Late In The Evening Composer(s): Paul Simon First release by: Paul Simon - 1980
The first thing I remember, I was lying in my bed I couldn't've been no more than one or two And I remember there's a radio, coming from the room next door My mother laughed the way some ladies' do
Well it's late in the evening, and the music's seeping through
The next thing I remember, I am walking down a street I'm feeling alright I'm with my boys and with my troops, yeah Down along the avenue some guys were shootin' pool And I heard the sound of acapella groups, yeah
Singin' late in the evening, and all the girls out on the stoops, yeah
Then I learned to play some lead guitar, I was underage in this funky bar And I stepped outside to smoke myself a J When I come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play
It was late in the evening, and I blew that room away
First thing I remember when you came into my life I said I wanna get that girl, no matter what I do Well I guess I've been in love before and once or twice have been on the floor But I've never loved no-one the way that I love you
..and I love you
And it was late in the evening, and all the music's seeping through
Dark As A Dungeon Composer(s): Merle Travis Originally performed by: Merle Travis Covered by various other artists
It's as dark as a dungeon way down in the mine...
I never will forget one time when I was on a little visit down home in Ebenezer, Kentucky I was a-talkin' to an old man that had known me ever since the day I was born and an old friend of the family He says, "Son, you don't know how lucky you are to have a nice job like you've got and don't have to dig out a livin' from under these old hills and hollers like me and your pappy used to" When I asked him why he never had left and tried some other kind of work he says, "Nawsir, you just won't do that If ever you get this old coal dust in your blood you're just gonna be a plain old coal miner as long as you live" He went on to say, "It's a habit (Chuckle) sorta like chewin' tobaccer"
Come and listen you fellows, so young and so fine And seek not your fortune in the dark, dreary mines. It will form as a habit and seep in your soul 'Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal
Chorus: It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew Where danger is double and pleasures are few Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine It's a-many a man I have seen in my day Who lived just to labor his whole life away Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine A man will have lust for the lure of the mines
I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll My body will blacken and turn into coal Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home And pity the miner a-diggin' my bones
Additional Verse: The midnight, the morning, or the middle of day Is the same to the miner who labors away Where the demons of death often come by surprise One fall of the slate and you're buried alive

Darby O'Leary (Traditional) Performer(s): The Dubliners
One evening of late as I happened to stray To the County Tipperary I straight took my way To dig the potatoes and work by the day for a farmer called Darby O'Leary
I asked him how far we were bound for to go The night being dark and the cold wind did blow I was hungry and tired and my spirits were low for I got neither whiskey nor water
The dirty old miser he mounted his steed To the Galbally mountains he rode in great speed I followed behind 'til my poor feet did bleed when we stopped when his old horse was weary
When we came to his cottage I entered it first it seemed like a kennel or a ruined old church Says I to myself I am left in the lurch in the house of old Darby O'Leary
I well recollect it was Michalmass night To a hearty good supper he did me invite A cup of sour milk that was more green than white And it gave me the trotting disorder
The wet old potatoes would poison the cats And the barn where my bed was was swarming with rats The fleas would have frightened the fearless St. Pat who banished the snakes o'er the border
He worked me by day and he worked me by night while he held an old candle to give me some light I wished his potatoes would die of the blight or himself would go off with the fairies
It was on this old miser I looked with a frown When the straw was brought in for to make my shakedown And I wished I had never seen him nor his town nor the sky above Darby O'Leary
I've worked in Kilconnel, I've worked in Killmore I worked in Knoockannie and Shamballamore In Kalisanaker and Sollahed Moore with farmers so decent and cheery
I've worked in Tipperary, the Rag and Ross Green At the mount of Killfegal, the Bridge of Orleans But such woeful starvation I never yet seen As I got from old Darby O'Leary
Italianen Composer(s): Raymond Van Het Groenewoud Performer(s): Raymond Van Het Groenewoud
Italianen Hebben zin voor melodie Hare Krishna, Traviata, Napoli
Italianen Blondjes blijven zij niet af Onnozel fluiten, Italianen zijn te maf
Italianen Aan honderd blablabla per uur Schone schoenen, zeer veel stijl Maar geen caruur
Italianen Laffe kaffers bij de vleet Met de meisjes veel proberen, zelden beet
Vertrouw geen Italianen Ze knoeien met conserven Ze steken er van alles in Ze lullen van amore Maar laat ze ouwehoeren Een Italiaan is ons te min Italianen
O die Italianen, ze zitten vol van charme Aiaiai bella ragazza, quando viagga O die Italianen, claxons met veel alarmen O die Italianen, wat zijn ze toch romantisch Amore, quanta sepolta ...
Maar jongens van stavast Die vind je slechts hier in deze Lage Landen Waar het altijd zeikt en waar ik trouwens Zo vlug mogelijk weg wil Naar de Provence waar ik in een Witte villa wil wonen enzovoort enzovoort
Italianen Veel bravoure op de markt
Italianen Ach het is een volk apart
Italianen Temperatuurvol als dat heet Maar die rakkers zijn toch verre van compleet
Vertrouw geen Italianen, ze stelen uit je wagen In liegen zijn ze eerste prijs Ze willen je verleiden maar slechts voor korte tijd En ze maken je van alles wijs
Vertrouw geen Italianen Ze willen je bedotten Ze steken er van alles in Ze lullen van amore Maar laat ze ouwehoeren Een Italiaan is ons te min Italianen
Dar Es Dar Composer(s): Fito Paez; Carlos Villavicencio Performer(s): Fito Paez

