Anche Un Uomo Composer(s): Anselmo Genovese - Mike Bongiorno - Dina Tosi - Ludovico Peregrini First performance/First release by: Mina - 1979
Ragazza mia ti spiego gli uomini ti servirà quando li adopererai son tanto fragili, fragili tu maneggiali con cura fatti di briciole, briciole che l'orgoglio tiene su ragazza mia sei bella e giovane ma pagherai ogni cosa che otterrai devi essere forte ma forte perché dipenderà da te tu sei l'amore il calore che avrà la vita che vivrai anche un uomo può sempre avere un'anima ma non credere che l'userà per capire te anche un uomo può essere dolcissimo specialmente se al mondo oramai gli resti solo tu Ragazza mia adesso sai com'è quell'uomo che mi porti via e vuoi per te
Listen Betty (I'm Singing Your Song) Composer(s): Tom T. Hall Performer(s): Dave Dudley
A friend and I made one shot run to Knoxville one day We got the apple pie and coffee hungries on the way We pulled into a little truckstop just outside of town Pretty soon the waitress came around She said my name is Betty and I'd know you anywhere I'd like to have a minute of your time if you don't care Would you sing a song about me and the waitresses you've met About the broken promises we get Now listen Betty I'm singing your song about the drivers that have done you wrong All I wanna do is lay the blame where it belongs listen Betty I'm singing your song
There's a broken heart for every truckstop on the right There's a lonesome driver for each passing set of lights Now I can't tell you how to love or tell you how to live all I can do is tell it like it is There's a million waitresses all up and down the line I've seen some that were laughin' and I've seen some that were cryin' I've left some that were happy and I've left some that were blue If you're a waitress here's a song for you Now listen Betty...
The highway is a part of hell that never caught on fire The driver is the kinda man that devil wouldn't hire That's what you're sayin' Betty but you can't stand the heat Quit that job and let those drivers be Now listen Betty... Now listen Betty...

Anche Per Te Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Mogol First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
Per te che è ancora notte già prepari il tuo caffè che ti vesti senza più guardar lo specchio dietro te che poi entri in chiesa e preghi piano e intanto pensi al mondo ormai per te così lontano
Per te che di mattina torni a casa tua perché per strada più nessuno ha freddo e cerca più di te per te che metti i soldi accanto a lui che dorme e aggiungi ancora un po' d'amore a chi non sa che farne
Anche per te, vorrei morire ed io morir non so anche per te, darei qualcosa che non ho e così, e così, e così io resto qui a darle i miei pensieri, a darle quel che ieri avrei affidato al vento, cercando di raggiungere chi... al vento avrebbe detto sì
Per te che di mattina svegli il tuo bambino e poi lo vesti lo accompagni a scuola e al tuo lavoro vai per te che un errore ti è costato tanto che tremi nel guardare un uomo e vivi di rimpianto
Dancing In The Starlight Composer(s): Matt Clifford; Mick Jagger Performer(s): Mick Jagger
I was tossing and a turning Like as ship out in the storm And I could not feel the spirit There was nothing there at all And I could not dial the number And I could not make the call
Dancing in the starlight Dancing in the strangest forms And I could not feel the spirit Was a thousand miles off course
Stumbling in the twilight There was no one there at all I was groping in the darkness Seeing dangers in the port Tortured into silence My back against the wall
Dancing in the starlight Swirling in the walls Just like Venus on the ocean The figures on the wall
If you don't take risks If you don't take a chance You're bound to fall Oh yeah sugar You will surely fall
Crying for salvation There was nothing there at all I could not dial the number And I could not make the call
Dancing in the starlight The figures on the wall You will surely fall Dancing in the starlight You will surely fall You will surely fall
Anastasia Composer(s): Herb Newman - Paul F. Webster Performer(s): Pat Boone
Anastasia, tell me who you are Are you someone from another star Anastasia, are you what you seem Do your sad eyes remember a dream
Why do you tremble and why do you sigh Could you be lonely as lonely as I Will you remember when summer has flown Another world, a world that is yours alone
Anastasia, smile away the past Anastasia, spring is here at last Beautiful stranger step down from your star I only know I love you so, whoever you are
Anastasia, Anastasia Beautiful stranger step down from your star I only know I love you so, whoever you are
Analyse Time Composer(s): Rossi - Brown Performer(s): Status Quo
I still remember when I would be the only one I used to think that I'd be a darlin' boy Never worried 'bout bad times, only wanted those good times
And then it took a nasty turn and you became the strangest one And now I look back, I didn't help at all Falling over my own feet, always taking that back seat, oh no
Hold on, it's analyse time again What's wrong? so talk it out with a friend How long before you want me again
We had our bad days but never thought that we would fall Into the same trap that other people do We were gonna be perfect, we were gonna be magic
Before we knew it there were cracks appearing in the photograph It was a time bomb, a-ticking all the while We were gonna be lovers, now we're running for cover, oh no
Hold on, it's analyse time again What's wrong? so talk it out with a friend How long before you want me again?
