Looking Out for No. 1 Composer(s): Randy Bachman Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive; The Guess Who
Ev'ry day is an endless train, you got to ride it to the end of the line Be a troubleshooter, blow the bad luck away And you will make it to your station on time
And you'll find out ev'ry trick in the book And that there's only way to get things done You'll find out the only way to the top is lookin' out for number one I mean you, keep looking out for number one
Ev'ry night is a different game, we gotta work for our fortune and fame Success is a ladder, take a step at a time And the people will remember you name
Yes, I found out all the tricks of the trade And that there's only one way you're gonna get things done I found out the only way to the top is lookin' out for number one And that's me, I'm looking out for number one
Ev'ry day is an endless train, but I ride it to end of the line I'm a real troubleshooter, and I blow it away No one's gonna get what's mine
I found out ev'ry trick in the book And that there's only way to get things done I found out the only way to the top is lookin' out for number one I mean you, keep looking out for number one And that's us; keep lookin' out for number one That's me; I'm looking out for number one

Here is my guitar from Barcelona Full of the soul of ancient Spain Born of a tree in Catalonia And of that mainly rainy plain
You'll like her form, gracious and slender The sunny color of her skin. You'll love her voice, mellow and tender Her fiery beat will make you spin
La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la
I well remember when I met her Hung in a showcase upside down Right then and there I had to get her From that old shop in Brussels town Adios Espania and seguidillas Adios toreros full of flame No more sombreros and mantillas Sister Adele shall be her name
La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la
One shiny day I heard God's calling Oh yes, my Lord if You say so! I packed my bags without much stalling Took my quitar and said, Let's go! Ever since then through every weather Sister Adele stays at my side Day in, day out, we sing together Praising the Lord far and wide.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sister Adele is never lonely She helps me keep my hope up high God is her love, her one and only I know he voice can reach the sky Someday up there God be willing I'll be a guest in the great hall. And for the dance won't it be thrilling Sister Adele will lead the ball!
La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Soul Of The Sea Composer(s): Nancy Wilson - Ann Wilson Performer(s): Heart
Today you looked around to my heart's call This tiny life ain't been strangled after all Time, time, time, time Never ask what's become of us Just dedicate your sorrow Here and now To the soul of the sea And me
Rushin' to me You turned around to my song's call You dreamer in the sand Just lie there laughing til the fall Kindest lover I can't stay alone tonight Bring me all your love Here and now Come rushin' to me
Wake up late Without a smile Telephone rings You run like a child On the street Into the day The people I meet Have nothing to say
No smile No sorrow No laughter No tomorrow They talk hen to hen They talk about their men And practice all the tricks for them Too soon nightime's coming on Deep in the darkness feeling alone
No rain No seed No dreams No silence Far away today Mama ocean hold me to you Rock me on your waves And tell me... Is it all true?
Time, time, time, time Never ask what's become of us Dedicate your sorrow Here and now To the soul the sea and me
C'était une guitare espagnole Née d'un bouleau ou d'un sapin Dans une boutique de Barcelone Un beau matin du mois de juin Au fond du coeur une étiquette Indique son identité Et sa parole chaude et discrète Était bien douce à écouter
Dans une vitrine du vieux Bruxelles On la suspendit par le cou Puis certain jour une demoiselle S'en vint l'acheter pour quelques sous Adieu flamencos chauds d'Espagne Andalousie et corridas Jolie guitare, ma compagne Adèle tu t'appeleras
Pour répondre à la voix divine Qui l'invitait à sa moisson La pérsonnelle - c'est moi - quitta la ville Pour un couvent des environs Adèle partit dans les bagages Et commença son noviciat Joyeuse et pleine de courage Et chanta Dieu à pleine voix
Sur tous les tons de toute son âme Adèle s'est vouée au Seigneur Et ses chansons partout proclament Que servir Dieu c'est son bonheur Derrière les harpes et les cithares Qui forment l'orchestre des cieux On entendra, humble guitare Un jour, Adèle, chez le Bon Dieu

Well, I spent a lifetime lookin' for you Single bars and good time lovers were never true Playin' a fools game, hopin' to win Tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again
I was lookin' for love In all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces Of what I'm dreamin' of Hopin' to find a friend and a lover I'll bless the day I discover Another heart lookin' for love
I was alone then, no love in sight An' I did everything I could to get me through the night Don''t know where it started or where it might end I'd turn to a stranger just like a friend
I was lookin' for love In all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces Of what I'm dreamin' of Hopin' to find a friend and a lover I'll bless the day I discover Another heart lookin' for love
You came a knockin' at my heart's door You're everything I've been lookin' for
No more lookin' for love In all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces Of what I'm dreamin' of Now that I found a friend and a lover God bless the day I discovered you
Oh you, lookin' for love In all the wrong places (Lookin' for love) in too many faces Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces Of what I'm dreamin' of Now that I've found a friend and a lover God bless the day I discovered you Oh you, lookin' for love In all the wrong places ...

Soeur Anne Composer(s): Michel Emer Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Sur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir?
Je vois des soldats couverts d'armes Tout prêts à mourir et à tuer Partout, je ne vois que des larmes Le monde semble s'y habituer Je vois, plus violente que la peste La haine couvrir l'horizon Les hommes se déchirent, se détestent Frontières, mitrailleuses, prisons L'amour, qui n'a plus rien à faire Viens de nous quitter à son tour Sur terre, il était solitaire L'amour a besoin de l'amour
Sur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir?
Je vois des enfants sans leur mère Je vois des parents sans enfants Et des paysans sans leurs terres Je vois des terres sans paysans Je vois des grandes maisons vides Et de grands vides dans les maisons Des gens au visage livide Qui marchent sans chanter de chansons Des hommes qui essaient de sourire Des femmes au regard si peureux Des vieux qui ne savent plus rire Des jeunes qui sont déjà vieux
Sur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir?
Je vois une grande lumière Qui semble venir de très loin Je vois un enfant et sa mère Mon Dieu, qu'ils sont loin, qu'ils sont loin... Voici qu'ils s'approchent de la terre L'enfant a grandi, je le vois Il vient partager nos misères Déjà, il apporte sa croix Bientôt, sa divine colère Chassera le démon pour toujours Bientôt reviendra sur la terre La vie, la pitié et l'amour

Io Senza Te Composer(s): N. Martinetti - P. Reber First performance by: Peter, Sue & Marc - 1981
Dopo la tempesta camminiamo un po' Sulla sabbia pesta chiacchieriamo un po' Ho sbagliato io, hai sbagliato tu Quel che è stato è stato, non parliamone più
Io senza te, cosa farei Io non respiro se tu non ci sei Io senza te, oh ... cosa sarei Una farfalla che non vola più
Prenderti nel vento come un anno fa Stesso sentimento, stessa intensità E trovar parole che non dissi mai Mentre il sole muore sul mio cuore stai
Io senza te, cosa farei Della mia vita e dei giorni miei Io senza te, oh ... come farei Amore mio t'inventerei
Io senza te, cosa farei, oh ... Io senza te, oh ... come farei Amore mio t'inventerei

On a tous un banc, un arbre ou une rue Où l'on a bercé nos rêves On a tous un banc, un arbre ou une rue Une enfance trop brève
Un jour ou l'autre il faut partir Pour se construire un avenir, un avenir Et c'est l'inoubliable instant Où l'on rend ses habits d'enfant, d'enfant
Chacun s'envole rempli d'espoir Sur le chemin qu'il s'est choisi, qu'il s'est choisi Vers la richesse ou vers la gloire Pourtant quel que soit notre but, notre but
Un jour ou l'autre il faut partir Pour se construire un avenir, un avenir Et c'est l'inoubliable instant Où l'on rend ses habits d'enfant, d'enfant
Chacun dans son coin d'horizon Ne défend que ses ambitions, ses ambitions Même si nous ne partageons rien Que nous reste-t-il en commun, en commun?
Un jour ou l'autre il faut partir Pour se construire un avenir, un avenir Et c'est l'inoubliable instant Où l'on rend ses habits d'enfant, d'enfant
