Coming Into Los Angeles Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie First release by: Arlo Guthrie - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Coming in from London From over the pole Flying in a big airliner Chickens flying everywhere around the plane Could we ever feel much finer?
Coming into Los Angeles Bringing in a couple of keys Don't touch my bags if you please Mister Customs Man
There's a guy with a ticket to Mexico No, he couldn't look much stranger Walking in the hall with his things and all Smiling, said he was the Lone Ranger
Coming into Los Angeles Bringing in a couple of keys Don't touch my bags if you please Mister Customs Man
Hip woman walking on a moving floor Tripping on the escalator There's a man in the line And she's blowing his mind Thinking that he's already made her
Coming into Los Angeles Bringing in a couple of keys Don't touch my bags if you please Mister Customs Man
Coming in from London From over the pole Flying in a big airliner Chickens flying everywhere around the plane Could we ever feel much finer?
Coming into Los Angeles Bringing in a couple of keys Don't touch my bags if you please Mister Customs Man
Los Amantes Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael and multiple other artists
Los amantes se van Riendo se van porque no los entienden Y se van del lugar, de aquella ciudad donde vivieron siempre Los amantes se van Contentos se van a un rincón de la Tierra Da lo mismo el lugar ¿qué importa el lugar? Mientras vivan tan cerca Los amantes se marchan porque nadie perdona Que se quieran así, que se adoren así Como ellos se adoran Cada día comienzan un nuevo idilio Cada día terminan un gran amor Juntos van porque quieren mañana y tarde No hay cadenas que obliguen a los amantes Cada día comienzan un nuevo idilio Cada día terminan un gran amor Juntos van porque quieren mañana y tarde No hay cadenas que obliguen a los amantes Los amantes jamás pudieron Guardar un recuerdo de boda Nadie tuvo que hacer ni de amigo y de juez Y brindar por la novia Los amantes no juran un amor para siempre Que el amor es amor y no obligación Como piensa la gente

She's a very kinky girl The kind you don't take home to mother She will never let your spirits down Once you get her off the street, ow girl

Everybody sing! Super freak, super freak
She's a very special girl The kind of girl you want to know From her head down to her toenails Down to her feet Yet she'll wait for me at backstage with her girlfriends In a limousine Chrome and black and shiny, now
Three's not a crowd to her, she says "Room 714, I'll be waiting" When I get there she's got incense, wine and candles It's such a freaky scene
That girl is pretty kinky, the girl's a super freak The kind of girl you read about in new wave magazines That girl is pretty wild now, the girl's a super freak I really love to taste her, every time we meet She's all right, she's all right That girl's all right with me, yeah Hey hey hey hey She's a super freak, super freak, she's super-freaky

Los Accidentes De La Ruta Composer(s): León Gieco Performer(s): León Gieco
Al costado de tu tiempo quedan los queridos detrás de tu cabeza todo el recorrido adelante están los días si vendrán porque tus ojos nunca podrán ver lo que sigue Mas allá del horizonte está el destino mas allá de ese destino hay un abismo en el que caerás si no te cuidas, oh mi amigo uh, uh, uh, uh ...
En el medio de la ruta flota la pregunta rodeando tus sentidos están los de otra gente en el medio de la suerte si tendrás canta la flor reciente sin saber lo que sigue
Sunspot Baby Composer(s): Bob Seger Performer(s): Bob Seger
She packed up her bags and she took off down the road Left me here stranded with the bills she owed She gave me a false address Took off with my American Express Sunspot Baby She sure had me way outguessed
She left me here stranded like a dog out in the yard Charged up a fortune on my credit card She used my address and my name Man that was sure unkind Sunspot Baby She sure has a real good time
I looked in Miami I looked in Negril The closest I came was a month old bill I checked the Bahamas and they said she was gone I can't understand why she did me so wrong
But she packed up her bags And she took off down the road Said she was going to visit sister Flo She used my address and my name And man that was sure unkind Sunspot Baby I'm gonna catch up sometime Sure had a real good time
Lorsque S'en Vient Le Soir Composer(s): Jean Ferrat Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Lorsque s'en vient le soir qui tourne par la porte Vivre à la profondeur soudain d'un champ de blé Je te retrouve amour avec mes mains tremblées Qui m'es la terre tendre entre les feuilles mortes Et nous nous défaisons de nos habits volés
