Are You Certain? Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin - Sol Marcus Performer(s): Sarah Vaughan; Jean Shepherd; The Collins Kids
Are you certain when you say you care Do you love me with some love to spare I'm gonna ease right out of a one-sided love affair So be certain when you say you care
Are you certain, will your lips be true Do you need me just as I need you Don't wanna lose my heart and wind up all alone and blue So be certain that your lips are true So be certain that your lips are true
Different Drum
Composer(s): Michael Nesmith
First release by: The Greenbriar Boys - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Well you and I Travel to the beat of a different drum Can't you tell By the way I run Every time you make eyes at me
Yes, you cry and moan And say it'll work out But honey child I've got my doubts You can't see the forest For the trees
Now don't get me wrong It's not that I knock it It's just that I am not in the market For a girl Who wants to love Only me And I'm not saying that you ain't pretty All's I saying's that I'm not ready For any person place or thing To try and pull the reins In on me
Well I feel pretty sure That you'll find a man Who will take a lot more than I ever could Or can And you'll settle down with him And I know That you'll be happy
So goodbye I'm a-leavin' I see no sense in you cryin And grievin' We'll both live a lot longer If you live without me Babe
"Aw go red"
Well I feel pretty sure That you'll find a man Who will take a lot more than I ever could Or can And you'll settle down with him And I know And you'll be happy
So goodbye I'm a-leavin' I see no sense in you cryin And grievin' We'll both live a lot longer If you live without me Babe
If you live without me woman Woo If you live without me
I'm your little boy, I'm your little boy Every day, whatever I do Even then when I'm bad and so wicked Still my love is forever for you
I'm your little boy, just your little boy When you met my toil pet sweeps my shoes And I love all the games we are playing Even then when you win and I lose
I'm your little boy, just your little boy Every night in my bed I will pray Don't let anything happen to mama 'Cause I can't sleep without her a day
Lalala...
Yes, whatever I do and wherever I go I'll be thinking of you And you can be sure I'll always love you Because you're the best mama in the whole world
I'm your little boy, I'm your little boy All my life I shall sing it and new Even then when your hair will be silvery 'Cause my love is forever for you
Dieu S'il Existe Composer(s): Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Au ciel de qui se moque-t-on? Était-ce utile qu'un orage Vînt au pays de Jeanneton Mettre à mal son beau pâturage? Pour ses brebis, pour ses moutons Plus une plante fourragère Rien d'épargné que le chardon! Dieu, s'il existe, il exagère Il exagère
Et là-dessus, méchant, glouton Et pas pour un sou bucolique Vers le troupeau de Jeanneton Le loup sortant du bois rapplique Sans laisser même un rogaton Tout il croque, tout il digère Au ciel de qui se moque-t-on? Dieu, s'il existe, il exagère Il exagère
Et là-dessus le Corydon Le promis de la pastourelle Laquelle allait au grand pardon Rêver d'amours intemporelles Au ciel de qui se moque-t-on? Suivit la cuisse plus légère Et plus belle d'une goton Dieu, s'il existe, il exagère Il exagère
Adieu les prairies, les moutons Et les beaux jours de la bergère Au ciel de qui se moque-t-on? Ferait-on de folles enchères? Quand il grêle sur le persil C'est bête et méchant, je suggère Qu'on en parle au prochain concile Dieu, s'il existe, il exagère Il exagère

Dieu Seul

Composer(s): Gary Lynes - Beverly Guthrie - Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Dalida
Dieu seul Pourrait me dire Quand tout, quand tout semble fini Pourquoi il veut détruire Les curs qu'ils a unis Pourquoi Parmi des milles C'est toi Que j'ai trouvé Pourtant dans la grande île Il y en avait tant à aimer
Dieu seul Pourrait me dire Combien D'autres aurores L'amour qui nous déchire Verra chanter nos corps Mais Dieu Sais t-il lui même La haut La haut si loin Pourquoi c'est toi que j'aime Et que j'aimerai Jusqu'à la fin

Are You A Dream? Composer(s): Peggy Lee Performer(s): Alan Young
Are you a dream, or was it really you? Were we really here, did my dream come true? I cant be happy now, till you belong to me Why did you fade away? Never my love to be
Was I awake, I cant believe its true? But once long ago you were the love I knew Can it be possible youve gone away? Or were you a dream I dreamed one day? You touched me, I felt your touch You must be real, I care so much Come back to me, tell me its true Tell me youre not a dream, tell me its you
Diese Welt Ist Ein Jahrmarkt Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Diese Welt ist ein Jahrmarkt, nur ein lärmender Jahrmarkt du darfst ruhig mal weinen, in der Maske stört's keinen Ob es leicht oder schwer ist, Tasche voll oder leer ist muß der Seiltänzer schweben auf dem Jahrmarkt des Lebens
Du bist ins Licht gesprungen mit einem Hoffnungsschrei doch rasch ist er verklungen, die Kindheit schon vorbei Dann heißt es überleben, an Ketten jeden Traum wenn sie den Vorhang heben, verbeugst du dich als Clown
Diese Welt ist ein Jahrmarkt...
Du möchtest selber denken, und mußt doch bald erleben die Dummheit wird dich lenken und dir das Stichwort geben Ein Hampelmann an Fäden, so tanzt du auf und nieder und wiederholst die Reden der andern immer wieder

Are you feelin' the same way Thinkin' 'bout me everyday? Do you hurt the way that I do Baby, I'm in love with you
When I'm sleepin' by myself at night (Sleepin' alone)
Without you it just don't feel right Do you know what I mean Are we dreamin' the same dream?
Knew when I saw you Deep down in my heart Everything I'm feeling Was right there from the start

Are you feelin' the same way Thinkin' 'bout me everyday? It hurt the way I do Baby, I'm in love with you
And when I'm sleepin' by myself at night (Sleepin' alone) Without you it just don't feel right (Without you it don't feel right) Do you know what I mean Are we dreamin' the same dream?

