    ((Adapted from: All You Need Is Love (The Beatles) - 1967))
    Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Mogol
    Performer(s): I Soliti Ignoti - 1967



    Looove looove loove
    Looove looove loove
    Looove looove loove

    Non c'e' nulla che tu possa fare mai
    Che tu un giorno non farai
    Nulla che tu possa mai creare o non crear
    Tu cerchi

    Non c'e' nulla di quel che tu adesso sai
    Che non si sia saputo mai
    Nulla che tu possa mai vedere o dimostrar
    Tu cerchi

    Cerchi solo amor
    Cerchi solo amor
    Cerchi solo amor, sai
    Questo solo vuoi

    Cerchi solo amor
    Cerchi solo amor
    Cerchi solo amor, sai
    Questo solo vuoi

    Non c'e un posto in cui dovresti star
    Che non sia gia' il posto dove sei
    Nulla che tu possa mai cantare o non cantar
    Tu cerchi

    Cerchi solo amor
    Cerchi solo amor
    Cerchi solo amor, oh
    Cerchi solo amor

    Willow Weep For Me Composer(s): Ann Ronell First release by: Ted Fio Rito & His Orch. - 1932 Covered by multiple other artists



    Willow weep for me Willow weep for me Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea Listen to my plea Hear me willow and weep for me Gone my lovers dream Lovely summer dream Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream Sad as I can be Hear me willow and weep for me Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan Murmur to the night to hide its starry light So none will see me sighing and crying all alone Weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me Oh, Weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me

    All You Get From Love Is A Love Song
    Composer(s): Steve Eaton
    Performer(s): The Carpenters



    Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere
    Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze
    As season fly I knew that I was losing
    Love was washed away with the driftin' tide

    Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song
    It's gotcha layin' up nights waiting for the music to start
    It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
    Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart

    Now the tears in my eyes are ever blindin'
    The future that lies before me I cannot see
    Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
    Lightin' up the world for everyone, but not for me

    I read her letters
    And I saw her picture
    And I smelled her cheap perfume, hmm
    It must have come from you

    How could you touch her
    Lay down beside her
    Well, there just ain't no excuse
    You shouldn't have been so loose

    I saw the telephone bill
    You must be out of your mind
    If you think you can smooth it over
    Then you're wasting your time

    Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
    'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
    And I guess I can go on although I must admit
    I've been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time

    You're such a liar
    You took her and her children
    Out for the afternoon
    While I was sittin' waitin' on you

    How could you do it
    You should've been here with me
    You just couldn't do it
    You had to be in the streets, uh

    Well, I heard through the grapevine
    You've been messin' around
    When you thought you were gettin' over
    That's when my baby I found, oh...
    Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
    'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time (You really hurt me)
    And I guess I can go on although I must admit
    I've been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time

    I gave my heart, gave my time
    Gave my soul 'cause love was blind
    I can't explain this poor excuse
    Of a man of a boy who was born to lose

    I paid the rent, washed your clothes
    Cooked your food and I only God knows
    Only God knows why I stay with you
    I guess (Guess I) I'm in love

    Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
    (Oh, baby, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love)
    'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
    (Ooh, you really hurt me this time, baby)
    And I guess I can go on although I must admit (Although I must admit)
    I've been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time
    (I'm gonna mess around some time)

    I gave my heart, gave my time
    Gave my soul 'cause love was blind
    I can't explain this poor excuse
    Of a man of a boy who was born to lose

    I've been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time

    I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget

    Hello, hello
    Is there anyone?

    A thousand hearts, a million miles of dreams and thoughts of you
    All right
    It's been a long time [comin'/gettin'] to you
    All right
    I'm a-comin' for you, well
    All we need, we need is a dream
    All we neeed is a night
    All we need is a night to call our own
    All we need, we need is a dream
    All we need is one night
    All we need is a dream to call our own
    All we need...
    Hello, hello
    It's for everyone
    That you know who needs someone
    To help you make it through

    I can't eat in the morning
    I can't sleep through the night
    I walk the floor and beg for more
    Gimme 'n itty bitty, I'm a-willing and a-ready
    Can't walk in the moonlight
    I can't talk when your near
    I'm so upset, I'm in a sweat
    Gimme 'n itty bitty, I'm a-willing and a-ready
    I'm a cool candidate
    For matrimony baby
    But I just can't afford a ring
    I'm gonna save all my loot
    My lovin' to boot
    I'll make the wedding bells go ding-a-ling-a-ling
    Well, I want your lovin' for breakfast
    A great big hug for lunch
    I walk the line, just say you're mine
    Gimme 'n itty bitty, I'm a-willing and a-ready

    All we ever wanted was everything
    All we ever got was cold
    Get up, eat jelly
    Sandwich bars, and barbed wire
    Squash every week into a day

    The sound of drums is calling
    The sound of the drum has called
    Flash of youth shoot out of darkness
    Factorytown

    Oh to be the cream

    I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
    I'm drunk and dirty, don't ya know
    And I'm still, oh I'm still

