Ognuno ha il suo tamburo un solo ritmo un canto della comune solitudine che noi mettemmo insieme a starci un poco accanto su questa via dell'abitudine
il tempo vince sempre il tempo lui soltanto si muove e noi restiamo immobili finché ci porta un suono atteso chissà quanto e ci promettiamo indivisibili
alberi che sfilano come persone care fantasmi della strada devi prendere o lasciare si comunque vada non come volevi battono i tamburi battono più lontani e' giusto così non chiesi mai qualcuno che comprasse la mia infelicità (tam tam tam) non piansi mai davanti alla tristezza ma versi l'onestà (tam tam tam)
dimmelo anche tu che il tempo non ci ha sconosciuto male e bene mio che dopo ti hanno amato meglio si ma non di più di tutto il poco che ho potuto io
vieni padre mio usciamo a fare un giro e guida tu e guarda avanti e non parliamo più albero padre con un ramo solo
e come tutto torna e come tutto passa le cose cambiano per vivere e vivono per cambiare il mare s'alza e abbassa
ed ogni giorno siamo dietro ad una cassa a dare il resto e poi sorridere un ballo senza fiato se la banda passa e finché non smetti di rincorrere
le storie muoiono quando c'e' più paura di perdersi che voglia di tenersi e com'e' dura quella soglia e come siamo noi i diversi cambiano le scene cambiano le battute e anche i battuti io non potrò incontrarvi in nessun luogo in nessun'altra età (tam tam tam) fermar l'urgenza del mio cuore il cuore di un uomo a metà (tam tam tam)
pensa amore mio che t'insegnai mille altri cieli e non seppi mai soffiarti il vento sulle ali aspettai un addio e il giorno di lasciarmi ti lasciai
credi figlio mio mi mancano i tuoi baci che non ho e sono i soli baci che io so piccolo figlio
e tu compagno dalle orecchie a punta io ti parlai di me come a un fratello a cui ci si racconta io non ne avevo e allora presi te e quella tua sgomenta e nostra malattia di vivere
giura amico mio che glielo metteremo ancora lì a questa vita che va via così senza aspettarci
Mr. President (Have Pity On The Working Man) Composer(s): Randy Newman Performer(s): Randy Newman; Saint Paul & His Coalition of the Willing
We've taken all you've given It's getting hard to make a living Mister President, have pity on the working man
We ain't asking you to love us You may place yourself high above us Mister President, have pity on the working man
I know it may sound funny But people ev'rywhere running out of money We just cant make it by ourself
It is cold and the wind is blowing We need something to keep us going Mister President have pity on the working man
Maybe you're cheap Maybe you're blind Maybe you have lost your mind Maybe you only think about yourself
Too late to run, too late to cry now The time has come to say goodbye now Mister President, have pity on the working man Mister President, have pity on the working man
Go All The Way Composer(s): Eric Carmen Performer(s): The Raspberries; and various other artists
I never knew how complete love could be Till she kissed me and said "Baby, please go all the way It feels so right Being with you here tonight Please, go all the way Just hold me close Don't ever let me go"
I couldn't say what I wanted to say Till she whispered, "I love you so Please go all the way It feels so right Being with you here tonight Please, go all the way Just hold me close Don't ever let me go"
Before her love I was cruel and mean I had a hole in the place where my heart should have been But now I've changed And it feels so strange I come alive when she does all those things to me And she says "Come on" (Come on) "Come on" (Come on) "Come on" (Come on) "Come on" (Come on) "I need you" (Come on) "I love you" (Come on) "I need you" (Come on)
Please, go all the way It feels so right being with you here tonight Please, go all the way Just hold me close Don't ever let me go
Tamborine Composer(s): Prince Performer(s): Prince & the Revolution
Oh my God here U are Prettiest thing in life I've ever seen Close my eyes what's it like What's it like inside your tamborine?
Oh my God, there I go Falling in love with the face in a magazine (uh oh, not again) All alone by myself Me and I play my tamborine
Tamborine Tamborine Tamborine Tamborine Long days, lonely nights Tamborine Long days, lonely nights Tamborine

Love is so easy to play, but so hard to win You're still a young man, you're heart will love again (It takes one) Little kiss from her sweet tender lips (It takes one) Gentle touch from her soft fingertips It takes more than one tear, to mend a broken heart (A broken heart)