Dieci Ragazze
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Mogol
First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1969
Ho visto un uomo che moriva per amore ne ho visto un altro che più lacrime non ha Nessun coltello mai ti può ferir di più di un grande amore che ti stringe il cuor
Dieci ragazze per me posson bastare dieci ragazze per me voglio dimenticare capelli biondi daccarezzare e labbra rosse sulle quali morire Dieci ragazze per me solo per me
Una la voglio perché sa bene ballare Una la voglio perché ancor non sa cosa vuol dir l'amore Una soltanto perché ha conosciuto tutti tranne me Dieci ragazze così che dicon solo di sì
Vorrei sapere chi ha detto che non vivo più senza te Matto quello è proprio matto perché forse non sa che posso averne una per il giorno una per la sera però quel matto mi conosce perché ha detto una cosa vera
Dieci ragazze per me posson bastare dieci ragazze per me voglio dimenticare capelli biondi daccarezzare e labbra rosse sulle quali morire Dieci ragazze così che dicon solo di sì
Vorrei sapere chi ha detto ecc. ecc.
Dieci ragazze per me dieci ragazze per me dieci ragazze per me però io muoio per te però io muoio per te...
Are There Any More Real Cowboys? Composer(s): Neil Young Performer(s): Willie Nelson & Neil Young
N: Are there any more real cowboys N: Left out in these hills N: Will the fire hit the iron one more time N: And will one more dusty pick-up N: Come rolling down the road N: With a load of feed before the sun gets high N: Well, I hope that working cowboy never dies
W: Not the one that's snortin' cocaine W: When the honky-tonk's all closed W: But the one that prays for more rain, heaven knows W: That the good feed brings the money W: And the money buys the clothes W: Not the diamond sequins shining on TV W: But the kind the working cowboy really needs
Both: Are there any more country families Both: Still working hand in hand Both: Trying hard to stay together and make a stand Both: While the rows and rows of houses Both: Come creepin' up on the land Both: Where the cattle graze and an old gray barn still stands Both: Are there any more real cowboys in this land Both: Are there any more real cowboys in this land
Die Welt Ist Neu

((French Version: Je Suis Heureuse (Mireille Mathieu) - 1982))
Composer(s): Composer(s): David Shire - Carol Conners - M. Kunze
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu - 1981
So bunt sind die Lichter und so freundlich die Gesichter Nichts mehr ist so, wie es war Die Welt ist neu Ich seh' Blumen blühen seh' die weißen Wolken ziehen Jeder Tag ist hell und klar Die Welt ist neu
Ich kam aus der Nacht du warst der Tag Ich war müd' und schwach Du machst mich stark
Die Angst ist vorüber und es drückt mich nichts mehr nieder Seit du da bist, bin ich frei Die Welt ist neu Staunend merke ich, die Welt ist neu
Es flüstert der Regen und der Wind (blaßt?) mir entgegen Und die Sonne streichelt mich Die Welt ist neu Die Straßen sind breiter und der Himmel so viel weiter Und was war, vergesse ich Die Welt ist neu
Ich kam aus der Nacht du warst der Tag Ich war müd' und schwach Du machst mich stark
Ich fühl' mich geborgen wie an einem Sommermorgen Seit du da bist, bin ich frei Die Welt ist neu Staunend merke ich, die Welt ist neu
Nina, Pretty Ballerina Composer(s): Benny Andersson - Björn Ulvaeus First release by: Björn & Benny - Agnetha & Frida - 1973
Every day in the morning on her way to the office You can see as she catches a train Just a face among a million faces Just another woman with no name Not the girl you'd remember but she's still something special If you knew her I am sure you'd agree 'Cause I know she's got a little secret Friday evening she turns out to be...
Nina, pretty ballerina Now she is the queen of the dancing floor This is the moment she's waited for Just like Cinderella (just like Cinderella) Nina, pretty ballerina Who would ever think she could be this way This is the part that she likes to play But she knows the fun would go away If she would play it every day
So she's back every morning to her work at the office And another week to live in a dream And another row of early mornings In an almost never-ending stream Doesn't talk very often, kind of shy and uncertain Everybody seems to think she's a bore But they wouldn't know her little secret What her Friday night would have in store...
Nina, pretty ballerina Now she is the queen of the dancing floor This is the moment she's waited for Just like Cinderella (just like Cinderella) Nina, pretty ballerina Who would ever think she could be this way This is the part that she likes to play She would like to play it every day
Nina, pretty ballerina Now she is the queen of the dancing floor This is the moment she's waited for Just like Cinderella (just like Cinderella) Nina, pretty ballerina Who would ever think she could be this way This is the part that she likes to play ...
