Le giraffe dal lungo, lungo collo
sopra gli alberi bruciano la vita
nel silenzio, la pace più assoluta
uno sparo e l'aria è lacerata
Un bambino è spaventato
stringe l'arma con forza tra le dita
Una scimmia da lontano
alza il capo incuriosita...

I leoni sdraiati lì nell'ombra
siamo in tanti
con i cuccioli giocano a graffiarsi già
innocenti
paradiso di vita, naturale
siamo in tanti
uno sparo e un grido che fa male
obbedienti
un bambino è spaventato
senza amore
stringe l'arma con forza tra le dita
senza guida
e la gente da lontano
com'è ingiusta
abbassa gli occhi un'altra volta piangendo
questa sfida
e quel sole non si nasconde mai
le capanne là
e quel sole impietoso sopra noi
desolate ma
dov'e l'acqua? Alziamo gli occhi in su
nel cuore tanta libertà
ma vediamo sempre e solo blu
no la fame non ci ha sconfitto mai
quegli occhi vivi
solo l'odio può farci male ormai
e luccicanti che
tu fratello sei un lago senza pesci
han bisogno anche di te
tu fratello perché non mi conosci?

In questa immensità
siamo in tanti
quanti delitti non si sa
innocenti
si respira l'amore
siamo in tanti
si respira il dolore
No, non abbiamo mai visto la neve
siamo già contenti quando piove
donne belle e dolci come il miele
il sudore sulle labbra sa di sale
e quel sole non si nasconde mai
Le capanne là
e quel sole impietoso sopra noi
desolate ma
dov'è l'acqua? Alziamo gli occhi in su
nel cuore tanta libertà
ma vediamo sempre e solo blu
no la fame non ci ha sconfitto mai
quegli occhi vivi
solo l'odio può farci male ormai
e luccicanti che
tu fratello sei un lago senza pesci
han bisogno anche di te
tu fratello perché non mi conosci?

What Good Am I Without You?
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Don Rodney
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



I'm like a song that no one sings
I'm like a bird without its wings
I'm like a star that fell from the sky
What good am I without you?

Where is the sun that used to shine?
Where is the one who once was mine?
Aimless am I, like clouds drifting by
What good am I without you?

You are the very breath I take7     
The every wish and prayer I make
You are so much a part of me
You'll always be the very heart of me

How can I live without you near
When I'm so mad about you dear
How can I laugh when I want to cry
What good am I without you, Darling
What good am I without you?.

Afraid To Fall In Love
Composer(s): Ralph Blane - Harry Warren
Performer(s): Mickey Rooney & Gloria DeHaven



(He:) 
Since the day that Mister Noah put together things
Many furry, many finny, many feather things
Have endured because they knew the way to weather things
There were rules to be obeyed

That's the way we're made
Why should anybody be afraid?
They all had lovers the world discovers
This danger hovers when spring uncovers
It's natch'ral to feel this feeling you feel
But fears were doomed to fade
That's the way we're made
Why should anybody be afraid?
Love is something you acquire, there's much to learn of it

No astrologer you hire can tell the turn of it
If you fiddle with the fire, you risk the burn of it
What you learn may disconcert you
But it isn't gonna hurt you
So you mustn't be afraid to fall in love

(She:) 
In a book of love, and I have read through all of it
There's a chapter there referring to the call of it

Juliet and Cleopatra knew the fall of it
But the poison vial and asp
Really made me gasp
Maybe that's the reason I'm afraid
They all lie sleeping 'cause love came sweeping
No way of keeping their hearts from weeping
If you say, "Why feel this feeling I feel?"
Until they find a cure
I'll avoid the lure

Maybe that's the reason I'm afraid
So it seems that love is fatal as I've read of it
Maybe that's the reason why I have a dread of it
Oh, there must be something else to do instead of it
When my very own dear mother said
There're times she wished that she were dead
No, I'm afraid I mustn't fall in love

(He:) 
Oh, I'm afraid you're still afraid

(She:) 
Not really

(He:) 
Yes, you're afraid to fall, to fall in love

What Good Am I
Composer(s): Kenny Lynch; Mort Shuman
Performer(s): Cilla Black



Once I used to turn away
I never hear a word you'd say
Suddenly your words run true

I started to believe in you
Now I love you but you are gone
There's nothing left to build upon
In a world I never know
I thought I could depend on you
For Love
Come to you for love

You could make a day for me
Seem like a year of Ecstasy
Every moment spent apart
Was like a sword thrust through my heart
I hought our love would grow and grow
But all that seems so long ago
Were you just to blind to see that
You were more than life to me

For What Good Am I....

