Across The Borderline
Composer(s): Jim Dickinson - John Hiatt - Ry Cooder
First release by: Ry Cooder - 1987
Covered by multiple other artists



There's a land where I've been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just across the borderline
When it's time to take your turn
Here's a lesson that you must learn
You can lose more than you'll ever find

When you reach the broken promise land
Every dream slips through your hand
You'll know it's too late to change your mind
'Cause you paid the price to come to far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline

Up and down the Rio Grande
A thousand footprints in the sand
Reveal the secret no one can define
The river flows on like a breath
In between our life and death
Who's the next to cross the borderline

Hope remains when pride is gone
And it keeps you moving on
Calling you across the borderline

And you're still just across the borderline

We'll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again
Composer(s): Jeffrey Comanor
Performer(s): England Dan & John Ford Coley;
Deardorff & Joseph; Kerri Sherwood



Turn on the radio
We'll play it way down low
There's a tear in your eye 
That's reflecting the fire's glow
and I wish the night would never end
The sun ain't gonna be my friend
Lying here waiting and wishing I knew when

We'll never have to say goodbye again
We'll never have to say goodbye again

You must leave I know you will
I won't let you go until you show me
some secret for making this time stand still
And somewhere, sometime from now
Together again somehow
All of the waiting will seem like a moment and then

We'll never have to say goodbye again
We'll never have to say goodbye again

The whole night afraid to see the light
And the whole day cryin 
Wishin I knew when
We'll never have to say goodbye again
We'll never have to say goodbye again

And I wish the night would never end
The sun ain't gonna be my friend
We'll never have to say goodbye again
We'll never have to say goodbye again

Across The Board
Composer(s): Grace Slick
Performer(s): Grace Slick; Paul Kantner



Somebody aimed you when you were young
But nobody ever fired
Now you just sit there inside the gun
Bullet you're getting old and tired

If you want out - get out and get it all
I mean a fair trial is no trial at all
You're not guilty you can't even move without
A human hand
You can't cock yourself woman

You need a man

All the way you need him
All the way
All the way across the floor
Across the board

The man's only got one finger
He doesn't need anymore
He makes his way one prong down

All the way
All the way
All the way across the floor

Seven inches of pleasure
Seven inches going home
Somebody must have measured
All the way down the old bone

All the way
All the way
All the way
Down the old bone

We'll Meet Again
Composer(s): Albert Ross Parker; Hughie Charles
Performer(s): Vera Lynn;
and various other artists



We'll meet again 
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day
Keep smiling through, just like you always do
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away

So will you please say hello to the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go
I was singing this song

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day

So will you please say hello to the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go
I was singing this song

Keep smiling through, just like you always do
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away

Across The Alley From The Alamo
Composer(s): Joe Greene
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers



Across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Who sang a sort of Indian "Hi-de-ho"
To the people passin' by

The pinto spent his time a-swishin' flies
And the Navajo watched the lazy skies
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes
On the people passin' by

One day, they went a walkin' along the railroad track
They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot! Toot!, they never came back

Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the summer sun decides to settle low
A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho"
To the people passing by

Across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough
For the people passing by

They thought that they would make some easy bucks
By washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux
A pair of very conscientious clucks
To the people passin' by

Then they took this cheap vacation, their shoes were polished bright
No, they never heard the whistle, Toot! Toot! they're clear out of sight

Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the starlight beams its tender glow
The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough
For the people passin' by

One day, they went a walkin' along the railroad track
They were swishin' not a-lookin' 
Toot! Toot!, they never came back

Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the summer sun decides to settle low
A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho"
To the people passin' by

Across the alley from the Alamo

We'll Make Hay While The Sun Shines
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown; Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
Billy Merrin; Nick Langdon



Take me where the daisies
Cover the country lanes
We'll make hay while the sun shines
We'll make love when it rains

Take me where the song birds
Thrill you with sweet refrains
We'll make hay while the sun shines
We'll make love when it rains

From the hustle and the bustle of the city
We'll become a pair of country folks
In a little cottage sitting pretty
We'll be Mr. and Mrs. Doakes

Take me where the daisies
Cover the country lanes
We'll make hay while the sun shines
We'll make love when it rains

Across 110th Street
Composer(s): J.J. Johnson - Bobby Womack
Performer(s): Bobby Womack



I was the third brother of five
Doing whatever I had to do to survive
I'm not saying what I did was alright 
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day fight
Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind
I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester

Across 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak 
Across 110th Street 
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Across 110th Street
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street
Across 110th Street
You can find it all in the street

I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now 
Hey brother, there's a better way out
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man you're copping out
Take my advice, it's either live or die
You've got to be strong, if you want to survive

The family on the other side of town
Would catch hell without a ghetto around
In every city you find the same thing going down
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town

Across 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak 
Across 110th Street 
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Across 110th Street
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ouh baby 
Across 110th Street
You can find it all in the street
Yes he can, oh 

Look around you, just look around you
Look around you, look around you, uh yeah 

Well I Ask You
Composer(s): J. Worth
Performer(s): Eden Kane



Well I ask ya
What a way to treat a guy
What a way to cheat and lie
Because I wanted you

Well I ask ya
Did you have to beat me down
Did you have to go to town
And smash my world in two

Don't think you're gettin' away with it
You're gonna pay me some how
You cruelly wrecked my life
But oh, you want me now

Oh Baby, just you ask me
Get down on your knees and try
I won't break till I see you cry
Like me when I asked you

Alright...

