Eppure son simpatico quando mi guardo allo specchio sono un simpatico per i compagni e per gli amici mentre per te, solo per te per te non sono che una cicca l'avanzo di una sigaretta, fumata
Quante ragazze mi hanno anche detto che son bello quanti ragazzi mi voglion tutti per fratello e invece tu, invece tu mi sbatti via come una cicca perché non sono che una cicca per te
Io so già che un giorno tu vorrai raccogliermi ti brucerai con il mio amore sì ti brucerai ma non mi avrai
Io so già che un giorno tu vorrai raccogliermi ti brucerai con il mio amore sì ti brucerai ma non mi avrai
(Would You Like To Be The) Love Of My Life From the film "Second Chorus" Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Artie Shaw Performer(s): Fred Astaire (with Artie Shaw's Orch.)
Would you like to be the love of my life for always And always watch over me To square my blunders and share my dreams One day with caviar, next day a chocolate bar
Would you like to take the merry-go-round I'll lead you, I'll need you Just Wait till you see
I hope in your horoscope there is room for a dope who adores you That would make the only dream of my life come true For the love of my life is you
Keep Me In Mind Composer(s): Ray Agius - Alfred C. Sant First performance by: Mike Spiteri - 1995
That old feeling Dreams we shared together Are just fragments of the past
There's a silence Shades of stormy weather Was our love too good to last?
Light a candle, sing a song Look for rainbows There's nothing wrong Every night I cry my heart out 'Cause we're driftin' apart, now I know
Keep me in mind When you're all alone Dial my number I'll wait by the phone
We'll have tomorrow And sweet dreams to follow Hold me forever So keep me in mind, love 'Cause you're in my heart
A sweet memory From a world of laughter Brings back echoes Night and day
Light a candle, sing a song Look for a rainbow There's nothing wrong Every night I cry my heart out 'Cause we're driftin' apart, now I know
Keep me in mind When you're all alone Dial my number I'll wait by the phone
Send me some lovin' And take me to heaven Put love on the line Just make it known that you're mine
Keep me in mind When dark shadows fall Don't go to strangers I'm there when you call We'll have tomorrow And sweet dreams to follow Hold me forever So keep me in mind, love 'Cause you're in my heart ('Cause you're in my heart) 'Cause you're in my heart ('Cause you're in my heart) 'Cause you're in my heart

Who's gonna kiss me Who's gonna thrill me Who's gonna hold me tight ..... Tonight!
Why did I tell you I was going to Shanghai I wannna be with you tonight Why did I holler I was going to Shanghai I wanna be with you tonight It was just a little misunderstanding That a kiss on the cheek could patch I need you so badly, I'd gladly Start all over from scratch

Where are you, now that I need you Now that I want you so badly I could cry Where are you (Where are you?) Where did fate lead you (Where are you?) Funny how I dreamed you'd still be standing by

Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy Ich hab' geträumt von dir Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy Du stehst vor meiner Tür Immerzu finde ich keine Ruh' Sag' wann kommst du zu mir? Ich bin dir, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, so treu
Jeden Tag um zehn Könnte es gescheh'n Denn zwei Häuser weiter kommst du aus der Tür Doch dann gehst du vorüber
Als sie dich so sah Fragte schon Mama ``Wer ist denn der nette, sympathische Mann der wohnt doch nebenan?''
Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy Ich hab' geträumt von dir Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy Du stehst vor meiner Tür Immerzu finde ich keine Ruh' Sag' wann kommst du zu mir? Ich bin dir, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, so treu
Ja, ich träumte schon Du am Telefon Ich hör' deine Stimme die zärtlich mich fragt ``Wann können wir uns sehen?''
Aber um halb acht Bin ich aufgewacht Und der erste Kuss unterm Kirschbluetenbaum War leider nur ein Traum
Ja, ja, ja, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy Ich hab' geträumt von dir Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy Du stehst vor meiner Tür Immerzu finde ich keine Ruh' Sag' wann kommst du zu mir? Ich bin dir, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, so treu Denn ich bin dir Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, so treu

If I could just get you to love me one more time For just a moment have you here with me With your sweet lips next to mine you lose all track of time 'Cause when you close your eyes that's when I'll make you see
It's been a while since you have been here in my arms Oh, how they ache to hold you tenderly I've got so much love to give, if you'll take it we'll both live And when you close your eyes, that's when I'll make you see
I'll make you see the sky is just a little bit bluer I'll make you see my love is just a little bit truer I want both your heart and mind, make you want me all the time And when you close your eyes, that's when I'll make you see
I'll make you see the birds will sing a little bit sweeter I'll make you see that I love you a little completer If you'll take me in your arms, let me keep you nice and warm And then just close your eyes, that's when I'll make you see That you love me
Sonic Attack Composer(s): Harvey Bainbridge - Dave Brock - Huw Lloyd-Langton - Michael Moorcock Performer(s): Hawkwind
In case of Sonic Attack on your district, follow these rules..... If you are making love, it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously Do not waste time blocking your ears Do not waste time seeking a soundproof shelter Try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible, but do not panic..... Use your wheels, it is what they are for Small babies may be placed inside the special cocoons, which should be left if possible, in a shelter Do not attempt to use your own limbs If no wheels are available, metal, not organic, limbs should be employed whenever practical..... Remember, in the case of Sonic Attack Survival does mean every man for himself Statistically more people survive if they think only of themselves
Do not attempt to rescue friends, relatives, or loved ones You have only a few seconds to escape Use those seconds sensibly or you will inevitably die Do not panic Think only of yourselves....
These are the first signs of Sonic Attack You will notice small objects, such as ornaments, oscillating You will notice a vibration in your diaphragm You will hear a distant hissing in your ears You will feel dizzy You will feel the need to vomit There will be bleeding from orifices There will be an ache in the pelvic region You may be subject to fits of hysterical shouting, or even laughter These are all sign of imminent Sonic destruction Your only real protection is flight If you are less than ten years old, then remain in your shelter and use your cocoon But remember: You can help no-one else No-one else No-one else......
(What Did I Do To Be So) Black And Blue Composer(s): Thomas "Fats" Waller; Harry Brooks; Andy Razaf Performer(s: Louis Armstrong & His Orch.; and various other artists
Out in the street, shufflin' feet Couples passin' two by two While here am I, left high and dry Black, and 'cause I'm black I'm blue
Browns and yellers, all have fellers Gentlemen prefer them light Wish I could fade, can't make the grade Nothing but dark days in sight
Cold, empty bed, springs hard as lead Pains in my head, feel like old Ned What did I do to be so black and blue?
No joys for me, no company Even the mouse ran from my house All my life through I've been so black and blue
I'm white inside, it don't help my case 'Cause I can't hide, what is on my face, oh!
I'm so forlorn, life's just a thorn My heart is torn, why was I born? What did I do to be so black and blue?
'Cause you're black, folks think you lack They laugh at you, and scorn you too What did I do to be so black and blue?
When you are near, they laugh and sneer Set you aside and you're denied What did I do to be so black and blue?
How sad I am, each day I feel worse My mark of Ham seems to be a curse, oh
How will it end? ain't got a friend My only sin is my skin What did I do to be so black and blue?
Fra Mols Til Skagen First performance by: Aud Wilken - 1995
La' mig vide hvornår Alle togene går For jeg vil vågne hos dig Nu har sneen låst mig
Kun en vinter herfra Kold og frysende klar Send mig dine tanker For mit hjerte banker
Fra Mols til Skagen, fra Mols til Skagen Fra Mols til Skagen, jeg savner dig Og dine silkelagner Og morgenmad på blå altaner Der findes ingen vilde svaner Så længe sneen daler
Du var det hele for mig Nu' jeg stille og bleg Du er solens kejser Mine drømme rejser
Fra Mols til Skagen, fra Mols til Skagen Fra Mols til Skagen, jeg savner dig Og dine silkelagner Og morgenmad på blå altaner Der findes ingen vilde svaner Så længe sneen daler
Silkelagner Og morgenmad på blå altaner Der findes ingen vilde svaner Så længe sneen daler
Silkelagner (Fra Mols til Skagen) Og morgenmad på blå altaner (Fra Mols til Skagen) Der findes ingen vilde svaner Så længe sneen daler

Sonhar Mais um sonho impossível Lutar Quando é fácil ceder Vencer o inimigo invencível Negar quando a regra é vender Sofrer a torutura implacável Romper a incabível prisão Voar num limite improvável Tocar o inacessível chão É minha lei, é minha questão Virar esse mundo Cravar esse chão Não me importa saber Se é terrível demais Quantas guerras terei que vencer Por um pouco de paz E amanhã, se esse chão que eu beijei For meul eito e perdão Vou saber que valeu delirar E morrer de paixão E assim, seja lá como for Vai ter fim a infinita aflição E o mundo vai ver uma flor Brotar do impossível chão

The Impossible Dream From the Musical "Man Of La Mancha" (1965) Composer(s): Joe Darion - Mitch Leigh First performance/First release by: Richard Kiley - 1965/1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages: 1969 - La Quête 1974 - Sonho Impossível
To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right, without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell for a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true To this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this That one man scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star!

(We'll Stroll Through The Park) Just As We Used To Do Composer(s): Lew Brown; Ed Moran; Roy Ingraham
Mabel used to worry, Mabel used to pout She said "Oh! will my darling Jack be the same when he gets back" Mabel got a cable, now Mabel doesn't doubt It read "My dear, I'm leaving here, my program's all mapped out"
Mabel swept the parlor, brought it up to date she fixed the sofa where it would be in a place where none could see Mabel now is nervous for she can hardly wait She wrote to Jack Said "Hurry back I think your plans are great"
We'll stroll through the park just as we used to do We'll go for a lark just as we used to do We'll sit in the parlor and turn the lights down Low right on my knee is where you'll be and oh! oh! oh! We'll hug and squeeze just as we used to do We'll kiss and tease, just as we used to do Your dad will yell, "turn up that light" And what else can we do We'll have to kiss and say "good night" just as we used to do

Rêver un impossible rêve Porter le chagrin des départs Brûler d'une possible fièvre Partir où personne ne part Aimer jusqu'à la déchirure Aimer, même trop, même mal Tenter, sans force et sans armure D'atteindre l'inaccessible étoile Telle est ma quête Suivre l'étoile Peu m'importent mes chances Peu m'importe le temps Ou ma désespérance Et puis lutter toujours Sans questions ni repos Se damner Pour l'or d'un mot d'amour Je ne sais si je serai ce héros Mais mon cur serait tranquille Et les villes s'éclabousseraient de bleu Parce qu'un malheureux Brûle encore, bien qu'ayant tout brûlé Brûle encore, même trop, même mal Pour atteindre à s'en écarteler Pour atteindre l'inaccessible étoile