Zé qualquer tava sem samba, sem dinheiro Sem Maria sequer Sem qualquer paradeiro Quando encontrou um samba Inútil e derradeiro Numa inútil e derradeira Velha nota de um cruzeiro
``Seu Marquês'', ``seu'' Almirante Do semblante meio contrariado Que fazes parado No meio dessa nota de um cruzeiro rasgado ``Seu Marquês'', ``seu'' Almirante Sei que antigamente era bem diferente Desculpe a liberdade E o samba sem maldade Deste Zé qualquer Perdão Marquês de Tamandaré Pedrão Marquês de Tamandaré
Pois é, Tamandaré A maré não tá boa Vai virar a canoa E este mar não dá pé, Tamandaré Cadê as batalhas Cadê as medalhas Cadê a nobreza Cadê a marquesa, cadê Não diga que o vento levou Teu amor até
Pois é, Tamandaré A maré não tá boa Vai virar a canoa E este mar não dá pé, Tamandaré Meu marquês de papel Cadê teu troféu Cadê teu valor Meu caro almirante O tempo inconstante roubou
Zé quaquer tornou-se amigo do marquês Solidário na dor Que eu contei a vocês Menos que queira ou mais faça É o fim do samba, é o fim da raça Zé qualquer tá caducando Desvalorizando Como o tempo passa, passando Virando fumça, virando Caindo em desgraça, caindo Sumindo, saindo da praça Passando, sumindo Saindo da praça

Glück Ist Wie Ein Schmetterling
((Adapted from: Love Is Like A Butterfly (by Dolly Parton) - 1974))
Composer(s): Dolly Parton - Ralf Arnie
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri - 1977

Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon Sowie ein bunter Luftballon Den man nicht halten kann
Es ist mein allerliebster Gast Der leider fortgeht ab und zu Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du
Ich spür in deiner Nähe Wie gut ich dich verstehe Und wär so gern für immer Und alle Zeit bei dir
Doch wenn ich ganz alleine bin Und traurig und ganz klein bin Mit meinen dummen Träumen Dann sage ich zu mir
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon Sowie ein bunter Luftballon Den man nicht halten kann
Es ist mein allerliebster Gast Der leider fortgeht ab und zu Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du
Ich schaue in den Garten Wo tausend Blumen warten Das sie sich wärmen können Im Sommersonnenschein
Dann kommen bunte Falter Als ihre Unterhalter Doch bringt ein Tag nur Regen Dann bleiben sie allein
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon Sowie ein bunter Luftballon Den man nicht halten kann
Es ist mein allerliebster Gast Der leider fortgeht ab und zu Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du

Mr. Moon Composer(s): Hugh Nicholson Performer(s): Blue
Last night Mr. Moon came calling He laid his silver just as sun was falling Sprinkled sparkling stardust in the sky So I pulled up close to the riverside Picked some sticks for firelight And sat and watched the sparks flying high
Oh, and it made me feel good Just to watch the burning wood As I sat and looked at my reflection Well I know I'm not so trouble free But on that night, I had to be The stars they commanded me to smile
Oh, and it made me feel good Just to watch the burning wood As I sat and looked on my reflection Well I maybe right and I maybe wrong But I got music for a little song When I gazed upon the magic moonlight night
Glory Glory Composer(s): Eddie Brigati; Felix Cavaliere Performer(s): The Rascals
I saw a child He was carrying a light I asked where it came from He blew it right out His eyes looked into me His voice was a song He said tell me tell me do you Know where it's gone
(Chorus) Glory, Glory My eyes have seen the mountain My soul can sing the song Glory, Glory Singing Hallelujah The truth is marching on
Every morn' the sun lights us all The trees ask for nothing They just let their fruit fall Fire's the same no matter What the source The flame of life burns on It's never, never lost

Mr. Monday Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter

And I know hes very poor He looks at the street through his window He watches the people pass by He loves little dogs and children And he never tells a lie Hes Mister Monday ...

I am a man who would fight for your honor I'll be the hero you're dreaming of We'll live forever knowing together That we did it all for the glory of love
You keep me standing tall You help me through it all I'm always strong when you're beside me I have always needed you I could never make it alone

It's like a knight in shining armor From a long time ago Just in time I will save the day Take you to my castle far away
I am the man who will fight for your honor I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of We're gonna live forever knowing together That we did it all for the glory of love
We live forever knowing together That we did it all for the glory of love
We did it all for love We did it all for love We did it all for love We did it all for love...