Don't think you're gettin' away with it
You're gonna pay me some how
You cruelly wrecked my life
But oh, you want me now

Just you ask me
Get down on your knees and try
I won't break till I see you cry
Like me when I asked you

Well I ask ya
Well I ask ya
Well I ask ya
Well I .....

Acropolis Adieu
Composer(s): Christian Bruhn - Georg Buschor
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu



Ce soir le vent vient de la mer
Septembre est là, l'été s'en va
Et le bonheur est éphémère
Comme les fleurs qui meurent déjà...

Acropolis adieu, adieu l'amour
Les roses blanches d'Athénée se sont fanées
On s'est aimés quelques jours
Acropolis adieu!

Ce soir c'est notre dernier soir
Demain matin je partirai
Tu resteras dans ma mémoire
Comme un bonheur comme un regret

Acropolis adieu, adieu l'amour
Les roses blanches d'Athénée se sont fanées
On s'est aimés quelques jours
Acropolis adieu!

Acropolis adieu!...........

We'll Gather Lilacs
Composer(s): Ivor Novello
Performer(s): Ivor Novello;
and various other artists



We'll gather lilacs in the spring again
And walk together down an English lane
Until our hearts have learned to sing again
When you come home once more

And in the evening by the firelight's glow
You'll hold me close and never let me go
Your eyes will tell me all I need to know
When you come home once more

We'll gather lilacs in the spring again
And walk together down an English lane
Until our hearts have learned to sing again
When you come home once more

And in the evening by the firelight's glow
You'll hold me tight and never let me go
Your eyes will tell me all I want to know
When you come home once more

When you come home once more
When you come home once more

Acres Wild
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Michal Hromek



I'll make love to you
in all good places
under black mountains
in open spaces
By deep brown rivers
that slither darkly
through far marches
where the blue hare races

Come with me to the Winged Isle 
northern father's western child
Where the dance of ages is playing still
through far marches of acres wild

I'll make love to you
in narrow side streets
with shuttered windows
crumbling chimneys

Come with me to the weary town 
discos silent under tiles
that slide from roof-tops, scatter softly
on concrete marches of acres wild

By red bricks pointed
with cement fingers
Flaking damply from sagging shoulders

Come with me to the Winged Isle 
northern father's western child
Where the dance of ages is playing still
through far marches of acres wild

Well Did You Evah? 
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Frank Sinatra



Have you heard? 
The coast of Maine just got caught in a hurricane? 
Well did you evah? 
What a swell party this is! 

Have you heard that poor dear Blanche got run down by an avalanche? 
Well, did you evah? 
What a swell party this is! 

What daiquiris! 
What sherry, please! 
What burgundy! 
What pommery! 

Have you heard? 
Professor Munch ate his wife and divorced his lunch? 
Well, did you evah? 
What a swell party this is! 

Misses Smith in her new Hup crossed the bridge when the bridge was up
Well, did you evah? 
What a swell part this is! 

What brandy, wow! 
What whiskey, here's how! 
What gin and what beer, will you sober up, dear?

Acres Of Clams
Composer(s): Charlie King
Performer(s): Pete Seeger



I've wandered all over this country
Prospecting and digging for gold
I've tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled
And I nearly froze in the cold
And I nearly froze in the cold
And I nearly froze in the cold
I've tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled
And I nearly froze in the cold

For one who got wealthy by mining
I saw many hundreds get poor
I made up my mind to go digging
For something a little more sure
For something a little more sure
For something a little more sure
I made up my mind to go digging
For something a little more sure

I rolled up my grub in my blanket
I left all my tools on the ground
I started one morning to shank it
For the country they call Puget Sound
For the country they call Puget Sound
For the country they call Puget Sound
I started one morning to shank it
For the country they call Puget Sound

No longer a slave of ambition
I laugh at the world and its shams
And I think of my happy condition
Surrounded by Acres of Clams
Surrounded by Acres of Clams
Surrounded by Acres of Clams
And I think of my happy condition
Surrounded by Acres of Clams

We'll Be Together Again 
Composer(s): Carl Fischer; Frankie Laine
Performer(s): Frankie Laine;
and various other artists



Here in a moment of darkness 
remember the sun has shone 
Laugh, and the world will laugh with you 
Cry, and you'll cry alone 

No tears, no fears 
Remember, there's always tomorrow 
So what if we have to part 
We'll be together again 
Your kiss, your smile 
are memories I'll treasure forever 
so try thinking with your heart 
We'll be together again 
Times when I know you'll be lonesome 
times when I know you'll be sad 
don't let temptation surround you 
don't let the blues make you bad 
Some day, some way 
we both have a lifetime before us 
for parting is not goodbye 
We'll be together again