Rien n'a calmé ces mains que j'ai de te connaître Gardant du premier soir ce trouble à te toucher Je te retrouve amour si longuement cherchée Comme si tout à coup s'ouvrait une fenêtre Et si tu renonçais à toujours te cacher
Je suis à tout jamais ta scène et ton théâtre Où le rideau d'aimer s'envole n'importe où L'étoile neige en moi son éternel mois d'août Rien n'a calmé ce coeur en te voyant de battre Il me fait mal à force et rien ne m'est si doux
Tu m'es pourtant toujours la furtive passante Qu'on retient par miracle au détour d'un instant Rien n'a calmé ma peur je doute et je t'attends Dieu perd les pas qu'il fait lorsque tu m'es absente Un regard te suffit à faire le beau temps
Lorsque s'en vient le soir qui tourne par la porte Vivre à la profondeur soudain d'un champ de blé Je te retrouve amour avec mes mains tremblées Qui m'es la terre tendre entre les feuilles mortes Et nous nous défaisons de nos habits volés
Sunshine, Sunshine Composer(s): James Taylor Performer(s): Tom Rush; Smooth Citizen; James Taylor
Sounds of laughter here comes sunshine Smiling faces all around They possess you bless you sunshine Now you can never let them down I say sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine Is that a cloud across your smile or did you dream again last night Its best you rest inside a while as blue doesnt seem to suit you right
Things aint what they used to be pain and rain and misery Illness in the family and sunshine means a lot to me I say sunshine
But could it be sunshine is drifting with midnight And lonely when everyones gone Blue crystal spirits and gardens in moonlight Leave weak alone and bleak all quiet and grey by dawn
Sunshine sunshine Rising to late to chase the cold and failing to change the frost to dew Shes trading her mood of yellow gold for frost bitten shades of silver Blue
Friends and lovers past and gone and no-one waiting further on Im running short of things to be and sunshine means quiet a lot to me I say sunshine... sunshine
L'orphelin Composer(s): Georges Brassens - Jean Bertola Performer(s): Maxime le Forestier
Sauf dans le cas fréquent, hélas! Où ce sont de vrais dégueulasses On ne devrait perdre jamais Ses père et mère, bien sûr, mais À moins d'être un petit malin Qui meurt avant d'être orphelin Ou un infortuné bâtard Ça nous pend au nez tôt ou tard
Quand se drapant dans un linceul Ses parents le laissent tout seul Le petit orphelin, ma foi Est bien à plaindre Toutefois Sans aller jusqu'à décréter Qu'il devient un enfant gâté Disons que dans son affliction Il trouve des compensations
D'abord au dessert aussitôt La meilleure part du gâteau Et puis plus d'école, pardi La semaine aux quatre-jeudis On le traite comme un pacha A sa place on fouette le chat Et le trouvant très chic en deuil Les filles lui font des clins d'il
Il serait par trop saugrenu D'énumérer par le menu Les faveurs et les passe-droits Qu'en l'occurrence on lui octroie Tirant même un tel bénéfice En perdant leurs parents, des fils Dénaturés regrettent de N'en avoir à perdre que deux
Hier j'ai dit à un animal De flic qui me voulait du mal Je suis orphelin, savez-vous? Il me répondit: je m'en fous J'aurais eu quarante ans de moins Je suis sûr que par les témoins La brute aurait été mouchée Mais ces lâches n'ont pas bougé
Aussi mon enfant si tu dois Etre orphelin, dépêche-toi Tant qu'à perdre tes chers parents Petit, n'attends pas d'être grand L'orphelin d'âge canonique Personne ne le plaint: bernique! Et pour tout le monde il demeure Orphelin de la onzième heure
Celui qui a fait cette chanson A voulu dire à sa façon Que la perte des vieux est parfois perte sèche, blague à part Avec l'âge c'est bien normal Les plaies du cur guérissent mal Souventes fois même, salut! Elles ne se referment plus
Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows Composer(s): Marvin Hamlisch - Howard Liebling First release by: Lesley Gore - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together Brighter than a lucky penny When you're near the rain cloud disappears, dear And I feel so fine just to know that you are mine

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows Everything that's wonderful is sure to come your way When you're in love to stay
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together Brighter than a lucky penny When you're near the rain cloud disappears, dear And I feel so fine just to know that you are mine
My life is sunshine, lollipops and rainbows That's how this refrain goes, so come on, join in everybody!
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows Everything that's wonderful is sure to come your way 'Cause you're in love, you're in love And love is here to stay!