    Out on the road late at night
    I seen my pretty Alice in every head light
    Alice, Dallas Alice

    And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonapah
    Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
    Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
    And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
    And you show me a sign
    I'll be willin', to be movin'

    I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet
    Had my head stoved in but I'm still on my feet
    And I'm still

    Smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico
    Baked by the sun, every time I go to Mexico
    And I'm still

    I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonapah
    Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
    Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
    And if you give me: weed, whites, and wine
    and you show me a sign
    I'll be willin', to be movin'

    Performer(s): Rough Trade



    I pushed her tense face away from me
    I pushed her tense face away from me
    The hard smile the voice going on like a razor blade on glass
    All touch but no contact
    It hit me like it hit me like
    It hit me like a slap
    All touch and no contact

    I pushed his hand away from me
    I pushed his hand away from me
    Splintering fragments of conversation
    Never got down to cold hard facts
    All touch but no contact
    It stabbed me like it stabbed me like
    It stabbed me like
    A knife in the back
    All touch and no contact

    Tense my body for the final attack
    All touch and no contact

    I pushed her tense face away from me
    I pushed her tense face away from me
    The hard smile the voice going on like a razor blade on glass
    All touch but no contact
    It hit me like it hit me like
    It hit me like a slap
    All touch and no contact

    Challenging eyes over the rim of a cocktail glass
    Hoping I'd react
    All touch but no contact

    Willie, Waylon And Me
    Composer(s): David Allan Coe
    Performer(s): David Allan Coe



    I'd heard The Burritos out in California
    could fly higher than The Byrds
    Roger McGuinn had a 12 string guitar
    It was like nothing I'd ever heard
    And The Eagles flew in from the west coast
    Like The Byrds they were trying to be free
    While in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
    Like Willie and Waylon and me.

    Hey!
    Well they say Texas music is in the make
    And we've been making music that is free
    Doing one night stands and playing with our bands
    Willie, Waylon and me

    Oh Mad Dog!

    They say The Beatles were just the beginning
    of everything music could be
    Just like The Stones I was rolling along
    Like a ship lost out on the sea
    And Joplin would die for the future
    And Dylan would write poetry
    And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
    Like Willie and Waylon and me

    Hey!
    My name is David Allen Coe and I'm from Dallas Texas
    They say Texas music is in the make
    And we've been making music that is free
    Doing one night stands and playing with our bands
    Willie, Waylon and me

    Big Jim!

    I'd heard The Burritos out in California
    could fly higher than The Byrds
    Roger McGuinn had a 12 string guitar
    It was like nothing I'd ever heard

    All too soon
    We had to part
    The moment you had touched my heart
    And with you went my dream
    All too soon

    All too sweet
    Was our affair
    And you put all the sweetness there
    What a shame that it's gone
    All too soon

    I knew the strange delights
    That only you in love could bring
    And as I reached the heights
    The bottom fell from everything

    You should know as well as I
    Our love deserves another try
    For we whispered goodbye
    All too soon
    Too soon

    Composer(s): Lou Reed
    First release by: The Velvet Underground & Nico - 1967
    Covered by multiple other artists



    And what costume shall the poor girl wear
    To all tomorrow's parties
    A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
    To all tomorrow's parties
    And where will she go and what shall she do
    When midnight comes around
    She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
    And cry behind the door

    And what costume shall the poor girl wear
    To all tomorrow's parties
    Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
    To all tomorrow's parties

    And what will she do with Thursday's rags
    When Monday comes around
    She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
    And cry behind the door

    And what costume shall the poor girl wear
    To all tomorrow's parties
    For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
    For whom none will go mourning

    A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
    Of rags and silks, a costume
    Fit for one who sits and cries
    For all tomorrow's parties

    Willie And The Hand Jive
    Composer(s): Johnny Otis
    Performer(s): Johnny Otis



    I know a cat named way out Willie
    He got a cool little chick named rockin' Millie
    He can dance and stroll and Susie-Q
    Do that crazy hand jive too

    Papa told Willie you'll ruin my home
    Say you and that hand jive just got to go
    Willie told Papa don't put me down
    Doing that hand jive all over town

    Chorus
    Hand jive
    Hand jive
    Doing that crazy hand jive

    Mama, mama look at Uncle Joe
    He's doing that hand jive with sister Flo
    And grandma gave baby sister a dime
    Do that hand jive just one more time

    Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief
    Lord, they all digging that crazy beat
    Way out Willie gives them all a treat
    Lord he's doing that hand jive with his feet

    Willie and Lily got married last fall
    They had a little Willie Junior, and that ain't all
    The kid got famous in his crib, you see
    Lord he's doing that hand jive on TV

    All Together
    Composer(s): Miles Rudge - Ted Dick
    Performer(s): Anthony Newley



    It goes all together, with a pum tiddle liddle
    Can't think whether there's a pum in the middle
    Once you've heard it you'll sing it all day long
    What a lovely song! Hang on a mo--

    It goes all together, and it -- no, wait a minute
    Can't think whether there's a pum tiddle in it
    What a pity, I've forgotten it because
    You'd love it, I know, if I knew what it was

    The bit in the middle is kind of sort of
    More like a waltz gone wrong.
    A singable song of the sort that we're short of
    As soon as I begin
    You'll want to join in

    It goes all together, but there's no use in going
    Hell for leather, when there's no way of knowing
    Even whether I'm singing it all wrong
    So hang on a mo--
    While I have a go
    At sorting out this simple yet very unforgettable song.