Dapple Rose Composer(s): Lea James; Don Powell Performer(s): Slade
Once kept in a stable snug and warm But now he's growing old in open fields he's forced to go He often stands in hail, rain, freezing snow He's certain that his master doesn't mean him any harm
Chorus Dapple Rose he doesn't want you anymore Times gone by you will remember Dapple Rose you are cold and old and slow Times gone by you will remember His clothing was a shiny coat so fine But now he's growing old and his beauty does decay One night he heard his master frown and say No poor old bones could stand this life of mine
Chorus Dapple Rose he doesn't want you anymore Times gone by you will remember Dapple Rose you are cold and old and slow Times gone by you will remember
His food was of the best corn and best hay But now there's no such thing and he hardly eats at all He lives on sprouts that grow behind the wall I doubt if he'll be lucky to last another day
Chorus Dapple Rose he doesn't want you anymore Times gone by you will remember Dapple Rose you are cold and old and slow Times gone by you will remember Don't feel so bad, feel so sad No more wearing shiny glory now they hang upon the wall The hall in some far gone manor Not a soul realises your a Dapple Rose of fame
Andrea ((German Version: Andrea (by Peter Alexander) - 1979)) Composer(s): Massimo Bubola - Fabrizio De André First release by: Fabrizio De André - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists
Andrea s'è perso s'è perso e non sa tornare Andrea s'è perso s'è perso e non sarà tornare Andrea aveva un amore Riccioli neri Andrea aveva un dolore Riccioli neri
C'era scritto sul foglio ch'era morto sulla bandiera C'era scritto e la firma era d'oro era firma di re
Ucciso sui monti di Trento dalla mitraglia Ucciso sui monti di Trento dalla mitraglia
Occhi di bosco contadino del regno profilo francese Occhi di bosco soldato del regno profilo francese E Andrea l'ha perso ha perso l'amore la perla più rara E Andrea ha in bocca un dolore la perla più scura
Andrea raccoglieva violette ai bordi del pozzo Andrea gettava Riccioli neri nel cerchio del pozzo Il secchio gli disse - Signore il pozzo è profondo più fondo del fondo degli occhi della Notte del Pianto
Lui disse - Mi basta mi basta che sia più profondo di me Lui disse - Mi basta mi basta che sia più profondo di me

Material Girl Composer(s): Peter Brown - Robert S. Rans First release by: Madonna - 1984 Covered by multiple other artists
Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me I think they're O.K. If they don't give me proper credit I just walk away
They can beg and they can plead But they can't see the light, that's right 'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are
Living in a material world And I am a material girl You know that we are living in a material world And I am a material girl
Some boys romance, some boys slow dance That's all right with me If they can't raise my interest then I Have to let them be
Some boys try and some boys lie but I don't let them play Only boys who save their pennies Make my rainy day, 'cause they are
Living in a material world And I am a material girl You know that we are living in a material world And I am a material girl
Living in a material world [material] Living in a material world (repeat)
Boys may come and boys may go And that's all right you see Experience has made me rich And now they're after me, 'cause everybody's
Living in a material world And I am a material girl You know that we are living in a material world And I am a material girl
A material, a material, a material, a material world
Living in a material world [material] Living in a material world (repeat)
Danza Composer(s): P. Dossena; M. Goldsand; A. Tamborelli Performer(s): Dalida
Chiudo gli occhi e sogno, come stai Dai rimani ancora, qui con me Ma in amore non si puo Ritornare indietro no Oh lacrime e sorrisi, su di noi Lasciano sul viso, un segno in più Le stagioni vanno via ma il mio cuore no
Continua la sua danza Con rabbia e con speranza E ancora non si stanca La forza non gli manca Su dai ragazzo danza E illumina la stanza L'amore é un sentimento Che nasce in un momento
Nasce un nuovo amore, come stai E ti senti ancora, cosi giovane Ti ubriachi di allegria e di questa vita mia
Continna la sua danza Con rabbia e con speranza L'amore é un sentimento Che soffia come il vento
Ora ti sorrido Amore mio Ti accarezzo il viso Si andiamo via Se hai paura non lo so Ma il mio cuore no
Continua la sua danza Con rabbia e con speranza E ancora non si stanca La forza non gli manca Su dai ragazzo danza E illumina la stanza L'amore é un sentimento Che nasce in un momento
Continua la sua danza Con rabbia e con speranza E ancora non si stanca La forza non gli manca
