hat der Studio auch kein Geld Juchheidi, juchheida Ist er drum nicht schlecht bestellt Juchheidi, heida! Manches feiste Pfäffelein Ladet ihn zum Frühstück ein Juchheidi, heidi, heida Juchheidi, heida!
Kehren wir in's Wirtshaus ein Juchheidi, juchheida Trinken wir stets Bier und Wein Juchheidi, heida! Alle Mädel für uns glühn Denn wir tragen schwartz-gold-grün Juchheidi, heidi, heida Juchheidi, heida!
Bayrisch Bier und Leberwurst Juchheidi, juchheidaUnd ein Kind mit runder Brust Juchheidi, heida! Und ein Glas Krambambuli Donnerwetter Paraplui! Juchheidi, heidi, heida Juchheidi, heida!
Und so geht es lustig fort Juchheidi, juchheida Lustig hier und lustig dort Juchheidi, juchheida! Manches Mädel sieht uns nach Seufzt dabei ein stilles "Ach!" Juchheidi, heidi, heida Juchheidi, heida!
Something's Burning Composer(s): Mac Davis First release by: Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
You lie in gentle sleep beside me I hear your warm and rhythmic breathing I take your hand and hold it tightly Listen - can you not hear our young hearts gently beating I kiss the sleep from your eyes Your smile is sweeter than the morning, and here it comes
Can't you feel it baby Can't you feel it, here it comes Feel it, feel it Fire, fire
Somethin's burnin' Somethin's burnin' Somethin's burnin' And I think it's love
And now the sun is burning brightly We lie in love so close together I get the feeling deep inside me My love for you will burn forever I cup my hands to touch your face And once again I feel your fire, and here it comes
Can't you feel it baby Can't you feel it, here it comes Feel it, feel it Fire, fire
Somethin's burnin' Somethin's burnin' Somethin's burnin' And I think it's love
And I think it's love, love And I think it's love And I think it's love, love And I think it's love And I think it's love, love And I think it's love And I think it's love, love And I think it's love ...
Urgent D'Attendre Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): France Gall
Regarde-moi quand tu danses C'est bien mieux que parler trop Regarde-moi si tu penses Que ça peut te tenir chaud Devant les coups de semonce De ce monde déchiré J'ai besoin d'une réponse Quelque chose à commencer
Mais c'est urgent d'attendre Que tout change Urgent d'attendre Qu'on comprenne Urgent d'attendre Que l'amour vienne Comme le sang coule dans nos veines
Dis-moi si tu comprends tout Des orages aux désespoirs Des éclairs qui nous secouent Et des foudres du hasard Devant tout ce qui s'annonce Sur ces rythmes saccadés J'ai besoin d'une réponse Quelque chose à essayer
Mais c'est urgent d'attendre Que tout change Urgent d'attendre Qu'on comprenne Urgent d'attendre Que l'amour vienne Comme le sang coule dans nos veines
Ou ou ou ou ou ou ou Ou ou ou ou ou ou ou Ou ou ou ou ou ou ou C'est urgent d'attendre C'est urgent d'attendre Urgent d'attendre Urgent d'attendre Urgent d'attendre (ad libitum)
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

Dont tell me why Yes its over I can see the end But please dont lie If youre leavin me like a friend
