The Most Expensive Statue In The World
The Most Expensive Statue In The World
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Philip Bourneuf, Charles Dingle, Donald McClelland and Emile Renan
Citizens of New York, I greet you
With the hundred thousand dollar check
The money that my readers have contributed
For the pedestal of the statue
Citizens of New York, I greet you
With the news that soon our flag will be unfurled
On the most expensive statue in the world
On the most expensive statue in the world
When it's finally installed, tell us, what will it be called?
When it's finally installed, tell us, what will it be called?
When we finally install it
What's the diff'rence what we call it?
It's the best that money can buy
And will stand three hundred feet high
And I understand before we're through the cost may not be known
A hundred thousand dollars for the pedestal alone
And our flag will soon be unfurled
On the most expensive statue in the world
On the most expensive statue in the world
When it finally is claimed, tell us, what will it be named?
When it finally is claimed, tell us, what will it be named?
When at last we come to claim it
What's the diff'rence what we name it?
What's important is the expense
What it means in dollars and cents
From the French across the ocean it was sent to me and you
And now I'd like to call upon and hear a word or two
From our friend the French ambassador
Your honor, I speak not for my government, but my people
For it is not my government, but my people who give this statue
Creation of the genius of Bartholdi
May it arise in your harbor and give the light of
Liberty, equality, fraternity
Finally, when we install it, why don't we call it "Liberty"?
"The Statue of Liberty"!
"The Statue of Liberty"!
And the most expensive statue in the world!
And the most expensive statue in the world!

Chouette La Vie
Chouette La Vie
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Dès cordes d'une guitare magique
Un jour le rock est né
Il a traversé l'Atlantique
Et il m'a tout donné
Ce soir c'est jour de paie
Et on va s'éclater
Chouette la vie est drôle
Chouette la vie est drôle
Chouette la vie est drôle
Chouette la vie est drôle
En mettant dans le juke-box
Un bon vieux rock'n'roll
Les filles dans le drugstore
À chaque instant guettaient
Les bagnoles américaines
Où les gars frimaient
En se payant des glaces coca
Tout le monde dansait
Chouette la vie est drôle
Chouette la vie est drôle
Chouette la vie est drôle
Chouette la vie est drôle
En mettant dans le juke-box
Un bon vieux rock'n'roll
Ouais quand le rock a marqué nos vies
A tout jamais
Pour moi c'était bien clair
Je devais le chanter
Durant ma vie entière
Il ne m'a pas quitté
Il faut l'aimer en étant sincère
Pour le mériter
On est en vie comme un vrai rocker
Pour l'éternité
Ce soir c'est jour de paie
Et on va s'éclater
Chouette la vie est drôle
Chouette la vie est drôle
Chouette la vie est drôle
Chouette la vie est drôle
En mettant dans le juke-box
Un bon vieux rock'n'roll
Chouette la vie est drôle
Chouette la vie est drôle
Chouette la vie est drôle
Chouette la vie est drôle
En mettant dans le juke-box
Un bon vieux rock'n'roll
La vie est drôle

Red, Red Wine
Red, Red Wine
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
Red red wine
go to my head
make me forget that I
still need her so
Red red wine
it's up to you
all I can do, I've done
but memories won’t go
No memories won’t go
I'd have sworn
that with time
thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong
and I find
just one thing makes me forget
Red red wine
stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
it's tearing apart
my blue, blue heart
I'd have sworn
that with time
thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong
and I find
just one thing makes me forget
Red red wine
stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
it's tearing apart
my blue, blue heart

The Most Beguiling Eyes
The Most Beguiling Eyes
Composer(s): Stephen Fearing
Performer(s): Clive Gregson & Christine Collister
You have the most beguiling eyes
that I have ever seen
They can catch me up and spin me
and leave me in a dream
Though the words you speak are truthful
you know, you hurt me when you say
that the time you spend with me
is but a small part of your day
It seems that i'm the one
that always comes a calling
and I'm asking you away
from other friends
but I'm waiting for the sounds
of your step outside my door
when the sun is setting low
and the evening ends...
I have always thaught
that the picture's what you make it
and I've always believed
that my actions were my own
Tell me can you see
that to give without recieving
is bound to leave my heart
like a piece of molten stone
Because it seems that I'm the one
that always comes a-calling
and I'm asking you away
from other friends
But Im waiting for the sounds
of your step outside my door
when the sun is setting low
and the evening ends...

