It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on Amerikas tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

Coro: nessuno crede in te
Coro: nessuno crede in te

Non ho più nessuno, mi sento davvero un fallito
senza soldi, senza casa, senza te
Io spero soltanto che questa sfortuna
Coro: nessuno crede in te
mi debba lasciare, dovrà pur finire
Coro: nessuno crede in te
e cerco qualcuno che possa prestarmi dei soldi
Coro: nessuno crede in te

Per giunta fra poco sarà l'onomastico suo
e per farmi perdonare vorrei...
vorrei regalarti una bella pelliccia
Coro: nessuno crede in te
ma non ho il coraggio di farmi vedere
Coro: nessuno crede in te
io sono un fallito, mi spiace e non posso cambiare
Coro: nessuno crede in te

Nessuno mi aiuta, nessuno mi tende la mano
e un'idea sta giungendo piano
Io sono un fallito, un fallito d'onore
per questo ho vergogna di farmi vedere
un treno io prendo e non mi farò più sentire
Coro: nessuno crede in te

No, no, nessuno!
Coro: nessuno crede in te
No, no, nessuno!
Coro: nessuno crede in te
No, no, nessuno!
Coro: nessuno crede in te

Det är grått, det är sent och tyst
För en flicka som ingen kysst
Sen en gryning för länge sen
Ingen vet när det händer igen
Nu går hon genom stan, stannar så
Och hon köper biljett, en blå
Till det landet där drömmar väcks
Ljuset på biografen släcks

Men den filmen är seg och trist
Som den var när hon såg den sist
Hon kan varje sen utantill
Ser hjältinnan som kysser sin hjälte

Tårarna som rinner
Stelnar i en stumps sista bild
En sån fruktansvärd film
Hon går genom staden
Tittar upp mot rymden
Raden utav bleka stjärnors ljus
Som står högt över mörka hus
Finns det liv på mars?

Och från ett glömskans kalejdoskop
Helt utan saknad och enslig gråt
Går hon sakta, så sakta hem
Till sin vardag, nio till fem
Som en skepnad bland många fler
Men blir det aldrig nånting mer
Någonting riktigt rart och snällt
Som i den dröm som gavs i kväll

Men den filmen är seg och trist
Som den var när hon såg den sist
Hon kan varje sen utantill
Ser hjältinnan som kysser sin hjälte

Tårarna som rinner
Stelnar i en stumps sista bild
En sån fruktansvärd film
Hon går genom staden
Tittar upp mot rymden
Raden utav bleka stjärnors ljus
Som står högt över mörka hus
Finns det liv på mars?

Busted 
French & Italian Titles: Fauché; Sono Un Fallito
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Originally performed by: Johnny Cash
Covered by various other artists



My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm busted 
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted 
I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay 
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day 
The county's gonna haul my belongings away cause I'm busted

I went to my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted 
I hate to beg like a dog without his bone, but I'm busted 
My brother said there ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
And I was just thinking about calling on you 'cause I'm busted

Well, I am no thief, but a man can go wrong when he's busted 
The food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm busted 
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family got to pack up and go
But I'll make a living, just where I don't know cause I'm busted

I'm broke, no bread, I mean like nothing

Life Made Me Beautiful At Forty
Composer(s): Eartha Kitt - Joachim Kühn
Performer(s): Eartha Kitt



I've been through clouds and stormy skies
On different worlds, all filled with lives
I've travelled through the steams of lovers
And wiped my tears upon their covers
I've lived a life of rogue and queen
And died my hair to fit the scene
I've had my ups, I've had my downs
And sipped champagne with worldly crowns
I've been as honest as I could
And ashamed, the shame that knows I should
I've been loved and I've been lied to
And found a few shoulders I could cry to
And all those years I thought life naughty, ah-hah
Should make me beautiful at forty

For life's not been so bad to take
For now I've cut life's golden cake
Into a million tiny squares
And with each piece recall the years
The taste of life has not been so bad
Between the tears and joys I've had
But with some good and a little singing
She always allowed me to get a grin
And all those years I've spent on my youth
Thinking knowledge brought the truth
I know life has her games to play
And puzzles it, crackling play
So, graves are dug and wars are lost
But life goes on at any cost

I do think life has made me wiser
So there is no reason to disguise her
Even tried to rearrange her
She has been fair, I would not change her, hah-hum
She presents me life so simply
In a cup that's almost empty
With a little wine to tease me
But not enough to really please me
And if I drink, and let her take me
She is wise enough to wake me
But only after dreams and visions
Allowing me to see these decisions, ah-hah
All those years I thought life naughty
She made me beautiful at forty

