Songs Out Of Clay Composer(s): Al Stewart Performer(s): Al Stewart
Oh I know that you are an artist she said For you make your songs out of clay You carry the dust on your hands and your knees You never quite brushed it away You were trying to chisel a perfect truth When the instrument broke in your hand Now you sit alone on the greenhouse roof With your shoes full of sand.
And the golden rays of the sun Divide in the slanting mists of the rain And Maggie is on the road again

Ooh, baby, you know how I been feelin' (Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe, ooh babe) Ooh, baby, you know how I been feelin' (Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe, ooh babe) Uh...
Baby, baby, baby, you got me goin' crazy I'm feelin' kinda high, my mind is gettin' hazy But when I think of you, I know just what to do You make me feel so happy when I'm feelin' blue
You're pickin' me up with a kiss, a touch o' your hand You're all that I want, you're everything I planned Like a fairy tale story, you're the man o' my dreams My knight in shining armour, well, that's how it seems
You greet me in the morning with a kiss and a smile And for the rest of the day I'm on cloud nine (Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe...) It may sound like fantasy, but to me, it's real And I could trust my emotions 'cause I know what I feel
What we have is special, and that it would last Our hearts beaten as one, it's pumpin' blood real fast (Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe...) 'Cause the connection is truly from above And I thank God
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body I know we're really makin' love now In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body I know we're really makin' love now
Now baby, baby, when I first saw your face I saw you had flavour and I wanted a taste of this sweet thing But now there's so much more 'Cause everyday I'm thinkin' about what my baby has in store
Trust and believe, day to day, you never doubt her 'Cause I used to have a dream girl, but now I found her And she's by my side, she's my pride, my all Ten foot tall, that's how I feel, I never fall, I never fell
Oh... what the hell, I'll admit it Love was the target and you hit it So as I watch you sleep in the middle of the night You open your eyes and I know it's so right
Two hearts, two minds, two people, one love And the way you're makin' me feel It's like you're sent from up above (Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe...) Your touch, your smell, your face, a unique breed It's only love but it's all that I need
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body I know we're really makin' love now In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body I know we're really makin' love now In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body I know we're really makin' love now
I'm glad that I been found, always wanted you around Keepin' me lost for words, yeah, I know how that sounds Now I been to many places and I seen many things But nothin' that I know can ever make my heart sing like you do It's like a voodoo, you know what I'm sayin'? Baby girl, I ain't playin' I'm glad that I'm the one to rock your world 'Cause honey - yeah...
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body I know we're really makin' love now In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body I know we're really makin' love now
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body I know we're really makin' love now In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body I know we're really makin' love now
La Voix Est Libre First performance by: Frédéric Etherlinck - 1995
La voix est libre, libre de tout Tout est possible et on s'en fout En équilibre sur les genoux La voix est libre, libre de tout
La voix est libre, libre de tout Tout est possible et on s'en fout Prends-toi pour cible, tiens-toi debout La voix est libre, libre de tout
Libre de crier tes rêves Le matin quand tu te lèves T'inventer un face-à-face devant ta glace Regarde-toi dans les yeux et parle avec qui tu veux Tu t'es pas levé pour rien, c'est déjà bien
La voix est libre, libre de tout Tout est possible et on s'en fout En équilibre sur les genoux La voix est libre, libre de tout
Libre d'effacer l'écran De ces images de noir et sang Tu peux changer les couleurs qui te font peur Quand tu descends dans la rue, si on t'a pas reconnu T'as pas crié assez fort, essaie encore
La voix est libre, libre de tout Tout est possible et on s'en fout En équilibre sur les genoux La voix est libre, libre de tout
La voix est libre, libre de tout Tout est possible et tu t'en fous Chacun sa bible écris partout La voix est libre, libre de tout
Put On Your Dancing Shoes Composer(s): Steve Winwood; Will Jennings Performer(s): Steve Winwood
So much going on out there, leaves us hanging in the air And it's all that we can do to face each day and see it through Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance
You can't shut your eyes to pain, faces crying in the rain You can't keep it all inside, you need some way to let it ride Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance
When you're all over, when you know you've done all that you can do Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through
Voices shouting in the street, life lived to a ragged beat Someone's world is tumbling down, and who's the saint and where's the clown? Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance
When you're all over, when you know you've done all that you can do Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through When time is flying, when you know there's no end to these modern blues Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through
Songs Of Yesterday Composer(s): Andy Fraser - Paul Rodgers Performer(s): Free; Humboogie
Sing me a sad song and I'll be right on my way a sad song like the songs of yesterday well my father used to sing the blues sometimes it was good but my mother never saw the use and she chased him for his blood a sad song like the songs of yesterday a sad song and I'll be right on my way
Oh you know my father always used to say a bad workman blames his tools but it seems to me a man who uses the tools is just a fool
sad song and I'll be right on my way
sad song like the songs of yesterday
Well now the streets are filled with silent cars and all the world's a stage but I must get to work today today I get my wage
sad song then I'll get on on my way just like a song of yesterday listen to what I'm gonna say
Put On A Happy Face Composer(s): Lee Adams; Charles Strouse Performer(s): Tony Bennett; and various other artists
Gray skies are gonna clear up Put on a happy face Brush off the clouds and cheer up Put on a happy face Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy It's not your style You'll look so good that you'll be glad Ya' decide to smile! Pick out a pleasant outlook Stick out that noble chin Wipe off that "full of doubt" look Slap on a happy grin! And spread sunshine all over the place Just put on a happy face! Put on a happy face Put on a happy face And if you're feeling cross and bitterish Don't sit and whine Think of banana split and licorice And you'll feel fine I knew a girl so gloomy She'd never laugh or sing She wouldn't listen to me Now she's a mean old thing So spread sunshine all over the place Just put on a happy face So, put on a happy face
Il Me Donne Rendez-Vous Composer(s): Didier Barbelivien - François Bernheim First performance by: Nathalie Santamaria - 1995
C'est trois bouquets de fleurs À la porte de la maison Un poème qu'il m'écrit Comme des paroles de chanson
Sa voix au répondeur Vers les quatre heures du matin Qui me dit "Mon p'tit cur Je vous embrasse, tout va bien"
Je l'attends un peu comme le voleur Attend son heure J'ai idée que cet homme est un chat Ou un charmeur
Il me donne rendez-vous Souvent il me dit vous Vous permettez, mam'zelle De pendre à votre cou Un baiser, un bijou Quelque chose d'éternel
Il me donne rendez-vous Alors je vous l'avoue J'me sens pousser des ailes Et l'Bon Dieu est jaloux De cet ange un peu fou Qui me fait croire au ciel
Il me donne rendez-vous Comme il donnerait sa vie J'avais jamais dit vous À personne avant lui
C'est deux billets d'avion Direction les Iles Marquises Parce que j'avais dit non À New York et à Venise
C'est une grande limousine Garée au bas d' l'ascenseur Il est capable en prime De s'déguiser en chauffeur
Il est un peu dandy, un peu voyou Un peu dingue Et moi j'suis comme on dit la chanteuse De son bastringue
Il me donne rendez-vous Souvent il me dit vous Vous permettez, mam'zelle De pendre à votre cou Un baiser, un bijou Quelque chose d'éternel
Il me donne rendez-vous Alors je vous l'avoue J'me sens pousser des ailes Et l'Bon Dieu est jaloux De cet ange un peu fou Qui me fait croire au ciel
Il me donne rendez-vous Comme il donnerait sa vie J'avais jamais dit vous À personne avant lui
Il me donne rendez-vous Souvent il me dit vous Vous permettez, mam'zelle De pendre à votre cou Un baiser, un bijou Quelque chose d'éternel
Il me donne rendez-vous Alors je vous l'avoue J'me sens pousser des ailes Et l'Bon Dieu est jaloux De cet ange un peu fou Qui me fait croire au ciel Qui me fait croire au ciel
Songbird Composer(s): Steve Nelson - David Wolfert Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
Songbird sings from the heart Each word can tear you apart I sing you sing along You find your life in my song When you need the strength to carry on You've got me to turn to With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring They've helped you be strong now The song sets you free But who sings for me I'm all alone now Who sings for songbird
Sometimes when I'm all alone I sing my saddest song Lonely and no one can see This time the song is for me I can touch your secret place inside And still you don't know me With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring You've learned to be strong now My song sets you free But who sings for me I'm all alone now Where is my songbird Where is my songbird Who sings his songs for me
Vuelve Conmigo First performance by: Anabel Conde - 1995
He sentido el vacío Y un recuerdo dormido vuelve a despertar No te tengo conmigo Y me hiere por dentro tanta soledad ¿Quién sabe dónde estás? ¿Quién sabe dónde estás?
Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo Ven, ven, que necesito tu amor Ven, yo no te olvido Vuelve conmigo, mi amor
Nada queda en el alma Solamente esa llama que no morirá Que me quema en el pecho Cuando, sola en mi lecho Siento que no estás Me tienes que escuchar Me tienes que escuchar
Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo Ven, ven, que necesito tu amor Ven, vuelve conmigo Dale a este invierno calor
Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo Ven, ven, ya te he pedido perdón (Ven) Ven, yo no te olvido Vuelve conmigo, mi amor
Ooohh... (Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo) (Ven, ven, que necesito tu amor) Ven, ven, ven (Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo) (Dale a este invierno calor) Oh, yeah, yeah
Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo Ven, ven, ya te he pedido perdón (Ven) Ven, yo no te olvido Vuelve conmigo, mi amor

I'm glad you're fooling Pepsodent (oh, that happy snow) Stealing all that cash I hear your show on Thursdays (nice, huh?) What a lot of eggs you smash
Well at least I don't depend upon Colonna's big moustache (oh, he gave me the brush) You're faithful and you're fair Put it there (skin me Dad, skin me)
You've got that something in your voice So right for selling cheese (hustle a lot of the stuff) Put it there, pal Put it there (put that back in the bowl)
You know, I think your jokes are great (really?) It's just that folks are hard to please (they're just snobs, that all) Put it there, pal Put it there
Your face could make a fortune Just your nose should make a lot (how do you siphon?) I like the way you wear those gaudy-colored shirts you've got, boy! The only time a rainbow ever covered up a pot You're such a perfect square (oh-oh, is that on the paper?) (where?, where?)
Shall we dance? Sorry, I have my heavy underwear on Oh, just to once around, to the adrenalin, huh? Well, OK, if I lead
My colleague, my crony, my cohort, my friend Companions, confederates, chums to the end Like meat and potatoes, or salt and tomatoes Boy, what a blend
Don't put it in the paper (don't worry about me) Don't put it on the air (I'll finish it) Don't put it in your pipe Put it there
Confidentially, do you like this as well as singing? Leave your name with the girl when you go out We may get to you for some crowd noises Be sure and call me All right

Die Welt Dreht Sich Verkehrt First performance: Stella Jones - 1995
Das Leben wirft mich aus der Bahn Wenn du mich ansiehst Und dann deine Hand mich berührt Es macht sich auf und davon, von dem Moment an In dem dein Kuß mich verführt
Jede Norm ist mir egal Und der Wahnsinn wird normal
Die alte Welt dreht sich verkehrt Wird federleicht, und schwebt davon Gold und Platin sind nichts mehr wert Ich bin Millionär, wenn ich bei dir bin Lachen und Weinen vereint
Komm' mach aus mir einen Clown Du Akrobat ohne Seil Fliegt mit mir durch die Zeit Ein Haus aus Tagträumen bauen Wahrheit oder Betrug Kein Problem weit und breit
Jede Norm ist mir egal Und der Wahnsinn wird normal Wird normal...
(Die alte Welt dreht sich verkehrt) Wird federleicht, und schwebt davon Gold und Platin sind nichts mehr wert Ich bin Millionär, und leb' davon
Die alte Welt dreht sich verkehrt Wird federleicht Wenn ich bei dir bin Lachen und Weinen vereint
