Indian Wedding Composer(s): Roy Orbison Performer(s): Roy Orbison
There once was an Indian brave by the name of Yellow Hand He fell in love with a maiden known as White Sand They vowed their love would last for ever more then came the day that they had waited for
Yellow Hand brought her a golden feather White Sand said a prayer for good weather the ceremonial dance grew loud and strong then Yellow Hand began their wedding song
Tonight, Tonight we will be one we'll walk in the land of the midnight sun Oh White Sand, come hold my lonely hand
Then they left the warmth of the wedding fire rode into the hills, climbing higher and suddenly the snow came swirling down they were lost, the trail could not be found
Tonight, Tonight we will be one, we'll walk in the land of the midnight sun Oh White Sand, come hold my lonely hand
They never returned from paradise and they went to their places in the skies and the old ones still say when the snow flakes fly if you listen close you will hear him cry
Tonight, Tonight we will be one we'll walk in the land of the midnight sun Oh White Sand, come hold my lonely hand
Indian Summer Composer(s): Al Dubin; Victor Herbert Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey
Summer, you old Indian Summer You're the tear that comes after June time's laughter You see so many dreams that don't come true Dreams we fashioned when Summertime was new You are here to watch over Some heart that is broken By a word that somebody left unspoken You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray Fading too soon, that's why I say "Farewell to you Indian Summer"
Indian Summer Composer(s): Larry Gatlin Performer(s): Roy Orbison
Sun has descended, faded above summer has ended, ended our love Whispering shadows sigh It's time that we said goodbye It's Indian Summer, the leaves are beginning to fall It's Indian Summer, and that means the end of it all We wandered through clover, we reached for the moon and now it's all over, so soon, so soon The Sun fades away in the west The swallows are ready to start The last one is leaving his nest The way that you're leaving my heart I just can't believe we're though I just can't believe it of you Is Indian Summer my winter of love?
Nessun Dolore Composer(s): Lucia Battisti; Mogol Performer(s): Lucio Battisti; Car-men; Giorgia; Mina
Tu mi sembri un po' stupita, perché rimango qui indifferente come se tu non avessi parlato, quasi come se tu non avessi detto niente ti sei innamorata, cosa c'è cosa c'è che non va, io dovrei perciò soffrire da adesso per ragioni ovvie di orgoglio e di sesso e invece niente no, non sento niente no nessun dolore non c'è tensione non c'è emozione, nessun dolore, no oh! oh! oh! quando eri indecisa combattuta fra l'abbracciare me o la vita ti ricordi i miei silenzi pesanti che tu credevi gelosia per inesistenti amanti allora già intuivo che c'era qualcosa che mi sfuggiva quella fragile eterea coerenza di bambino senza troppa pazienza non sento niente no, adesso niente no nessun dolore, non c'è tensione non c'è emozione, nessun dolore nessun dolore, non c'è tensione non c'è emozione, nessun dolore il vetro non è rotto da un sasso, ma dal braccio esperto di un ingenuo gradasso, l'applauso per sentirsi importante, senza domandarsi per quale gente tutte le occhiate maliziose che davi eran semi sparsi al vento qualcosa che perdevi e mi inaridivi e mi inaridivi e mi inaridivi non sento niente no, adesso niente no nessun dolore, non c'è tensione non c'è emozione, nessun dolore nessun dolore, non c'è tensione non c'è emozione, nessun dolore
Indian Song Composer(s): Hoyt Axton Performer(s): Hoyt Axton
First came the wagons, then came the trains They drove the Indians off of the plains Then came the white man with his fences an' sheep Tore up the ground where the Great Spirit sleeps
My Grandfather Borin was a North Texas man He was a cowboy, he loved the land He fathered nine children an' he raised six more And his Daddy fought in our first Civil War
My Grandmother Axton was part Cherokee She kept it a secret from Daddy an' me For someone had told her in her early childhood "You better not mention your Indian blood"
Washington Bureau of Indian Affairs Yeah, the white man loves money, he didn't care About starving people an' dying came slow Now they have all followed the wild buffalo
Nervous Shakedown Composer(s): Brian Johnson; Angus Young; Malcolm Young Performer(s): AC/DC
"Freeze", said the man cruisin' the beat "You get your hands up and spread your feet" "Don't you move an inch", I heard him say "Or you'll be doin' time until the judgement day" And he said, "Don't tell me no lies, give me alibis 'Cause if you cross my path, you'll be doin' life" It's a dirty lie
