Lordly Nightshade Composer(s): Robin Williamson Performer(s): The Incredible Stringband
Captured by Hitler with Oliver Twist in the tower Guards say here's pens and paper just sit down and work for an hour O, Goodness, how can we escape? but it's not worthwhile All I can do is smile
Down gallons of glandular corridors of the dark castle The pompous old bellman is tolling one bell At bathtime the hippies in chains they are crossing the hall Where Hitler is making his new film about it all We slip trough a pew and escape but I just don't know All I can do is grow
Tell me more, what then
Down Main Street I go on a duffel-coat hoping instead For a little room, yawn, I'm so tired with this big bag of coal on my head It's a top hat I'm trying to sell or a lesson to learn Vaguely seeking some fire to burn
While a group of middle-aged persons with dwarfish expressions and tinned conversations in Sunday blessed blue Standing around for a photograph, watch the cuckoo Do you need any coal? But it doesn't appear that they do Then I offered my throat to the wolf but I just can't die All I can do is fly
Safe and secure in the skirts of the midsummer wood Cooking soup with stale words and fresh meanings it tastes so good The green wolf with his bunch of red roses is slinking away All on a summer's day

Lord, Mr. Ford Composer(s): Dick Feller Performer(s): Jerry Reed
Well, if you're one of the millions who own one of them gas drinking, piston clinking air polluting, smoke belching, four wheeled buggies from Detroit City, then pay attention I'm about to sing your song son
Well, I'm not a man appointed judge To bear ill-will and hold a grudge But I think it's time I said me a few choice words All about that demon automobile A metal box with the polyglass wheel The end result to the dream of Henry Ford Well, I've got a car that's mine alone That me and the finance company own A ready made pile of manufactured grief And if I ain't out of gas in the pouring rain I'm a-changing a flat in a hurricane I once spent three days lost on a cloverleaf Well, it ain't just the smoke and the traffic jam That makes me the bitter fool I am But this four wheel buggy is a-dollaring me to death For gas and oils and fluids and grease And wires and tires and anti-freeze And them accessories, well honey that's something else Well, you can get a stereo tape and a color tv Get a backseat bar and reclining seats And just pay once a month, like you do your rent Well, I figured it up and over a period of time This four thousand dollar car of mine Costs fourteen thousand dollars and ninety-nine cents Well, now Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see What your simple horseless carriage has become Well, it seems your contribution to man To say the least, got a little out of hand Well, Lord Mr. Ford, what have you done
Now the average American father and mother Own one whole car and half another And I bet that half a car is a trick to buy, don't you? But the thing that amazes me I guess Is the way we measure a man's success By the kind of an automobile he can afford to buy Well now, red light, green light, traffic cop Right turn, no turn, must turn, stop Get out the credit card honey, we're out of gas Well, now all the car's placed end to end Would reach to the moon and back again And there'd probably be some fool pull out to pass Well now, how I yearn for the good old days Without that carbon monoxide haze A-hanging over the roar of the interstate Well, if the Lord that made the moon and stars Would have meant for me and you to have cars He'd have seen that we was all born with a parking space Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see What your simple horseless carriage has become Well, it seems your contribution to man To say the least, got a little out of hand Well, Lord Mr. Ford, what have you done Come away with me Lucille In my smoking, choking automobile

Sunshine girl I'm leaving soon I'll be back some day
Sunshine girl I feel your eyes on me Your looks excite me I wonder can it be Do you invite me To hold you tightly How you delight me My sunshine girl

Tonight, tonight, and every night I wanna dream about you Tonight, tonight, and every night How can I live without you When I'm home, then everyone will hear about My little sunshine girl, my sunshine girl
Tonight, tonight, and every night I'm gonna dream about you Tonight, tonight, and every night How can I live without you When I'm home, then everyone will hear about My little sunshine girl, my sunshine girl
Sunshine girl, I'm leaving soon But I'll be back some day Sunshine girl, I'm leaving soon But I'll be back some day Sunshine girl, I'm leaving soon But I'll be back some day ...
Niin Kaunis On Taivas First performance by: Jasmine - 1996
Niin kaunis on taivas, kaunis on maa Me tähtien loisteessa yö kuljetaan Rannalle kun käsikkäin saavutaan Luonas olla tahdon vaan

Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good Performer(s): Don Williams
Lord, I hope this day is good I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood I should be thankful Lord, I know I should But Lord I hope this day is good
Lord have you forgotten me I've been prayin' to you faithfully I'm not sayin' I'm a righteous man But Lord I hope you understand
I don't need fortune and I don't need fame Send down the thunder Lord, send down the rain But when you're plannin' just how it should be Plan a good day for me
Lord, I hope this day is good I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood I should be thankful Lord, I know I should But Lord I hope this day is good
You've been the king since the dawn of time All that I'm asking is a little less cryin' It might be hard for the devil to do But it would be easy for you
Lord, I hope this day is good I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood I should be thankful Lord, I know I should But Lord I hope this day is good
Sossity, You're A Woman Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Wayne Krantz
Hello you straight-laced lady Dressed in white but your shoes aren't clean Painted them up with polish In the hope we can't see where you've been The smiling face that you've worn To greet me rising at morning Sent me out to work for my score Please me and say what it's for Give me the straight-laced promise And not the pathetic lie Tie me down with your ribbons And sulk when I ask you why Your sunday paper voice cries Demanding truths I deny The bitter-sweet kiss you pretended Is offered, our affair mended Sossity: you're a woman Society: you're a woman
All of the tears you're wasting Are for yourself and not for me It's sad to know you're aging Sadder still to admit I'm free Your immature physical toy has grown Too young to enjoy at last your straight-laced agreement Woman, you were too old for me Sossity: you're a woman Society: you're a woman