Afraid To Dream
Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel
Performer(s): Benny Goodman 
and multiple other artists



Afraid to dream, afraid that you may not be there
Afraid to dream, without you it would seem so bare
With open arms I call to you, I want you, dear
Just as I reach for you, why do you disappear?
Afraid to dream; I'll see you there with someone new
Afraid to find another one caressing you
Although you promised me that this could never be
It's the thought of losing you that makes me so afraid to dream

What Goes Up Must Come Down
Composer(s): Rube Bloom; Ted Koehler
Performer(s): Cyril Grantham;
and various other artists



You leave me alone, you don’t even phone
You’re carefree as a bird in the sky
But what goes up must come down
And, Baby, you’ve been flying too high

It’s all over town, you’re chasing around
But I’m not gonna sit home and cry
Remember what goes up must come down
And, Baby, you’ve been flying too high

You ought to get your walkin’ papers
But now it’s too late
Because I know you too well
When you’re through cuttin’ capers
You break down my gate
To ring my front door bell

So go have your fling, and don’t miss a thing
I’ll see you down to earth by and by
Remember what goes up must come down
And, Baby, you’ve been flying too high

Afraid To Care
Composer(s): Jack Greene - Kenna Campbell
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Here I go again 
Love's standing at my door
I'm so afraid to take a chance
For I've been hurt before

It's not that I can't love you 
Your life I'd like to share
But my heart's been broken so many times
It's just afraid to care

Maybe time will ease the pain 
And someday I can love again
My heart can't stand a new affair
It's loved and lost so many times
It's just afraid to care

Maybe time will ease the pain 
And someday I can love again
My heart can't stand a new affair
It's loved and lost so many times
It's just afraid to care

What Goes On Here In My Heart?
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Betty Grable;
and various other artists



What goes on here in my heart?
All this bumpin' and thumpin' and jumpin'
When I see you

What goes on here when we part?
It keeps bumpin' and thumpin' and jumpin'
The whole night through

It will stop awhile, so quiet and then
If you happen to smile
There's a riot again

What goes on here in my heart, Dear
Could this bumpin' and thumpin' and jumpin'
Be love

Afraid Of Tomorrow
Composer(s): Gary Moore
Performer(s): Gary Moore



All of our destinies written within us
No more of falling for the world's biggest lie
Are you so jealous of the wind and her freedom?
Nothing can stop you now
Live in your dreams

Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Are we afraid of tomorrow?

Crossing the wilderness, finding the treasure
Buried within yourself all you desire
Soul of the world can see all you are feeling
Heeding the wise man's words, all things are one

Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Are we afraid of tomorrow?

Mmah, ah

All of our destinies written within us
No more of falling for the world's biggest lie
Are you still jealous of the wind and her freedom?
Nothing can stop you now, so live in your dreams

Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Are we afraid of tomorrow?

Afraid of tomorrow
Afraid of tomorrow

Oh, afraid
Oh, oh afraid
Oh, afraid

What Goes On
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground



What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am upside down
Lady, be good, and do what you should
you know it'll work allright
Lady, be good, do what you should
you know it'll be alright

I'm goin' up, and I'm goin' down
I'm gonna fly from side to side
See the bells, up in the sky
Somebody's cut the string in two
Lady, be good, and do what you should
you know it'll work alright
Lady, be good, do what you should
you know it'll be alright

One minute one, one minute two
One minute up and one minute down
What goes on here in your mind?
I think that I am falling down
Lady, be good, and do what you should
you know it'll work alright
Lady, be good, do what you should
you know it'll be alright

Afraid Of Love
Composer(s): Steve Lukather - David Paich - Jeff Porcaro
Performer(s): Toto; Joyce Randolph



You stole my heart the moment you came to town
I said hello but you were gone when I turned around
You can't get away, can't get away, even if you try now
I wanna tell you but the words just can't be found
I like the way you move and just the way you are
I can't take anymore, 'cos girl, you're pushin' too hard
You can't get away, can't let you go, what's a boy to do now
You got me askin' myself how I survived this far
I gotta get away from you, girl
'Cos I've never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Never thought a girl could make me feel the way you do
Never been afraid of - never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Ooh, yes you say
Can't be something that you never ever had
When I stop and think about you, it makes me laugh
You took me by surprise, I saw it in your eyes, I never had a chance, girl
Now that I see what you are, it doesn't hurt so bad
I gotta get away from you, girl
'Cos I've never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Never thought a girl could make me feel the way you do
Never been afraid of - never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Ooh, yes you say

What God Wants 
Composer(s): Roger Waters
Performer(s): Roger Waters



What God wants God gets 
God help us all
What God wants God gets
The kid in the corner looked at the priest
And fingered his pale blue Japanese guitar
The priest said
God wants goodness
God wants light
God wants mayhem
God wants a clean fight
What God wants God gets
Don't look so surprised
It's only dogma
The alien prophet cried
The beetle and the springbok
Took the Bible from its hook
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the lesson in his book
What God wants God gets God help us all
God wants peace
God wants war
God wants famine
God wants chain stores
What God wants God gets
God wants sedition
God wants sex
God wants freedom
God wants semtex
What God wants God gets
Don't look so surprised
I'm only joking
The alien comic cried
The jackass and hyena
Took the feather from its hook
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the joke down in his book
What God wants God gets
God wants boarders
God wants crack
God wants rainfall
God wants wetbacks
What God wants God gets
God wants voodoo
God wants shrines
God wants law
God wants organised crime
God wants crusade
God wants jihad
God wants good
God wants bad
What God wants God gets