Chorus: It's a shakedown And it's a nervous shakedown A nervous shakedown Another nervous shakedown It's a shakedown And it's a nervous shakedown We got a shakedown Another nervous shakedown
(It's more like a set-up)
"Take a dime", said the man, "you can make one call You got a one-way ticket to the County Hall" Well, the judge looked high and I looked low And when he smiled at me it was a one-man show He said, "Two to five, the jury decides Double parole if you survive" It's a dirty lie
Chorus
Law is gonna get you this time And throw away the key
Chorus
Shake you down, shake you down And it's another shakedown Well it's a shakedown Another nervous shakedown Shake you down, shake you down And it's a nervous shakedown It's a shakedown
Indian Love Call Composer(s): Rudolf Friml; Oscar Hammerstein II; Otto Harbach; Herbert Stothart Performer(s): Paul Whiteman & His Orch. - 1924 and multiple other artists
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo When I'm calling you Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo Will you answer too? Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo
That means I offer my life to you to be my own If you refuse me I will be blue, waiting all alone
But if when you hear my love call ringing clear Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo And I hear your answering echo so dear Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo Then I will know our love will become true You'll belong to me and I'll belong to you
Then I will know our love will become true You'll belong to me and I'll belong to you
Nervous Breakdown Composer(s): Mario Roccuzzo Performer(s): Eddie Cochran; and various other artists
Chorus: I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown A mental shakedown See my hands, how they shiver See my knees, how they quiver My whole body's in a jitter I'm a-havin' a nervous breakdown
Well, I went to see my doctor just the other day And I've got to tell you what the man had to say Well, he said, "Hey, boy, you just gotta slow down You can't keep a-traipsin' all over town After givin' you a physical check I've come to the conclusion you're a total wreck"
(chorus)
I've made up my mind I'd better change my ways My shattered nerves have seen better days No more girls for a week or 2 No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew No more movies or stayin' out late My baby have to find herself another date
Indian Lake Composer(s): Tony Romeo Performer(s): The Cowsills and multiple other artists
You take a bus marked "Lakewood Drive" And you keep on drivin' till you're out of the city Where the air is fine with the sweet smellin pine And the countryside's pretty And you'll see daffodils peepin over The hills or a honey lovin' mama bear
You take a left at the bridge Go down to Quakerforn Ridge And in a minute you're there (dupe do be do do do )
Indian Lake is a scene You should make with your little one Keep it in mind if you're lookin to find A place in the summer sun Swim in the cove have a snack in the grove Or you can rent a canoe at Indian Lake You'll be able to make the way the Indians do
Neptune's Daughter Performer(s): Grant Clarke & Jean Schwartz
Down by the seaside Where waves were rolling A boy went strolling Moonlight night He was watching the fish play That very evening, beside the water Sat Neptune's daughter When he spied her pretty face he cried
Lovely little Neptune's daughter Living underneath the water I love you, Yes I do You seem to me, to be lonely When the moon begins to glimmer If I were a deep sea swimmer Then I'd go down below My little queen of the sea
Once he went fishing Where waves were rolling He started strolling, hours went by Then the shadows began to fall His heart was lonely He sat there thinking The sun was sinking From the blue there came a voice he knew
Lovely little Neptune's daughter Living underneath the water I love you, yes I do You seem to me to be lonely When the moon begins to glimmer If I were a deep sea swimmer Then I'd go down below My little queen of the sea

Neon Rainbow Composer(s): Wayne Thompson Performer(s): The Box Tops; Petula Clark; Queen Anne's Lace
The city lights, the pretty lights They can warm the coldest nights All the people going places Smiling with electric faces What they find the glow erases What they've lose the glow replaces, and life is love
In a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow
Moving lights, flashing sights Blinking faster than your mind Leading people with suggestions Leaving no unanswered questions You can live without direction And if don't have to be perfection, and life is love
In a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow
But in the daytime everything changes Nothing remains the same, no one smiles anymore Ad no one willopen his door Until the night time comes, and then the ...
