Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' out of the gates takin' chances We're the crash and burn Yeah, there is a way with beauty, but you never gave a love cross the line where none return I watch my television; almost lost my mind It said, "Open your eyes Leave it all behind" I heard the wind a whisp'rin' strong magic comin' on! They comin' out for sure Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies Won't recognize them any more Ooh, mama, see the firelight Ooh, we're comin' out tonight Wolves at my door wised up quick Turn here and gone from on the go Seems the old folks who come up short were the pretty little kids who didn't want it, no I had to pay admission when I came tonight And it said, "Open my eyes Leave it all behind" I heard the wind a whisp'rin' strong magic comin' on! They comin' out for sure Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies Won't recognize them any more Ooh, mama, see the firelight Ooh, lightin' up the sky Light up the sky Light up the sky Light up the sky Light 'em up!

But You're Mine Italian Title: Ragazzo Triste Composer(s): Sonny Bono Originally performed by: Sonny & Cher Covered by: Patty Pravo
When people say you're not my kind And that your clothes are out of line And that your hair isn't combed all the time You're not real pretty but you're mine
We have a great big old society That won't make room for folks like you and me But I got some real bad news for them my friend They're on the outside looking in
We've got a great thing going And its gonna keep on growing And I hope that soon they'll see the light But until that time they'll have to blow their mind Cos it ain't us that's gonna lose this fight So when we're walking I don't care When all those people stop and stare If they'd look in your eyes they'd see You're not real pretty but you belong to me
Hey hey hey now Hey hey hey now When you're lovin' me baby And when I hold you baby [When I kiss you] I know you love me baby [When I hold you] You know I'll never leave you [When I touch you] I know I'll always love you [Every day now] You know I love you baby You know I love you baby
Déjate de rebeldías que la Historia ha superado ¿o nos ves que la anarquía se ha instalado en el Mercado? Qué te importa si es injusto que se muera la poesía Lo sublime es darle gusto Al gusto de la mayoría Qué divina, lo moderna moda moderada De lo light Al final después de tantas calorías esto es lo que hay Desde Texas a Chamberi se escuchaba siempre el mismo "light-motiv" Déjate de hacer discursos sobre el Logos y la Nada lo más sabio es el concurso de la inmensa marujada Qué te importa que el futuro sea un túnel sin salida si hemos derribado el Muro con la 'chispa de la vida' Qué divina la, moderna moda moderada ... Déjate de post-cultura que eso apesta a mausoleo aunque a veces la pintura Sirva para algún blanqueo Deja de volverte loco con el Fin de la Utopía hazte un poco neo-barroco y, ¡a vivir que son dos días! Qué divina la moderna moda moderada ...
But You Know I Love You Originally performed by: Kenny Rogers & The First Edition
When the morning sun Streaks across my room And I've waken up From another dream of you Yes I'm on the road Once again it seems All I've left behind Is a chain of broken dreams
But you know I love you Yes I love you Oh I love you
How I wish that love Was all wed need to live What a life we'd live 'Cause I've got so much to give And it seems so wrong Deep inside my heart That the dollar sign Should be keeping us apart
But you know I love you Yes I love you Oh I love you
And if I could only find my way back to the time When the problems of this life of mine didn't cross our minds All the answers were found in children's nursery rhymes I'd come running back to you I'd come running back to you And you know we can't Live on dreams alone Just to pay the rent I must leave you all alone But you know I made my choice Many years ago Now this traveling life Is the only one I know
Light Is Faster Than Sound Composer(s): Peter Albin Performer(s): Janis Joplin; Big Brother & the Holding Company
Light is faster than sound My head to the ground Mind going round Faster than sound
What goes up must go down World goes around Sun shines around Faster than sound
Suddenly I see your face Faster than sound Through the emptiness of space Faster than sound Youre turning my mind all around Faster than sound Cause life is faster than sound Faster than sound Faster than sound
Light is faster than sound My head to the ground Mind going round Faster than sound
What goes up must go down World goes around Sun shines around Faster than sound
Whoa, suddenly I see your face Faster than sound Through the emptiness of space Faster than sound Youre turning my mind all around Faster than sound Cause life is faster than sound Faster than sound Faster than sound
Light Flight Composer(s): Bert Jansch - Danny Thompson - Jacqui McShee - John Renbourn - Terry Cox Performer(s): Pentangle; Clare Teal
Let's get away, you say, find a better place Miles and miles away from the city's race Look around for someone lying in the sunshine Marking time, hear the sighs, close your eyes...
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Stepping from cloud to cloud passing years of light Visit the frosty stars in the backward flight Star becomes a vision, never mind the meaning Hidden there, moving fast, it won't last...
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Time passes all too soon, how it rushes by Now a thousand moons are about to die No time to reflect on what the time was spent on Nothing left, far away, dreamers fade
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Strange visions pass me by, winging sweetly close inside O-ver the wa-ter, ah....
Swirling, the waters rise up above my head Gone are the curling mists how they all have fled Look, the door is open, step into the space Provided there
Da do da, da, do da... Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da ...
But One Day Composer(s): Mick Bower Performer(s): The Master's Apprentices
Ah.......... Ah.......... He isn't shaken by his ways He has 40 new girls every day Love comes, love goes, what the difference anyway? Today's girl loves him, yesterdays will cry Ah.......... Ah.......... Daddy's car is always at his hand A car that runs on tears and treat you like a man Aftershave and suede shoes, might not have the blues With cigarettes and car seats, what else would he choose? Ah.......... Ah..........
Chorus He knows the score I don't know anything But One Day he'll see.....that he's wrong
Well life's too short And you're too sweet Every day of your life, child You've got to spend with me
Now let me tell you 'bout Sally She's a-really tough And girl you know about Emmy She's cool enough
Oh, but life's too short to mess around Don't you give me no stuff, child And don't you put me down
A-no no, a-no no, a-no no, a-no I, I keep a-tellin' you, I, I keep a-tellin' you I, I keep a-tellin' you, aah
I, I said I told a-you baby I said I told-a you all I said, bah, oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hooooh And you're too wild To pass me by, baby With just a kiss and a smile We gotta up and get married Before my hair turns gray I need you for real, baby I've had my time to play
Now c'mon, a-c'mon A-c'mon, don't make me so blue (C'mon, c'mon) A-hey-hey, a-hey-hey (C'mon, c'mon) A-hey-hey, a-hey-hey ...
Niks Voor Mij English Title: But Not For Me Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin; Chef van Dijk; Max Tak Performer(s): Greetje Kauffeld
Al wil ik nog zo graag, ik maak geen kans Als ik een dansje waag, 'k heb nooit eens sjans Ik maak me steeds weer druk, maar ik hoor eigenlijk Thuis in zo'n treurig stuk van Heyermans Ik lijk wel gek, dat ik het nog probeer Maar ik ben niet gek, ik pik het ook niet meer Het is voorgoed voorbij, weg met de dromerij liefde is niks voor mij

