The Town I Loved So Well Composer(s): Phil Coulter - B. Martin Performer(s): Phil Coulter
In my memory I will always see The town that I have loved so well Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall And we laughed through the smoke and smell Going home in the rain running up the dark lane Past the jail and down beside the fountain Those were happy days in so many many ways In the town I loved so well
In the early morn the shirt factory horn Called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog While the men on the dole played a mothers role Fed the children and then trained the dog And when times got tough, there was just about enough But they saw it through without complaining For deep inside was a burning pride In the town I loved so well
There was music there in the Derry air Like a language that we could all understand I remember the day when I earned my first pay as I played in a small pickup band There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth I was sad to leave it all behind me For I'd learned about life and I'd found a wife In the town I loved so well
But when I returned how my eyes were burned To see how a town could be brought to it's knees By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars And the gas that hangs on to every breeze Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher With their tanks and guns Oh my God, what have they done To the town I loved so well

Robinson Crusoe Composer(s): D. Zimmerman; G. Moroder; F. Jay Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Ich war noch ein Kind Da gab es für mich nur einen Mann Ich träumte von ihm Und sah ihn als einen Helden an
Und das war Robinson Crusoe Auf seiner Insel ganz allein Robinson Crusoe Ich dachte, "Herrlich, könnte ich nur bei ihm sein"
Mit siebzehn kam dann ein Freund Und den fand ich wunderbar Weil er so wie ich romantisch Und voller Träume war
Wir spielten Robinson Crusoe Abends im kleinen Park zu zwei'n Robinson Crusoe Und das war herrlich denn ich durfte bei ihm sein
Eines Abends hat er mich dann geküsst Was doch gar nicht im Buch geschrieben ist Doch dann begann erst die schönste Zeit Denn wir lieben uns noch heut'
Dank unser'm Robinson Crusoe Auf seiner Insel ganz allein Robinson Crusoe Sind wir zusammen und wir werden's immer sein Robinson Crusoe Sind wir zusammen und wir werden's immer sein
The Torture Never Stops Composer(s): Frank Zappa Performer(s): Frank Zappa
Flies all green and buzzin' in this dungeon of despair Prisoners grumble and piss their clothes and scratch their matted hair A tiny light, from a window hole a hundred yards away is all they ever gets to know about the regular light in the day
And it stinks so bad, the stones been chokin' and weepin' greenish drops In the room where the giant fire puffer works and the torture never stops
The torture never stops
Slime and rot, rats and snot and vomit on the floor Fifty yoogly soldiers, man holdin' spears by the iron door Knives and spikes, and guns and the likes of every tool of pain And a sinister midget, with a bucket and a mop where the blood goes down the drain
And it stinks so bad, the stones been chokin' and weepin' greenish drops. In the room where the giant fire puffer works and the torture never stops
The torture never stops The torture... the torture... The torture never stops
Flies all green and buzzin' in this dungeon of despair An evil prince eats a steaming pig in a chamber right near there He eats the snouts and the trotters first The loins and the groins is soon dispersed His carvin' style is well rehearsed He stands and shouts
All men be cursed! All men be cursed! All men be cursed! All men be cursed!
And disagree? Well, no one durst
He's the best, of course, of all the worst Some wrong been done, he done it first
And it stinks so bad, his bones been chokin' and weepin' greenish drops In the night of the iron sausage where the torture never stops
The torture never stops The torture... the torture... The torture never stops
Flies all green and buzzin' in this dungeon of despair Who are all those people that he's locked away down there? Are they crazy? Are they sainted? Are they zeroes someone painted?
And it's never been explained since it first it was created But a dungeon, like a sin requires not but lockin' in of everything that's ever been Look at her Look at him
That's what's the deal we're dealin' in That's what's the deal we're dealin' in That's what's the deal we're dealin' in That's what's the deal we're dealin' in
Come The Day Composer(s): Bruce Woodley Performer(s): The Seekers; Judith Durham
I know that one day soon a song shall rise You'll hear it with the sleep still in your eyes You'll waken to a brand new day Can you hear bells ringin' Voices singin' Far away?
A time when every man will be as one A time to reach right out and touch the sun Come the day Freedom's still a thought within your mind The fleeting thing that some may never find It may be still a million miles away Can you hear bells ringin' Voices singin' Far away?
A time to live without doubt or fear Welcome to the happy world that will be here Come the day The trumpets of war will cease to blow The sound I hope that we may never know We're waiting for the day Can you hear bells ringin' Voices singin' Far away?
Lift up your voices and sing this song Let the whole world hear it loud and strong Can you hear bells ringin' Voices singin' Far away?