Choro Bandido
Choro Bandido
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Edú Lobo
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and multiple other artists
Mesmo que os cantores sejam falsos como eu
Serão bonitas, não importa
São bonitas as canções
Mesmo miseráveis os poetas
Os seus versos serão bons
Mesmo porque as notas eram surdas
Quando um deus sonso e ladrão
Fez das tripas a primeira lira
Que animou todos os sons
E daí nasceram as baladas
E os arroubos de bandidos como eu
Cantando assim
Você nasceu para mim
Você nasceu para mim
Mesmo que você feche os ouvidos
E as janelas do vestido
Minha musa vai cair em tentação
Mesmo porque estou falando grego
Com sua imaginação
Mesmo que você fuja de mim
Por labirintos e alçapões
Saiba que os poetas como os cegos
Podem ver na escuridão
E eis que, menos sábios do que antes
Os seus lábios ofegantes
Hão de se entregar assim
Me leve até o fim
Me leve até o fim
Mesmo que os romances sejam falsos como o nosso
São bonitas, não importa
São bonitas as canções
Mesmo sendo errados os amantes
Seus amores serão bons

Red Red Rose
Red Red Rose
Composer(s): David Mallett
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; David Mallett
You may wonder if you know me
You may wonder if I care
Or if I'll leave you sad and lonely
Or if I'll always be right there
Well, there's no need for doubt now, darlin'
'Cause I have come to know
This love of ours is no common flower
You know this love is like a red, red rose
And you may wonder about this dreamer
If she's all you thought she'd be
And, oh, if anything but someday
Ever comes from lovin' me
But hold me close and tell me darlin'
That you have come to know
This love I bring you is no common thing
You know this love is like a red, red rose
When you're all caught up in sweet surrender
Simple truth is sometimes hard to see
Here between the tough times and the tender
It all comes down to you and me
And you may see my heart of darkness
I may stumble now and again
But underneath this heart of darkness
There's a heart that's lovin' you right till the end
So hold me close, come hold me, darlin'
'Cause I want you to know
This love of ours is no common flower
You know this love is like a red, red rose
This love of ours is no common flower
You know this love is like a red, red rose

The Morning Side Of The Mountain
The Morning Side Of The Mountain
Composer(s): Dick Manning - Larry Stock
Performer(s): Tommy Edwards
and multiple other artists
There was a girl, there was a boy
If they had met they might have found a world of joy
But she lived on the morning side of the mountain
And he lived on the twilight side of the hill
They never met, they never kissed
And they will never know what happiness they missed
For she lived on the morning side of the mountain
And he lived on the twilight side of the hill
For love's a rose that never grows
Without the kiss of the morning dew
And every Jack must have a Jill
To know the thrill of a dream that comes true
And you and I are just like they
For all we know our love is just a kiss away
But you are on the morning side of the mountain
And I am on the twilight side of the hill
For love's a rose that never grows
Without the kiss of the morning dew
And every Jack must have a Jill
To know the thrill of a dream that comes true
And you and I are just like they
For all we know our love is just a kiss away
But you are on the morning side of the mountain
And I am on the twilight side of the hill