L'Oriental (On M'Appelle L'Oriental) Composer(s): Youcef Hedjajd Performer(s): Enrico Macias
Et l'on m'appelle l'Oriental Le brun au regard fatal Et l'on m'appelle l'Oriental Car moi je suis sentimental Et pourtant je ne fais pas de mal On m'a surnommé l'Oriental
On critique ma vie Mais on aime ma compagnie À tout instant mon cur s'attache Mon cur joue à cache-cache
Même quand je n'ai pas un dollar Je chante et j'oublie mon cafard On m'a surnommé l'Oriental Car moi je suis sentimental
Et l'on m'appelle l'Oriental Le brun au regard fatal Et l'on m'appelle l'Oriental Car moi je suis sentimental Et pourtant je ne fais pas de mal On m'a surnommé l'Oriental
Chansons tristes ou chansons gaies Moi je chante ce qu'il me plaît C'est la musique qui m'affole Musique orientale ou espagnole
La chanson c'est comme l'amour Ça fait rêver la nuit le jour On m'a surnommé l'Oriental Tellement je suis sentimental
Et l'on m'appelle l'Oriental Le brun au regard fatal Et l'on m'appelle l'Oriental Car moi je suis sentimental Et pourtant je ne fais pas de mal On m'a surnommé l'Oriental
Sunshine Superman ((Italian Version: Il Superuomo (by Gianni Pettenati)) Composer(s): Donovan First release by: Donovan - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Sunshine came softly through my a-window today Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways It'll take time, I know it but in a while You're gonna be mine, I know it, we'll do it in style 'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find Everybody's hustlin' just to have a little scene When I say we'll be cool I think that you know what I mean We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when? I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind 'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine I'll tell you right now Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Superman or green lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah! A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne 'bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own When you've made your mind up forever to be mine I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
L'orgue Des Amoureux Composer(s): André Varel - Charly Bailly - Francis Carco Performer(s): Edith Piaf and multiple other artists
Un vieil orgue de Barbarie Est venu jouer l'autre jour Sous ma fenêtre, dans la cour Une ancienne chanson d'amour Et pour que rien, rien ne varie Amour rimait avec toujours En écoutant cette romance Qui me rappelait le passé Je crus que j'en avais assez Mais comme hélas, tout recommence Tout hélas a recommencé Tout hélas a recommencé
Je t'ai donné mon cur Je t'ai donné ma vie Et mon âme ravie Malgré ton air moqueur Reprenons tous en chur Est à toi pour la vie
C'est pourtant vrai, lorsque j'y pense Que je l'aimais éperduement Et que jamais aucun amant Ne m'a causé plus de tourments Mais voilà bien ma récompense D'avoir pu croire en ses serments Il a suffi d'une aventure Plus banale en vérité Pour qu'un beau soir, sans hésiter Il obéit à sa nature Je ne l'avais pas mérité Je ne l'avais pas mérité
Je t'ai donné mon cur Je t'ai donné ma vie Et mon âme ravie Malgré ton air moqueur Reprenons tous en chur Est à toi pour la vie
Que pouvons-nous contre nous-mêmes? Chacun de nous suit son chemin C'est le sort de tous les humains Mais ceux qui vont main dans la main En se disant tout bas "je t'aime" Devraient songer aux lendemains Sur une triste ritournelle Dont l'écho s'est vite envolé L'orgue à la fin s'en est allé Et, pardonnant à l'infidèle J'ai chanté pour me consoler J'ai chanté pour me consoler
Je t'ai donné mon cur Je t'ai donné ma vie Et mon âme ravie Malgré ton air moqueur Reprenons tous en chur Est à toi pour la vie Je t'ai donné mon cur, je t'ai donné ma vie ...