The Top Composer(s): Robert Smith Performer(s): The Cure
"I don't care" If only I could say that And not feel so sick and scared "I don't care" If only I could say that If only my eyes would close...
"It's Jesus brilliant" You used to laugh "Walking these gorgeous blocks... This top is the place Where nobody goes You just imagine You just imagine it all..."
Every day I lie here And know that it's true
All I really want is you
Please come back Please come back Like all the other ones do
Come Talk To Me Composer(s): Peter Gabriel Performer(s): Peter Gabriel; Jacob Moon
The wretched desert takes its form, the jackal proud and tight In search of you, I feel my way, through the slowest heaving night Whatever fear invents, I swear it make no sense I reach out through the border fence Come down, come talk to me
In the swirling, curling storm of desire unuttered words hold fast With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes towers built to last Darkness creeps in like a thief and offers no relief Why are you shaking like a leaf Come on, come talk to me
Ah please talk to me Won't you please talk to me We can unlock this misery Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can't you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me, come talk to me
The earthly power sucks shadowed milk from sleepy tears undone From nippled skin as smooth as silk the bugles blown as one You lie there with your eyes half closed like there's no one there at all There's a tension pulling on your face Come on, come talk to me
Won't you please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me
Don't you ever change your mind Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf and blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me, come talk to me
I can imagine the moment Breaking out through the silence All the things that we both might say And the heart it will not be denied 'Til we're both on the same damn side All the barriers blown away
I said please talk to me Won't you please come talk to me Just like it used to be Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me, come talk to me
I said please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me

The Tip Of My Fingers Composer(s): Bill Anderson First recording/First release by: Bill Anderson - 1960 Covered by multiple other artists
(I held you right on the tips of my fingers) I reached out my arms and I touched you With soft words I whispered your name I held you right on the tips of my fingers Ah, but that was as close as I came
My eyes had a vision of sweet lips Yielding beneath my command I had your love on the tips of my fingers But I let it slip right through my hands But I let it slip right through my hands
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking And I should have known from the start That it's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers To the love hidden deep in your heart To the love hidden deep in your heart
I had your love on the tips of my fingers But I let you slip right through my hands But I let you slip right through my hands

Robin Des Bois Composer(s): François Llenas; Francis Lopez Performer(s): Georges Guétary; Maurice Chevalier
C'était une fille adorable On l'appelait Marie-Suzon Elle avait un cur charitable Et des yeux couleur de chansons Un jour auprès d'un rivière Elle aperçu un beau garçon Et lui demanda sans manières Bel Etranger quel est ton nom?
On m'appelle Robin des Bois Je m'en vais par les champs et les bois Et je chante ma joie par dessus les toits
Je vous aime Marie-Suzon Le printemps nous prête le gazon Quand on aime il n'est besoin de maison Bel oiseau qui nous regarde gentiment Bel oiseau ferme les yeux c'est le moment
Car on m'appelle Robin des Bois Je m'en vais par les champs et les bois Et je chante ma joie par dessus les toits
En revenant vers son village L'esprit joyeux le cur léger Marie-Suzon sur son passage Son amie Jeanne a rencontré Jeanne aussi était amoureuse Car elle aimait le beau garçon Marie-Suzon un peu curieuse Lui demanda quel est son nom?
On l'appelle Robin des Bois Il s'en va par les champs et les bois Et il chante sa joie par dessus les toits
Mais tu pleures Marie-Suzon Si ton cur est pris par un garçon Dis le vite pour qu'on le jette en prison Bel oiseau je veux savoir quel est le nom De celui qui fait pleurer Marie-Suzon
On l'appelle Robin des Bois Il s'en va par les champs et les bois Il vous aime, mais il n'aime qu'une fois Mais il n'aime qu'une fois, mais il n'aime qu'une fois...

Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin' For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, Congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside And it is ragin' It'Il soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'
The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is Rapidly fadin' And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin'