Chopin
Chopin
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey - Penny Els
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Heel zachtjes sluipt de nacht de dag voorbij
Concerto van de dag vervaagd en zwijgt
Een betoverende sonate van Chopin
Verjaagt m'n eenzaamheid
Heel zachtjes sluipt de nacht de dag voorbij
Met beelden uit een lang vervlogen tijd
Chopin vertolkt z'n angsten en z'n pijn
En ik, ik wou dat jij bij mij kon zijn
Geen woorden kunnen zeggen wat ik voel
Want woorden zijn berekend en te koel
Alleen Chopin begrijpt wat in mij leeft
En die eindeloze leegte met me deelt
Heel zachtjes klopt de nacht tot bij me aan
M'n ogen worden zwaar
M'n geest vertraagt
En als Chopin me dan ook nog verlaat
Laat ik je eindelijk gaan
Heel zachtjes glijdt de wind aan mij voorbij
Ik laat je terug gaan naar die andere tijd
Zolang Chopin m'n pijn niet meer ophoudt
Verlang ik niet dat jij naast mij ontwaakt

Red Wing
Red Wing
Composer(s): Thurland Chattaway; Irving Mills
Performer(s): Bob Wills;
and various other artists
There once was an Indian maid a shy little prairie maid
who sang all day a love song gay as through the fields she'd while the hours away
She loved an Indian brave this shy little prairie maid
and then one day he rode away to battle far away..
{Chorus}
Oh the moon shines tonight on pretty Red Wing
the breeze is sighing, the night birds crying
For a far far away her brave is dying
and Red Wings's crying her heart away
She watched for him day and night
She kept all the campfires bright
And under the sky
Each night she would lie
And dream about his coming by and by
But when all the braves returned the heart of Red Wing yearned
for far far away her warrior brave fell bravely in the fray
{chorus}
Now the Moon shines tonight on pretty Red Wing
the breeze is sighing, the night birds crying
for a far'neath his star her brave is sleeping
while Redwing's weeping her heart away

The Morning After
The Morning After (aka The Song from 'The Poseidon Adventure')
Composer(s): Al Kasha - Joel Hirschhorn
First performance: Renée Amand - 1972
There's got to be a morning after
If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine
Let's keep on looking for the light
Oh, can't you see the morning after
It's waiting right outside the storm
Why don't we cross the bridge together
And find a place that's safe and warm
It's not too late, we should be giving
Only with love can we climb
It's not too late, not while we're living
Let's put our hands out in time
There's got to be a morning after
We're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow
And we'll escape the darkness
We won't be searching anymore
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to...

The rare delight of the sight
Of you for
The more I see you
The more I want you
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows
With every sigh
I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes
Can you imagine how much I love you?
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try

The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
First release by: Joe Cocker - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
See her how she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold
Once the sun did shine
Lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
And the moon's a harsh mistress
It's so hard to love her well
I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face
Yes, I did, and I -- I tripped and I missed my star
God, I fell and I fell alone, I fell alone
And the moon's a harsh mistress
And the sky is made of stone
The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own

Red Shoes By The Drugstore
Red Shoes By The Drugstore
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Tom Waits; The Wedding Present
She wore red shoes by the drugstore
as the rain splashed the nickel
spilled like chablis along the midway
theres a little bluejay
in a red dress, on a sad night
one straw in a rootbeer
a compact with a cracked mirror
and a bottle of evening in paris perfume
he told her to wait in by the magazines
he had to take care of some buisness it seems
bring a raincoat and a suitcase
and your dark eyes
and wear those red shoes
theres a dark huddle at the bus stop
umbrellas arranged in a sad bouquet
li'l cesaer got caught
he was going down to second
he was cooled
changing stations on the chamber
to steal a diamond
from a jewelry store for his baby
he loved the way she looked in those red shoes
she waited by the drugstore
cesaer had never been this late before
and the dogs bayed the moon
and rattled their chains
and the cold jingle of taps in a puddle
was the burglar alarm
snitchin on ceasar
now the rain washes memories from the sidewalks
and the hounds splash down the nickel
full of soldiers
and santa claus is drunk in the ski room
and it's christmas eve in a sad cafe
when the moon gets this way
there's a little blue jay
by the newstand
wearing red shoes
so meet me tonight by the drugstore
we're goin out tonight
wear your red shoes