    The fella what sung it was kind of, sort of
    More or less drunk with song
    Long in the hair, it was breath he was short of
    As soon as I heard it I knew every word
    Of this song that I heard

    It goes all together with a pum tiddle liddle
    Can't think whether there's a pum in the middle
    Words were clever, what a lovely song
    No, hang on a mo--
    I remember every part of it
    Oh, let yourself go
    And we'll do it from the start of it
    Now, all together, we're getting in the mood
    No, hang on a mo--
    It's rude!

    William Tell
    Composer(s): Gioacchino Rossini; Harold Purcell
    Performer(s): David Whitfield



    Come away, come away with William Tell
    Come away to the land he loved so well
    What a day, what a day when the apple fell
    For Tell and Switzerland

    Come away with Tell to the mountainside
    Looking down to the pass where the tyrants ride
    Set a bolt to your bow and down they go
    For Tell and Switzerland

    We are simple peasant folk
    We will not fell a foreign yoke
    Our freedom song will echo on
    We’ll fight for what is right

    Hurry on, hurry on there’s a pungent cell
    Hurry on, hurry on there’s a noose as well
    What we must face from the jaws of hell
    For Tell and Switzerland

    We lived our lives, we loved our friends
    We never wanted more
    We had the skill to plough and till
    But not the art of war
    But now the tyrant from the plains
    Steals up to take our lands
    Instead of spade we wield the blade
    Our life is in our hands

    Follow on, follow on with the leaders feel
    With a thrust of a pike and a clash of steel
    Follow on with the fight till the tyrants reel
    For Tell and Switzerland

    Give ‘em one for the day they bared the grain
    Give ‘em two for the night that Fritz was slain
    Give ‘em three, give ‘em four and hooray for more
    For Tell and Switzerland

    The shepherd’s crook, the reaping hook
    Has taken on a warlike look
    With blades we’ve beaten from the plough
    We reap a harvest now.

    Come away, come away with William Tell
    Come away to the land he loved so well
    Fit a bolt to your bow, and away we go
    For Te-e-e-ell, and Switzerland

    All Time High
    ((Dutch Version: Alsof Ik Zweef (by Liliane Saint-Pierre) - 1998))
    Composer(s): John Barry - Tim Rice
    First release by: Rita Coolidge - 1983
    Covered by multiple other artists



    All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two
    Had no intention to do the things we've done
    Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find
    But then we're two of a kind, we move as one

    We're an all time high, we'll change all that's gone before
    Doing so much more than falling in love
    On an all time high, we'll take on the world and wait
    So hold on tight, let the flight begin

    I don't want to waste a waking moment, I don't want to sleep
    I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you
    In my time I've said these words before, but now I realiz
    My heart was telling me lies, for you they're true

    We're an all time high, we'll change all that's gone before ...
    So hold on tight, let the flight begin
    We're an all time high

    William Burke's Execution
    (Traditional)



    Let old and young unto my song
    A while attention pay
    The news I'll tell will please you well
    The monster Burke's away
    At the head of Libberton Wynd
    He finished his career
    There's few, I'm sure, rich or poor
    For him would shed a tear

    Chorus:
    Now Burke, the murderer, is dead
    His troubles here are o'er
    We can't tell where his spririt's fled
    He'll Burke the folk no more

    Eighteen hundred and twenty nine
    Let it recorded be
    Twenty eight day of January
    He suffer'd on a tree
    To Edinbro', numbers did go
    That day before 'twas noon
    For to see Burke, that cruel Turk
    Receive his awful doom

    They brought him from Calton Jail
    Some time in the night
    They thought the crowd would do the job
    Had they waited till light
    From the Lock-up they brought Burke
    Out about the hour of eight
    Where about forty-thousand folk
    Impatiently did wait

    The injur'd crowd, they groan'd aloud
    This monster to behold
    Who in his time had thought no crime
    To murder young and old
    When the scaffold he did ascend
    The people all did cry
    Bring out Will Hare, we think it fair
    That he should also die

    As round his neck the rope it went
    The shouts did rend the sky
    It's "Burke him, Burke him," the bloodhound
    The people all did cry
    The shouts they did continue on
    Until he was cut down
    The like was never heard before
    In Edinbro' town

    His bloody den, it does remain
    For strangers to behold
    Where him and Hare, they did not spare
    The lives of young or old
    In memory his bones will be
    Preserved for years to come
    Ye Burkites! now beware, lest you
    Do meet with the same doom

    Chorus