City lights, the pretty lights They can warm the coldest nights All the people going places Smiling with the electric faces What they find the glow erases And what they lose the glow replaces, and life is love In a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow
Take me to your heart Reveal your ancient mysteries to me Im searching for an answer Thats somewhere deep inside I know Ill never find it here Its already in my mind Ive got to follow my heart Wherever it takes me Ive got to follow my heart Whenever it calls to me Ive got to follow my heart And my heart is going home Om
India, India Listen to my plea I sit here at your feet so patiently Im waiting by the river But somewhere in my mind I left my heart in England With the girl I left behind Ive got to follow my heart Wherever it takes me Ive got to follow my heart Whenever it calls to me Ive got to follow my heart And my heart is going home India ah
Neon Magic Composer(s): Andrew Latimer; Jan Schelhaas; Viv McAuliffe Performer(s): Camel
Neon magic, a playground for the noise Got the boys feeling tough, acting rough Looking for trouble? You better mind your tongue Having fun much too much Chasing cars, hit and run
They try their hardest To stand out in the crowd, talking loud Neon girls carrousels Show off their colours For some local fame That's the name (of their) game Acting cool, out of school You're the same
India Song Composer(s): Carlos D'Alessio; Marguerite Duras First release by: Jeanne Moreau - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists
Chanson Toi qui ne veux rien dire Toi qui me parles d'elle Et toi qui me dis tout Ô, toi Que nous dansions ensemble Toi qui me parlais d'elle D'elle qui te chantait Toi qui me parlais d'elle De son nom oublié De son corps, de mon corps De cet amour là De cet amour mort Chanson De ma terre lointaine Toi qui parleras d'elle Maintenant disparue Toi qui me parles d'elle De son corps effacé De ses nuits, de nos nuits De ce désir là De ce désir mort Chanson Toi qui ne veux rien dire Toi qui me parles d'elle Et toi qui me dit tout Et toi qui me dit tout
Neon Cowboy Composer(s): David Bellamy; T.T. Kermit; Ralph Siegel Performer(s): The Bellamy Brothers
Driving along on that endless road
just headin' for the silver sky Rolling along to a brand new song dreamin' up another lie
Through mountains in to canyons where rivers run below Still movin' down that highway lookin' for a place to go
'Cause I'm a Neon Cowboy and I'm a ridin' that freedom road A neon cowboy and your tears are my only load Always lookin' for that rainbow wherever I may roam
a Neon Cowboy's always comin' home
I watch T.V. in my motel room till I lose the light of day Then I slip into a six pack dream and drink the night away
The city lights are flashin' and I'm starin' at the phone
but it's much late for callin' feelin' like I'm far too gone
'Cause I'm a Neon Cowboy and I'm a ridin' that freedom road A neon cowboy and your tears are my only load Always lookin' for that rainbow where ever I may roam
a Neon Cowboy's always comin' home
I'm a Neon Cowboy and I'm a ridin' that freedom road A neon cowboy and your tears are my only load Far beyond the blue horizon where ever I may roam
your Neon Cowboy's always on the run
I'm a Neon Cowboy and I'm out on this road alone A neon cowboy in my heart I can feel your song I'm still look in for that rainbow where ever I may roam
Indestructible Composer(s): Michael Price; Bobby Sandstrom Performer(s): The Four Tops
We are friends, we are brothers Always there lookin' out for each other In a world where so many dreams are broken apart But when the world tries to beat us We hang tough, ain't no way they'll defeat us You and I will always survive, together we're strong
Heart to heart Any storm we can weather You and I we've become United forever
Two hearts that can beat as one There ain't a single thing, we can't overcome We're indestructible (indestructible) We've got the power of love So strong we can generate A wall of solid love Nothing can penetrate We're indestructible
There's a power, deep inside us Ain't no one that could ever divide us We won't fall, we'll show 'em all Just what we're made of
You and I We're in it together We stand strong through it all United forever
Two hearts that can beat as one There ain't a single thing, we can't overcome We're indestructible (indestructible) We've got the power of love So strong we can generate A wall of solid love Nothing can penetrate We're indestructible
Heart to heart Any storm we can weather You and I we've become Untied forever
Two hearts that can beat as one There ain't a single thing, we can't overcome We're indestructible (indestructible) We've got the power of love So strong we can generate A wall of solid love Nothing can penetrate We're indestructible