Afraid

Performer(s): Nico



Cease to know or to tell
Or to see or to be your own
Cease to know or to tell
Or to see or to be your own
Have someone else's will as your own
Have someone else's will as your own

You are beautiful and you are alone
You are beautiful and you are alone

Often the adolescent plague
Reward your grace
Often the adolescent plague
Reward your grace

Confuse your hunger capture the fake
Confuse your hunger capture the fake

Banish the faceless reward your grace
Banish the faceless reward your grace

What Does The Pussycat Mean When She Says "Meow"?
Composer(s): Pease; Granlund; Nelson
Performer(s): Margaret Young



I went to school, and then I went to college
Learned every rule, that's how I got my knowledge
But now I'm puzzled, and always up a tree
Won't someone please tell me

What does the pussy cat mean when she says, "Meow"?
What does the little dog mean when he says, "Bow-wow"?
I know that hay means horses
And that marriage means divorces
But what does the pussy cat mean when she says "Meow"?

I know that church means Sunday, and that Friday means a fish
I know that wash means Monday, and a platter means a dish
I know a boy means mister, and a girlie means a miss
When her lip touches his lips, I know it means a kiss
A baby means a rattle; a barrel means a keg
And when a chicken cackles, it means she's laid an egg
I know that green means Irish, and that Irish means a cop
Limburger means a Zeppelin, and spaghetti means a wop

What does the pussy cat mean when she says "Meow"?
What does the little dog mean when he says "Bow-wow"?
I know that Heinz means pickles
And I know a feather tickles
But what does the pussy cat mean when she says, "Meow"?

Afghanistan
Composer(s): William Wilander - Harry Donnelly



In the land of Afghanistan 
There's a Hindu maid and a man
She swore by the stars up above her 
That he was the one to love her 
But there came another one day 
Stole his Hindu maiden away
Hindu man is lonely and blue 
In his dreams he's calling to her

All the wealth of Afghanistan 
Cannot ease the heart of this man 
Tho' the stars with splendor are shining 
Hindu's heart can't stop it's pining 
Though he's trying hard to forget 
He has hopes and dreams of her yet
Thinking that she'll come back some say 
To his idol he keeps praying

In Afghanistan
There's a Caravan 
By the fair oasis waiting for you and for you only
Cross the desert sand we will find a temple
There will be a bridal day for you my idol 
In Afghanistan

Afghan Woman
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): Tyrannosaurus Rex



Afghan Woman, deemed a princess 
Born a true blue thoroughbred
Head a chiselled face of fables 
Omen of no ill 

Hills that spread around your chamber 
Blooms that twine around your ears 
Blossoms of the royalest texture 
Angel of the years 

Clad in sacks and scraps of linen 
Living 'neath your waterwell 
Praying that my youthly pauper's face 
Will quench you well 

Gazelle girl striding through your palace 
Precious jewels nestle in your hair 
Rameses born with platinum future 
Take my heart and care 

What Does It Take
Composer(s): James Van Heusen; Johnny Burke
Performer(s): Nat King Cole




It takes an earthquake to move a mountain
It takes the typhoon to churn up the sea
But what does it take to make you take to me?
It takes a heatwave to melt an iceberg
It takes a blossom to bother a bee
But what does it take to make you take to me?
You could have your way
You could have the moon
Anything you say, only say it soon
When you're around it takes the feather to knock me over
It takes the nitwit to tell you I'm free
Cuz, baby I'm just your humble servant making his fervent plea
What does it take to make you take to me?
You could have your way
You could have the moon
Anything you say, only say it soon
When you're around it takes the feather to knock me over
It takes the nitwit to tell you I'm free
Cuz, baby I'm just your humble servant making his fervent plea
What does it take to make you take to me?

Affida Una Lacrima Al Vento
((French & German Versions: 
Une Larme Aux Nuages (by Salvatore Adamo); Es Geht Eine Träne Auf Reisen (by Salvatore Adamo))
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo 
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Affida una lacrima al vento
e fa che la porti da me
il vento mi ha detto stai attento
la tua bella non pensa più a te

Affida una lacrima al vento
e nel cielo per me brillerà
e com'una pioggia d'argento
il tuo amore mi riporterà

Il vento non mi vuol più parlar di te
piange però non mi vuol dir perché
ma indovino tristi cose
scritte con le spine delle rose

Affida una lacrima al vento
vedrai che di gioia ballerà
da te volerà in un momento
dei miei baci ti coprirà

Affida una lacrima al vento
e nel deserto un fiore spunterà
sarà un miraggio lo sento
ma sarà bello e ci credo già

Affida una lacrima al vento
e fa che la porti da me
il vento mi ha detto stai attento
la tua bella non pensa più a te
la tua bella non pensa più a te
la tua bella non pensa più a te

What Does He Look Like
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Frances Langford




Johnny Doughboy overseas filled with pride and joy
Stopping everyone he meets and shouting "It's a boy"
What does he look like, that boy of mine?
Since the news came I can't get him off my mind
Does he resemble his homely dad?
Does he look like the girl that I left behind?
Bring on the Germans
And bring on the Japs
Bring on the first who you can find
One for the rascal I haven't seen
And one for the girl that I left behind