Life's Little Ups And Downs Composer(s): Margaret Ann Rich First recording/First release by: Charlie Rich - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
I don't know how to tell her I didn't get that raise in pay today And I know how much she wanted the dress in Baker's window And it breaks my heart to see her have to wait And cancel all the plans she made to celebrate But I can count on her to take it with a smile and not a frown
She knows that life has it's little ups and downs Like ponies on a merry-go-round And no one grabs the brass ring everytime But she don't mind She wears a gold ring on her finger And I'm so glad that it's mine
The new house plans we've had so long I guess will gather dust another year And the daffodils are bloomin' that she planted way last fall Up on the hill, over by the gate Lord knows I hate to say again, we'll have to wait But you can bet she'll just take it with a smile and not a frown
She knows that life has it's little ups and downs Like ponies on a merry-go-round And no one grabs the brass ring everytime But she don't mind She wears a gold ring on her finger And I'm so glad that it's mine She wears a gold ring on her finger And I'm so glad that it's mine
But Not For Me Dutch Title: Niks Voor Mij Composer(s): Ira Gershwin; George Gershwin Originally performed by: Ginger Rogers & Willie Howard Covered by various other artists
They're writing songs of love, but not for me A lucky star's above, but not for me With love to lead the way I found more clouds are gray Than any rainy day, could guarantee
I was a fool to fall, and get that way I should have known the price, I'd have to pay Although I can't dismiss The memory of his kiss I guess he's not, for me

Life's Been Good Composer(s): Joe Walsh Performer(s): Joe Walsh; Eagles

They say I'm crazy but I have a have a good time I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime Life's been good to me so far
My Maseratti does one-eighty-five I lost my license, now I dont drive I have a limo, ride in the back I lock the doors in case I'm attacked
I'm making records, my fans they can't wait They write me letters, tell me I'm great So I got me an office, gold records on the wall Just leave a message, maybe I'll call
Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through I cant complain but sometimes I still do Life's been good to me so far
I go to parties sometimes until four It's hard to leave when you can't find the door It's tough to handle this fortune and fame Everybody's so different, I haven't changed
They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time I keep on goin' guess I'll never know why Life's been good to me so far

I could have loved you girl Like a planet I could have chained your heart To a star But it really doesn't matter at all No it really doesn't matter at all Life's a gas, I hope it's gonna last