Il Superuomo ((Adapted from: Sunshine Superman (by Donovan) - 1966)) Composer(s): Donovan - Herbert Pagani Performer(s): Gianni Pettenati
Sai superman a che ora Lei pensa a te Al tuo denaro e all'oro, che conta per te Ed io son rimasto solo A chiedermi se Ama l'uomo nuovo O quel che eri tu Quando m'insegnavi A credere all'amor Ma ora io so... che superuomo strano Pero' ci sei tu Ma forse un giorno credi Non lo sarai piu' Se lei vuole il mondo intero O il sole lassu' Tu hai gia' volato in cielo e ancora di piu' Ma quel superuomo Sei sempre piu' che mai Uh uh uh uh uh Ed io son rimasto solo Col pianto nel cuor
Sei un superuomo e il vento ti porta con se Ha cancellato il sole che non splende piu' Ed io son rimasto solo E gia' spero che Lei prenda ancora il volo insieme a me Non ha piu' denaro Da comperare un cuor Uh uh uh uh uh Sai che ho cercato invano in fondo al tuo cuor Ma le mie parole Non hai ascoltato mai Uh uh uh uh uh nel mio giardino ieri Eri con me
Lorelei Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung - James Young Performer(s): Styx
When I think of Lorelei my head turns all around As gentle as a butterfly she moves without a sound I call her on the telephone, she says be there by eight Tonight's the night she's moving in and I can hardly wait The way she moves, ooh-ooh I gotta say Lorelei let's live together Brighter than the stars forever Lorelei let's live together Brighter than the stars forever Her eyes become of Paradise, she softly speaks my name She brightens every lonely night, no one's quite the same She calls me on the telephone, she says be there by eight Tonight's the night she's moving in, it's time to celebrate The way she moves, ooh-ooh I gotta say Lorelei let's live together Brighter than the stars forever Lorelei let's live together Brighter than the stars forever
Sunshine On My Shoulders ((Czech Version: Svítá Ve Tvých Tvárích (by Salon Fesaku - 1977)) Composer(s): John Denver - Mike Taylor - Dick Kniss) First release by: John Denver - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a day that I could give you I'd give to you the day just like today If I had a song that I could sing for you I'd sing a song to make you feel this way
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a tale that I could tell you I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile If I had a wish that I could wish for you I'd make a wish for sunshine for all the while
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost all the time makes me high
Lordly Nightshade Composer(s): Robin Williamson Performer(s): The Incredible Stringband
Captured by Hitler with Oliver Twist in the tower Guards say here's pens and paper just sit down and work for an hour O, Goodness, how can we escape? but it's not worthwhile All I can do is smile
Down gallons of glandular corridors of the dark castle The pompous old bellman is tolling one bell At bathtime the hippies in chains they are crossing the hall Where Hitler is making his new film about it all We slip trough a pew and escape but I just don't know All I can do is grow
Tell me more, what then
Down Main Street I go on a duffel-coat hoping instead For a little room, yawn, I'm so tired with this big bag of coal on my head It's a top hat I'm trying to sell or a lesson to learn Vaguely seeking some fire to burn
While a group of middle-aged persons with dwarfish expressions and tinned conversations in Sunday blessed blue Standing around for a photograph, watch the cuckoo Do you need any coal? But it doesn't appear that they do Then I offered my throat to the wolf but I just can't die All I can do is fly
Safe and secure in the skirts of the midsummer wood Cooking soup with stale words and fresh meanings it tastes so good The green wolf with his bunch of red roses is slinking away All on a summer's day
Sunshine Of Your Love ((Italian Version: Ritorno Da Te (by I Barrittas) - 1970)) Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Jack Bruce - Pete Brown First release by: Cream - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists

Lord, Mr. Ford Composer(s): Dick Feller Performer(s): Jerry Reed
Well, if you're one of the millions who own one of them gas drinking, piston clinking air polluting, smoke belching, four wheeled buggies from Detroit City, then pay attention I'm about to sing your song son
Well, I'm not a man appointed judge To bear ill-will and hold a grudge But I think it's time I said me a few choice words All about that demon automobile A metal box with the polyglass wheel The end result to the dream of Henry Ford Well, I've got a car that's mine alone That me and the finance company own A ready made pile of manufactured grief And if I ain't out of gas in the pouring rain I'm a-changing a flat in a hurricane I once spent three days lost on a cloverleaf Well, it ain't just the smoke and the traffic jam That makes me the bitter fool I am But this four wheel buggy is a-dollaring me to death For gas and oils and fluids and grease And wires and tires and anti-freeze And them accessories, well honey that's something else Well, you can get a stereo tape and a color tv Get a backseat bar and reclining seats And just pay once a month, like you do your rent Well, I figured it up and over a period of time This four thousand dollar car of mine Costs fourteen thousand dollars and ninety-nine cents Well, now Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see What your simple horseless carriage has become Well, it seems your contribution to man To say the least, got a little out of hand Well, Lord Mr. Ford, what have you done
Now the average American father and mother Own one whole car and half another And I bet that half a car is a trick to buy, don't you? But the thing that amazes me I guess Is the way we measure a man's success By the kind of an automobile he can afford to buy Well now, red light, green light, traffic cop Right turn, no turn, must turn, stop Get out the credit card honey, we're out of gas Well, now all the car's placed end to end Would reach to the moon and back again And there'd probably be some fool pull out to pass Well now, how I yearn for the good old days Without that carbon monoxide haze A-hanging over the roar of the interstate Well, if the Lord that made the moon and stars Would have meant for me and you to have cars He'd have seen that we was all born with a parking space Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see What your simple horseless carriage has become Well, it seems your contribution to man To say the least, got a little out of hand Well, Lord Mr. Ford, what have you done Come away with me Lucille In my smoking, choking automobile