Bust My Ball
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): Marc Bolan & T. Rex



Oh baby don’t you know my head it feels so slow
Won’t it bust my ball
Oh baby don’t you know my head it feels so slow
Won’t it bust my ball

Busted now busted now ba----by
Busted now busted now ba----by
Busted now busted now ba----by
Busted now

Oh baby don’t you know my head it feels so slow
Won’t it bust my ball
Oh baby don’t you know my head it feels so slow
Won’t it bust my ball

Life Is Nothing Without Music
Composer(s): Fred Hartley
Performer(s): Sam Browne



Life is nothing without music
Music helps the world along
While the orchestra is playing
My heart is singing a song of love, dear
Let’s forget about those grey days
We’ll be happy while we dance
Tunes we love will make us realise that
Life is nothing without music
Where there’s music we’ll find romance

What do you say, life is dull and grey
Because the sun’s not always shining.
It isn’t so, if you only know
Where to look to find the silver lining.

Life is nothing without music
(One line of music)
While the orchestra is playing
(One line of music)
Let’s forget about those grey days
We’ll be happy while we dance
Tunes we love will make us realise that
Life is nothing without music
Where there’s music we’ll find romance

Business On The Street
Composer(s): Stephen Stills
Performer(s): Stephen Stills & Manassas



Don't put your business in the street
Your brothers and sisters is about all you need
No tellin' who you might meet
It might make you sad, make you feel mad
Make you blue, what are you gonna do
The biggest fool of all is me
I play the music for the music you see
For money I do publicity
So I can buy guitars, put a studio in the backyard
You know what it costs me to find another key
And when you get a little bit older
You're carryin' too much weight on your shoulder
Share your heavy load come on over
So we go and see, what you're gonna be
Don't try too hard, don't you break your heart
Oh yes, wrong, right
I'm tellin' ya, tell me
Gonna be all right
Gonna be all right

Life Is Just What You Make It
Composer(s): Alan Osmond - Merrill Osmond
Performer(s): Donny Osmond



Baby, I've been thinkin', and I've finally made up my mind
Baby, I've been lookin', and you know there's one thing that I find

That life is just what you make it
life is just what you want it to be
Life, don't think I can take it
unless you could spend it with me

Baby, since I met you, I just can't get you out of my mind
Lately, if I'm not with you, I feel like I'm wasting my time

'Cause life is just what you make it
life is just what you want it to be
Life, don't think I can take it
unless you could spend it with me

Walkin' in the noonday sunshine
together we will pass the time
Sittin' 'neath the moon just dreamin'
with you, girl, just us two girl

Oh yeah.... oh yeah.....

With you, girl, just us two girl
I'm no fool, girl

'Cause life is just what you make it
life is just what you want it to be
Life, don't think I can take it
unless you could spend it with me

Oh, life is just what you make it ...

Business Is Business
Composer(s): John Kay
Performer(s): John Kay & Company



I was told I had to grease his palm
To walk from school without the fear of harm
He knocked me down and took my dollar from me
And then he lay these pearls of wisdom on me
He say; Business is business, nothing is free
Business is business, don't you blame me
Business is business, you've got to pay
Business is business, can't get away
Business is business, a man's gotta live
And what I can take is more than you'd give
Nothing has changed since I left school behind
The bullies now just all wear suits and ties
They'll buy you lunch to get that dollar from you
And then they'll lay the mumbo-jumbo on you
Business is business, nothing is free
Business is business, don't you blame me
Business is business, you've got to pay
Business is business. can't get away
Business is business, don't call me a crook
It's perfectly legal, I go by the book

Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries
Composer(s): Ray Henderson - Lew Brown
Performer(s): Rudy Vallée
and multiple other artists



People are queer, they're always crowing, scrambling and rushing about
Why don't they stop someday, address themselves this way?
Why are we here? Where are we going? It's time that we found out
We're not here to stay; we're on a short holiday

Life is just a bowl of cherries
Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious
You work, you save, you worry so
But you can't take your dough when you go, go, go

So keep repeating it's the berries
The strongest oak must fall
The sweet things in life, to you were just loaned
So how can you lose what you've never owned?
Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live and laugh at it all

Life is just a bowl of cherries
Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious
At eight each morning I have got a date
To take my plunge 'round the Empire State
You'll admit it's not the berries
In a building that's so tall
There's a guy in the show, the girls love to kiss
Get thousands a week just for crooning like this
Life is just a bowl of ... aw, nuts!
So live and laugh at it all!