Sotto Il Segno Dei Pesci Composer(s): Antonello Venditti Performer(s): Antonello Venditti
Ti ricordi quella strada eravamo io e te e la gente che correva e gridava insieme a noi Tutto quel che voglio - pensavo - e' solamente amore ed unità per noi che meritiamo un'altra vita più giusta e libera se vuoi...
Corri amore corri non aver paura...
Ti chiedevi che ti manca? una casa tu ce l'hai hai una donna una famiglia che ti tira fuori dai guai
ma tutto quel che voglio - pensavo - e' solamente amore ed unità per noi che meritiamo un altra vita più giusta e libera se vuoi nata sotto il segno nata sotto il segno dei pesci...
Ed il rock passava lento sulle nostre discussioni diciott'anni sono pochi per promettersi il futuro ma tutto quel che voglio dicevo e' solamente amore
ed unità per noi e meritiamo un altra vita violenta e tenera se vuoi nata sotto il segno nata sotto il segno dei pesci...
E Marina se ne e' andata oggi insegna in usa scuola vive male e insoddisfatta e capisce perché e' sola
ma tutto quel che cerca e che vuole e' solamente amore ed unità per noi che meritiamo un altra vista violenta e tenera se vuoi nata sotto il segno nata sotto il segno dei pesci...
E Giovanni e' un ingegnere che lavora in una radio ha bruciato la sua laurea vive solo di parole ma tutto quel che cerca e che vuole e' solamente amore ed unità per noi stretti in libera sorte violenti e teneri se vuoi...
Lord Protect My Child Composer(s): Bob Dylan First recording/First release by: Bob Dylan - 1983/1991 Covered by multiple other artists
For his age, he's wise He's got his mother's eyes There's gladness in his heart He's young and he's wild My only prayer is, if I can't be there Lord, protect my child
As his youth now unfolds He is centuries old Just to see him at play makes me smile No matter what happens to me No matter what my destiny Lord, protect my child
While the world is asleep You can look at it and weep Few things you find are worthwhile And though I don't ask for much No material things to touch Lord, protect my child
He's young and on fire Full of hope and desire In a world that's been raped, raped and defiled If I fall along the way And can't see another day Lord, protect my child
There'll be a time I hear tell When all will be well When God and man will be reconciled But until men lose their chains And righteousness reigns Lord, protect my child
Den Vilda Composer(s): Peter Grönvall - Nanne Grönvall First performance by: One More Time - 1996
Vintern, den sänker sin slöja och bäddar in husen Härden i värdshuset värmer och maten och krusen Där dansar han med den vilda De dansar som virvlar i ett vattenfall Fyllda av stolthet och vilja Dansar som virvlar i ett vattenfall Men rykten i stugorna sprids medan snöflingor faller Stjärnorna gnistrar mot isen som klara kristaller Där flyr han bort med den vilda Dom rusar som virvlar i ett vattenfall Fyllda av stolthet och vilja Rusar som virvlar i ett vattenfall Droskan försvinner i natten Och snön blir till drivor utmed vägens kant Hovslagen ekar bland bergen än Lekande sorglöst som ett vattenfall Natten den sänker sin slöja och suddar ut spåren Var de än är har de styrkan som forsen om våren Där dansar han med den vilda De dansar som virvlar i ett vattenfall Vilda av stolthet och vilja Dansar som virvlar i ett vattenfall

Sotto il tiglio là nella landa là dov'era il nostro letto voi che passate potete vedere come rompemmo fiori ed erba Davanti al bosco cantava l'usignolo e di fiori lei fece un giaciglio Riderà chi passi per di là guardate com'è rossa la sua bocca Sotto il tiglio là nella landa noi rompemmo fiori ed erba voi che passate potete vedere dove io posai la testa Se saprete che lei era con me questo non sarà certo mai vergogna era lei la donna che volevo per essere chiamato col mio nome Sotto il tiglio là nella landa la radica si abbraccia al giglio voi che passate potete vedere come son cresciuti insieme Lei con me rimase solo un anno ma con oro poi intrecciò le chiome e se ne andò, io amavo uno sparviero in alto si levò e volò via Sempre va a caccia di nubi il vento e non può mai fermarsi ma la bellezza è ancor più veloce troppo lento è per lei il vento Così è la nostra vita e il mondo come vento e nube fugge via

Sotto Le Lenzuola Composer(s): L. Beretta - Adriano Celentano - Mike DelPrete Performer(s): Adriano Celentano
Io l'altra notte l' ho tradita e so tornato alle cinque Pian piano sotto le lenzuola non la volevo svegliar ma l'abat-jour che è vicino a lei s'illuminò come gli occhi suoi lei mi guardo, io non parlai io non parlai e come Giuda la baciai ehi, ehi, ehi io non giocai quella notte a poker ma sono stato insieme alla sua amica Guardando me sembrava che lei mi leggesse la verità e con la mano accarezzandomi le labbra mi perdonava quel che lei non saprà mai Io amo lei, soltanto lei ma perché mai l'avrò tradita
La sera dopo sono uscito per fare il solito poker avrei voluto che venisse ma lei mi ha detto di no "vai pure, vai, io rimango qui gli amici tuoi son tutti la sveglia sarò quando verrai quando tu verrai" e poi mi disse sorridendo "ehi, ehi, ehi al poker sai, non si gioca in tre e non giocare più con la mia amica" Dagli occhi suoi cadeva giù un lacrimone tinto di blu e con la mano accarezzandole le labbra le dissi "grazie amore mio" e la baciai
Io amo lei, soltanto lei ma perché mai l'avrò tradita oh oh oh... Io amo lei, soltanto lei ma perché mai l'avrò tradita Io amo lei, soltanto lei ma perché mai l'avrò tradita