Acquerello
Performer(s): Toquinho



Sopra un foglio di carta lo vedi il sole è giallo
ma se piove due segni di biro ti danno un ombrello
Gli alberi non sono altro che fiaschi di vino girati
se ci metti due tipi là sotto saranno ubriachi
l' erba è sempre verde e se vedi un punto lontano
non ci scappa è il buon Dio o è un gabbiano e va

Verso il mare a volare ed il mare è tutto blu
e una nave a navigare ha una vela non di più
ma sott'acqua i pesci sanno dove andare
dove gli pare non dove vuoi tu

Ed il cielo sta a guardare ed il cielo è sempre blu
c'è un aereo lassù in alto e l'aereo scende giù
c'è chi a terra lo saluta con la mano
va piano piano fuori da un bar, chissà dove va

Sopra un foglio di carta lo vedi chi viaggia in treno
sono tre buoni amici che mangiano e parlano piano
da un'America all'altra è uno scherzo ci vuole un secondo
basta fare un bel cerchio ed ecco che hai tutto il mondo
Un ragazzo cammina cammina arriva ad un muro
chiude gli occhi un momento e davanti si vede il futuro già

E il futuro è un'astronave che non ha tempo nè pietà
va su Marte va dove vuole niente mai sai la fermerà
Se ci viene incontro non fa rumore
non chiede amore e non ne da

Continuiamo a suonare, lavorare in città
noi che abbiamo un pò paura, ma la paura passerà
Siamo tutti in ballo siamo sul più bello
in un acquerello che scolorirà, che scolorirà

Sopra un foglio di carta lo vedi il sole è giallo
ma se piove due segni di biro ti danno un ombrello
basta fare un bel cerchio ed ecco che hai tutto il mondo

We'll Be Together
Composer(s): Charles O'Curran; Dudley Brooks
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Oh, I will never forget the first night we met
T'was love I was searching for
My heart beat faster and faster, oh, so much faster
Faster than it did before

Juntos estaremos siempre por siempre
Junto a mi corazo'n siempre estara's
We'll be together, and love forever
Nothing can change our destiny

I knew the moment I kissed you, couldn't resist you
Together we belong
And then I knew in that moment just what this glow meant
Real love had come along

We'll be together, ever and ever
Close to my heart you'll always be
We'll be together, and love forever
Nothing can change our destiny

Acqua E Sale
Composer(s): Giovanni Donzelli - Vincenzo Leomporro
Performer(s): Mina & Adriano Celentano; Audio Two



Semplici e un po' banali
io direi quasi prevedibili e sempre uguali
sono fatti tutti così
gli uomini e l'amore
come vedi tanti aggettivi
che si incollano su di noi
dai che non siamo poi cattivi
Tu non sei niente male
parli bene e mi sorprendi quando tiri forte
la tua moto dal motore che sento truccato
e va bene guidi tu che sei brava più di me
e io attendo che sia amore, sai
Ma io sono con te ogni giorno
perché di te ho bisogno
non voglio più
acqua e sale
mi fai bere
con un colpo mi trattieni il bicchiere
mi fai male
puoi godere se mi vedi in un angolo ore
ed ore
ore piene
come un lago
che se piove un po' di meno è uno stagno
vorrei dire...
non conviene...
sono io a pagare amore e tutte le pene
Vedi divertirsi fa bene
sento che mi rido dentro e questo non mi conviene
c'è qualcosa che non va non so dirti cosa
è la tua moto che sta giù
che vorrei guidare io
o meglio averti qui vicino a me?
Ma io sono con te ogni giorno...

We'll Be The Same
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart



The sun may rise and shine at night
Birds swim, and fish take flight
Heigh-ho, it's still all right
We'll be the same

They may have thirteen months in the year
Nations may disappear
Heigh-ho, no need to fear
We'll be the same

Though Hollywood's screenless
Boston beanless
And the sea turns into land
The country may tumble
I won't grumble
I'll be holding your hand

Though love no longer is in style
Heigh-ho, we'll only smile
We've got that flame
We'll be the same

Acqua Azzurra, Acqua Chiara
Composer(s): Mogol - Lucio Battisti
First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Ogni notte ritornar per cercarla in qualche bar
domandare "Ciao che fai?"
e poi uscire insieme a lei
Ma da quando ci sei tu, tutto questo non c'è più

Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara
con le mani posso finalmente bere
nei tuoi occhi innocenti posso ancora ritrovare
il profumo di un amore puro
puro come il tuo amor

Ti telefono se vuoi, non so ancora se c'è lui
accidenti che farò quattro amici troverò
ma da quando ci sei tu
tutto questo non c'è più

Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara
con le mani posso finalmente bere
Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara...

Son le quattro e mezza ormai
non ho voglia di dormir
a quest'ora cosa vuoi, mi va bene pure lei
ma da quando ci sei tu tutto questo non c'è più

Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara......
Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara......