Performer(s): Count Basie & Tony Bennett
and multiple other artists



Life is a song, let's sing it together
Let's take our hearts and dip them in rhyme
Let's learn the words, let's learn the music together
hoping the song last for a long, long time

Life is a song that goes on forever
Love's old refrain can never go wrong
Let's strike the note Mendelssohn wrote concerning spring weather
Let's sing together and make life a song

Buscándonos
Composer(s): Pablo Guerrero
Performer(s): Joan Manuel Serrat



Qué de temblor de peces
hay en tus ojos
cuando penetro en ti
-buscándote, buscándote-
granizada de luz
en mi noche de agosto

Qué temblor de manantiales
hay en tu boca
cuando bebo de ti
un buen sorbo de besos
Qué de temblor de risa
hay en tus manos
cuando vienen a mí
- buscándome, buscándome-
para exigir al mundo
nuestra ración de dicha

Qué de temblor de vida
hay en nosotros
cuando nos descubrimos
buscándonos, buscándonos
hasta sentirnos uno
nuestros, resucitados

Busca La Gente De Mañana
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Nada es fácil y tampoco la vida
son tan duras las horas, tan largas las esperas
que andas así, bailando
como un pez en la mano o un papel en el fuego

Que este tiempo sólo y sólo de nieblas
nunca consiga paralizar tus pasos
y andes así encerrado
como el mar en las conchas o el grito en las
campanas

Busca la gente de mañana
la que tiene en sus manos las olas de la vida

Life Is A Minestrone
Composer(s): Eric Stewart - Kevin Godley - Lol Creme
Performer(s): 10cc



I'm dancing on the White House lawn 
Sipping tea by the Taj Mahal at dawn 
Hanging round 
The gardens of Babylon 
Minnie Mouse has got it all sewn up 
She gets more fan mail than the Pope 
She takes the mickey out of all my phobias 
Like signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia 
Life is a minestrone 
Served up with Parmesan cheese 
Death is a cold Lasagne 
Suspended in deep freeze 
I'm leaning on the Tower of Pisa 
Had an eyeful of the tower in France 
I'm hanging round 
The gardens of Madison 
And the seat of learning 
And the flush of success 
Relieves a constipated mind 
I'm like a gourmet 
In a skid row diner 
A fitting menu for a dilettante 
Life is a minestrone 
Served up with Parmesan cheese 
Death is a cold Lasagne 
Suspended in deep freeze 
Love is a fire of flaming brandy 
Upon a crepe suzette 
Let's get this romance cooking, honey 
But let us not forget 
Life is a minestrone 
Served up with Parmesan cheese 
Death is a cold Lasagne 
Suspended in deep freeze 

Wenn Ich Je Deine Liebe Verlier'
Composer(s): Hanne Haller; Bernd Meinunger
Performer(s): Rex Gildo



Manchmal schien das Ende ganz nah
und wir haben's doch geschafft
Irgendwo war immer ein Weg
um weiter zu geh'n

Wir zwei teilten Sorgen und Streit
bis zur Grenze uns'rer Kraft
Manchmal
glaub ich
konntest du mich nicht mehr versteh'n

Meistens hast du lächelnd verzieh'n
und nur einmal gingst du fort
Ich weiß
was es heißt
ohne dich zu sein

Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier

dann bleibt nur noch die Trauer in mir
und der Rest geht mit dir
Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier

mach' ich weiter und leb' wie bisher

doch ich weiß nicht wofür

Glaub' mir
ich leb'
weil es dich gibt
Ich könnt allein nicht halb so glücklich sein

Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier

dann stirbt auch mein Vertrauen zu dir

das darf niemals gescheh'n

Liebe
das ist Schatten und Licht
Beides haben wir gehabt

und die Spur der Jahre mit dir lebt tief in mir

Denn was ich dir sagte

das hab' ich noch keiner sonst gesgat
und bei keiner hatt' ich je Angst
sie zu verlier'n

Es wird nicht immer leicht für uns sein

doch zusammen sind wir stark
Es liegt nur an uns
was die Zukunft bringt

Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier
...

Glaub' mir
ich leb'
weil es dich gibt ...

Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier
...
Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier
...
ub' mir
ich leb'
weil es dich gibt ...

Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier

Life Is A Highway
Composer(s): Tom Cochrane
First release by: Tom Cochrane - 1991



Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened Door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate break down the garden gate
There's not much left today

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long

Through all the cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From mozambique to those memphis nights
The khyber pass to vancouver's lights
Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man

There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll bee there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once but now
We look it in the eye

There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Bus Stop
French Title: Arrêt D'autobus
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman
Originally performed by: The Hollies
Covered by various other artists



Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

That's the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinkin' of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue

Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine
