Cäsars Tod (Rom War Eine Stadt) Composer(s): Kurt Weill Performer(s): Ute Lemper
Rom war eine Stadt, und alle Römer hatten in den Adern heißes Blut Als sie Cäsar einst tyrannisch reizte kochte es sofort in Siedeglut
Nicht die Warnung konnte Cäsar hindern "Hüte vor des Märzes Iden dich!" Er verfolgte seine frechen Ziele und sah schon als Herrn der Römer sich
Immer schlimmer schlug ihn die Verblendung nur sein Wort galt noch im Capitol Und den weisen Rat der Senatoren schmähte er gemein und höhnisch Kohl
Da kam stolzes Römerblut ins Wallen Selbst der Freund bleibt keinem Cäsar treu wenn ihn dieser nur für seine Zwecke kalt mißbraucht und sagt es ohne Scheu
Heimlich trafen nachts sich die Verschwörer und beredeten voll Eifer sich Und genau am Tag der Märzesiden gab ihm Brutus den verdienten Stich
Cäsar sank von seinem Sitz und stierte seinen Mörder an, als obs nicht wahr "Et tu, Brute" rief er auf lateinisch wie es dort die Landessprache war
Lasse keiner sich vom Wahn verführen daß er mehr als jeder andre gelt Cäsar wollte mit dem Schwert regieren und ein Messer hat ihn selbst gefällt
Flowers Are Red Composer(s): Harry Chapin Performer(s): Harry Chapin; Zain Bhikha; Tom Chapin; Iain MacKintosh
The little boy went first day of school He got some crayons and started to draw He put colors all over the paper For colors was what he saw And the teacher said.. What you doin' young man I'm paintin' flowers he said She said... It's not the time for art young man And anyway flowers are green and red There's a time for everything young man And a way it should be done You've got to show concern for everyone else For you're not the only one
And she said... Flowers are red young man Green leaves are green There's no need to see flowers any other way Than they way they always have been seen
But the little boy said... There are so many colors in the rainbow So many colors in the morning sun So many colors in the flower and I see every one
Well the teacher said.. You're sassy There's ways that things should be And you'll paint flowers the way they are So repeat after me.....
And she said... Flowers are red young man Green leaves are green There's no need to see flowers any other way Than they way they always have been seen
But the little boy said... There are so many colors in the rainbow So many colors in the morning sun So many colors in the flower and I see every one
The teacher put him in a corner She said.. It's for your own good.. And you won't come out 'til you get it right And are responding like you should Well finally he got lonely Frightened thoughts filled his head And he went up to the teacher And this is what he said.. and he said
Flowers are red, green leaves are green There's no need to see flowers any other way Than the way they always have been seen
Time went by like it always does And they moved to another town And the little boy went to another school And this is what he found The teacher there was smilin' She said... Painting should be fun And there are so many colors in a flower So let's use every one
But that little boy painted flowers In neat rows of green and red And when the teacher asked him why This is what he said.. and he said
Flowers are red, green leaves are green There's no need to see flowers any other way Than the way they always have been seen

Let me tell you 'bout that jive type
That jive type
Casanova brown
I met him at a party
He said the sweetest things when he hit on me
Wrapped up in his arms
I was blinded by his charm and I couldn't see
Like the story of little red riding hood
The big bad wolf was up to
Up to no good, woo, no
That jive type, that jive type
Casanova brown
He hit on me and he'll hit on you
That jive type, that jive type
Casanova brown
I was lonely and naive
I guess that's why I believed every word he says
It felt so good to hear
Every time he said he cared it went straight to my head
He loved me and left me
But I can't deny
His love was so doggone good
I still, I still love that guy, ooh, [oh no] hey
That jive type, that jive type
Casanova brown
He hit on me and he'll hit on you, watch out

Casanova brown
I was sittin' there mindin' my business
Feelin' good, checkin' things out
Sippin' on little wine [jive type, that jive type]
Then I spotted
Super cool dude cross the room diggin' on me
I tried to pretend like I didn't even see him
But he was so fine
He took my hand and started to dancin'
I know he felt me fallin' for him
'cause he kept holdin' me tighter and tighter, ooh
Sure was nice
Girl, my head was all turned around, oh
I didn't know what I was gettin' into, ooh, ow
Up to no good, oh no
That jive type, that jive type
Casanova brown
That jive type, that jive type
Casanova brown
Like the story of little red riding hood
The big bad wolf was up to
Up to no good, woo, oh
That jive type, that jive type

Not a glimmer Now you´re nothing But second hand In glove With second rate now Now you´re flirting With heroin - Or is it cocaine? Casanova - Is that your name Or do you live there? I know my place Is here with you Tonight But not together

That she said to me as she holds my hand And reads the lines of a stranger Yeah and she knows my name yeah she knows my plan In the past in the present and for the future
Oh honey now I think I'm starting to believe the things that I've heard 'Cause tonight in Casa Dega I hang on every word
That she said...
Baby fools pay the price of a whisper in the night in Casa Dega Time rolls by, night is only night, can I save you?

I am the eagle, I live in high country In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky
I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers But time is still turning they soon will be dry And all those who see me and all who believe in me Share in the freedom I feel when I fly
Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops Sail over the canyons and up to the stars And reach for the heavens and hope for the future And all that we "can" be, not what we are

and multiple other artists
C'e' una casa bianca che che mai più io scorderò mi rimane dentro il cuore con la mia gioventù
Era tanto tempo fa ero bimba e di dolore io piangevo nel mio cuore non volevo entrare là
Tutti i bimbi come me hanno qualche cosa che di terror li fa tremare e non sanno che cos'è
Quella casa bianca che non vorrebbero lasciare e' la loro gioventù che mai più ritornerà
Tutti i bimbi come me hanno qualche cosa che di terror li fa tremare e non sanno che cos'è
E' la bianca casa che che mai più io scorderò mi rimane dentro il cuore con la mia gioventù
