Wind Of Change Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb Performer(s): Bee Gees
In the streets of New York City ev'ry man can feel the cold And I don't want no pity but I want my story told
When the lights shine down on me they shine on the little boy Is this way to make him pay be'ng born in a world of joy
But like me he don't know where he'll go wrong he won't cry so many tears till he finds out why he don't belong like me
there's no room for us out there you can lose your hope and pride When it comes to broken dreams you'll get your share Sometime a man breaks down and the good thing he is looking for are crushed into the ground
Get on up, look around can't you feel the wind of change? Get on up, taste the air can't you see the wind of change
Don't you understand what I'm sayin' we need a god down there A man to lead us children take us from the valley of fear
Make the lights shine down on us show us the road to go Help us survive, make us arrive teach us what we need to know
But like me he don't know where he'll go wrong he won't cry so many tears till he finds out why he don't belong like me
there's no room for us out there you can lose your hope and pride When it comes to broken dreams you'll get your share Sometime a man breaks down and the good thing he is looking for are crushed into the ground
Get on up, look around can't you feel the wind of change? Get on up, taste the air can't you see the wind of change
Wind Beneath My Wings Composer(s): Larry Henley; Jeff Silbar Performer(s): Bette Midler; and various other artists
It must have been cold there in my shadow To never have sunlight on your face You were content to let me shine, that's your way You always walked a step behind So I was the one with all the glory While you were the one with all the strength A beautiful face without a name, for so long A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Did you ever know that you're my hero And everything I would like to be If I can fly higher than an eagle You are the wind beneath my wings It might have appeared to go unnoticed but I've got it all here in my heart I want you to know I know the truth Of course I know it I would be nothing with out you
Fly, fly, fly away You let me fly so high Oh, fly, fly So high against the sky So high I almost touch the sky Thank you, thank you, thank God for you The wind beneath my wings
Alla Mia Età Composer(s): Rossi - Robifer Performer(s): Rita Pavone
Alla mia età si incomincia a capir l'amore si incomincia a cercar con chi poter sognar... Alla mia età si finisce così di giocar si incomincia pian piano a parlar con la voce del cuor... Anche per me è arrivata così questa età ho capito cos'è la realtà di un pensiero d'amor... Alla mia età si incomincia a capir l'amore si incomincia a cercar con chi poter sognar...

Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò E venne il toro, che bevve l'acqua, che spense il fuoco che bruciò il bastone, che picchiò il cane che morse il gatto, che si mangiò il topo che al mercato mio padre comprò
Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò E venne il macellaio, che uccise il toro, che bevve l'acqua che spense il fuoco, che bruciò il bastone, che picchiò il cane che morse il gatto, che si mangiò il topo che al mercato mio padre comprò
Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò E l'angelo della morte, sul macellaio, che uccise il toro, che bevve l'acqua che spense il fuoco, che bruciò il bastone, che picchiò il cane che morse il gatto, che si mangiò il topo che al mercato mio padre comprò

Win Your Love (For Me) Composer(s): Sam Cooke Performer(s): Sam Cooke; and various other artists
Wo oh oh oh little girl, how happy I would be If some miracle could win your love for me
Chorus: Wo oh oh oh little girl, how happy I would be If some miracle could win your love for me Win your love for me Win your love for me Wo oh oh oh wo win your love for me
Many's the day I've longed for you, to hold you in my arms Many's the night I've cried for you, for your many charms If you'd only come to me, my heart wouldn't be full of sorrow But now all I can do is hope & pray that you'll come to me tomorrow
(chorus)
To me you are so beautiful, beautiful as a song And whenever I look at you, my heart beat like a tom-tom If you'd only come to me, this torch I wouldn't have to carry And if everything goes right, to the church we will go to marry

They will give you what you need They will run your life They will get you where they want to On the cross you'll die Oh, what a game a fair frame Consumed into a single flame
When you're blind When you're kind The future and the reasons Will they change the seasons?
The law has made it very clear Save your breath for the next try They will try you with fanatic threats To make you sigh Oh, what a game a fair frame Consumed into a single flame
When you're blind When you're kind The future and the reasons Will they change the seasons?
They want your face for a magazine They want my voice for their fears I want the world's news to be A different truth in different ears What a game a fair frame Consumed into a single flame
When you're blind When you're kind The future and the reasons They won't change the seasons

Me, I hope that I'm crazy I feel you driving and you're only the wheel Slow down, let some-one love you Oww, I've never touched you since I started to feel If there's nothing to hide me, then you've never seen me hanging naked and wired Somebody lied, but I say it's hip to be alive

All You Pretty Girls Composer(s): Andy Partridge Performer(s): XTC
Do something for me, boys If I should die at sea, boys Write a little note, boys Set it off afloat, saying
Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls Village and city girls by the quayside Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls Watching and waiting by the sea
Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls Quiet or witty girls by the quayside Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls Watching and waiting by the sea
I think about your pale arms waving When I see the caps upon the green And the rocking roller-coaster ocean Think about you every night when I'm fathoms asleep And in my dreams We are rocking in a similar motion
I think about the salt sea rolling Down in pearly tears upon your cheeks Just like the day the harbour pulled away I think about your warm white sheets unfolding The more I have to drink The more that I can think to say

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