Calm down and get your feet on the ground Come round, we're on the same side of town Fall down, d'you want to call it an end Hold on, it's analyse time again
We gotta put it on the straight and narrow 'fore we fall apart We gotta get down and do it on our own Never worried 'bout bad times, always looking at good times, good times
Hold on, it's analyse time again What's wrong? so talk it out with a friend How long before you want me again? Calm down and get your feet on the ground Come round, we're on the same side of town Fall down, d'you want to call it an end Hold on, it's analyse time again
Yeah, analyse time again It's analyse time again It's analyse time again It's analyse time again

Goodnight sweetheart, tomorrow's another day Til then, sweet dreams sweetheart Goodnight, sleep tight, I'll see you along the way In dreams, sweet dreams sweetheart May angels up above watch over you And keep you safe my love, until the dawn breaks through Goodnight, sleep tight, tomorrow's another day Til then, sweet dreams sweetheart
Dancing In The Dark Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; Howard Dietz Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and various other artists
Dancing in the dark Till the tune end Were dancing in the dark And it soon ends Were waltzing in the wonder Of why were here Time hurries by Were here and gone Looking for the light Of a new love To brighten up the night I have you to love And we can face the music together Dancing in the dark
What though love is old? What though song is old? Through them we can be young Hear this heart of mine Make yours part of mine Dear one, tell me that were one! Dancing in the dark!
Sweet dreams, my love Angels watching from above While the Sandman fills your eyes With sweet dreams, my love and goodnight
Sweet dreams, my love Listen to the little dove Singing you a lullaby Sweet dreams, my love and goodnight
While the stars are glowing Like candles in the blue Close your eyes, my darling I will dream of you, my darling
Sweet dreams, my love Angels watching from above While the Sandman fills your eyes With sweet dreams, my love and goodnight
While the stars are glowing Like candles in the blue Close your eyes, my darling I will dream of you, my darling
Sweet dreams, my love Angels watching from above While the Sandman fills your eyes With sweet dreams, my love and goodnight Sweet dreams, my love and goodnight Wooh-oooh-oooh ...
Dancing Days Composer(s): Jimmy Page; Robert Plant Originally performed by: Led Zeppelin Covered by various other artists
Dancing days are here again As the summer evenings grow I got my flower, I got my power I got a woman who knows
I said it's all right You know it's all right I guess it's all in my heart You'll be my only, my one and only Is that the way it should start?
Crazy ways are evident In the way you're wearing your clothes Sippin' booze is precedent As the evening starts to glow
You know it's all right I said it's all right You know it's all in my heart You'll be my only, my one and only Is that the way it should start? Dude!
You told your mamma I'd get you home But you didn't say that I had no car I saw a lion he was standing alone With a tadpole in a jar
You know it's all right I said it's all right I guess it's all in my heart heart heart You'll be my only my one and only Is that the way it should start?
Dancing days are here again As the summer evenings grow You are my flower, you are my power baby You are my woman who knows
I said it's all right You know it's all right I know it's all in my heart You'll be my only yes, my one and only yes Is that the way it should start? I know it is yeah!
