Practice Makes Perfect


Practice Makes Perfect
Composer(s): Ernest Gold; Don Roberts
Performer(s): Billie Holiday;
and various other artists



If practice makes perfect
Let's try that old embrace
In some romantic place
Where we can take our time

If practice makes perfect
Just close you eyes again
We'll try those sighs again
And make them more sublime

We're in love's kindergarten
Learning from a to z
And if it's fun just starting
Think what it's going to be

If practice makes perfect
Let's have that kiss again
We mustn't miss again
We're not doing bad right now

We're in love's kindergarten
Learning from a to z
And if it's fun just starting
Think what it's going to be

If practice makes perfect
Let's have that kiss again
We mustn't miss again
We're not doing bad
Let's practice some more
We're not doing bad right now

(English, French, & German Versions: Makin' Love; T'aimer Follement; So Verrückt
Composer(s): Floyd Robinson - De Simone
Performer(s): Daldida



Tu vuoi bene a me
Io ne veglio a te
C'e' chi vede in questo tutto il male che non c'e'
Dolcemente t'amero', t'amero'
Notte giorno t'amero', t'amero'

C'e' chi dice che
Quando sei con me
Anche se ti guardo con gli sguardi bacio te
Dolcemente t'amero', t'amero'
Notte e giorno t'amero', t'amero'

La gente parla ma
In fondo cosa fa
Se e' tutto tanto dolce nella nostra luminosa realita'

Dolcemente t'amero', t'amero'
Notte e giorao t'amero', t'amero'

Quando non ci sei
Penso che verrai
Ti ho sempre nel moi cuore amore non mi lasci mai
Dolcemente t'amero', t'amero'
Notte e giorao t'amero', t'amero'

Tu vivrai per me
Io vivro per te
Tutto sarà bello assai più bello li' con me
Dolcemente t'amero', t'amero'
Notte e giorno t'amero', t'amero'

Il tempo passerà
Ma niente cambierà
E tutto in fondo al cuore come il nostro primo giorno resterà

Dolcemente t'amero', t'amero'
Notte e giorno t'amero', t'amero'
Dolcemente t'amero', t'amero'
Notte e giorno t'amero', t'amero'

How do you treat you own woman back home
She got to be herself
So she can free herself

T'aimer Follement


T'aimer Follement
(English, German, & Italian Versions: Makin' Love; So Verrückt; T'amero' Dolcemente)
Composer(s): Floyd Robinson - André Salvet - Jacques Plait
Performer(s): Dalida



Tout autour de nous
Les gens sont jaloux
Ils me reprochent surtout
D'avoir pour toi des yeux trop doux
Et de t'aimer follement
Mon amour
De t'aimer follement
Nuit et jour

Ça n'est pas gentil
Mais ça m'est égal
Je me moque de ce qu'on dit
Car moi je trouve que c'est normal
De t'aimer follement
Mon amour
De t'aimer follement
Nuit et jour

Je pense à chaque instant
Que tout peut m'arriver
Mais mon cœur ne peut changer
Il sera toujours vraiment content
De t'aimer follement
Mon amour
De t'aimer follement
Nuit et jour

Un jour si tu veux
On peut partir tous deux
Partir en se moquant
De ceux qui enragent en nous voyant
Nous aimer follement
Mon amour
Nous aimer follement
Nuit et jour

Ah que la vie est douce
Quand on est amoureux
Un rien me rend heureux
Le ciel est plus bleu et tout me pousse
À t'aimer follement
Mon amour
À t'aimer follement
Nuit et jour

Mais quand tu n'es pas là
Je pense encore à toi
Car je sais que tu reviendras
Et personne au monde ne m'empêchera
De t'aimer follement
Mon amour
De t'aimer follement
Nuit et jour

Power Play


Power Play
Composer(s): John Kay
Performer(s): Steppenwolf; Etta James



What gives you the right hey you
To stand there and tell me what to do
Tell me who gave you the power
To stop me from living like I do
Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away
Don't bite the hand that feeds you

Just one time I'd like to be somewhere where
None of your clever lies fill the air
I'm tired of your frozen smile and your voice of tin
Just might all gang up on you
Turn the knob and do you in

Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away
Don't bite the hand that feeds you

This never ending power play
"between Jealous greed and vicious hate
Is grinding us like giant millstones
But it can't be our only fate
It's time we got our heads together
And let them know that we're awake

Those in the dark, you know they're no longer blind
They're breaking from your strangle hold on their minds
Those that can see don't need no one to cross the street
Be careful who you're pushing round
They just might find you obsolete

Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away
Don't bite the hand that feeds you

Arm in arm mit dir geh ich durch Paris
Und die grauen strassen sind für uns das paradies

Auf dem boulevard sehn wir blumen blühn
Und am hellen tag sehn wir die goldnen sterne glühn
So verrückt bin ich nach dir mon amour
So verrückt bist du nach mir mon amour

Und in deiner näh' höre ich musik
Doch wenn wir uns küssen werd ich toll vor lauter glück
So verrückt bin ich nach dir mon amour
So verrückt bist du nach mir mon amour

Wenn Du Da Bist


Wenn Du Da Bist
Composer(s): Werner Böhmler
First performance by: Marty Brem - 1981



Wenn du fort bist, und all' die Vögel singen doch
Wenn du fort bist, und die Blumen blühen doch
Wenn ich einsam, und all' die Menschen um mich her tun
Als ob nichts geschehen wär'...

Wenn du fort bist, hör' ich das Vogelsingen nicht
Wenn du fort bist, ist selbst die Sonne trübes Licht
Was ich tue, es ist alles ward und leer
Dann fehlst du mir so sehr

Doch wenn du da bist, und ich atme deine Naehe
Mir ganz nah bist, und ich in die Augen sehe
Wenn du da bist, und ich dich in die Arme nehme
Dann vergessen wir die Welt ringsum uns her
Wenn du da bist, seh ich die Bäume wieder blühen
Wenn du da bist, seh ich die Blumen wieder blühen
Wenn du da bist, ja denn wünsch' ich mir so sehr
Bitte geh nicht fort nie mehr

Wenn du fort bist, laufe ich ohne Ziel umher
Ganz verloren, fül' ich mich ausgehoellt und leer
Wenn du fort bist, habe ich keine Plaene mehr
Dann fehlst du mir so sehr

Doch wenn du da bist, und ich atme deine Naehe
Mir ganz nah bist, und ich in die Augen sehe
Wenn du da bist, und ich dich in die Arme nehme
Dann vergessen wir die Welt ringsum uns her
Wenn du da bist, seh ich die Bäume wieder blühen
Wenn du da bist, seh ich die Blumen wieder blühen
Wenn du da bist, ja denn wünsch' ich mir so sehr
Bitte geh nicht fort nie mehr

Power In The Music


Power In The Music
Composer(s): Burton Cummings; Domenic Troiano
Performer(s): The Guess Who



Round about ‘20 the folks had plenty
No, they couldn’t ask for too much more
The Fatha kept thumpin’ and The Satch got jumpin’
And they rang right through with a roar
Then around ‘30 when things got dirty
All the players meant a whole lot more
The Duke got stompin’ and The Count started rompin’
And what do you think it was for?

They put power in the music, and boy, you oughta hear it now
They put power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how...

Round about ‘40 when things got sporty
They were dancin’ every night till dawn
The Bird got ‘em hoppin’ with his crazy be-boppin’
And Frankie crooned on and on
Then around ‘50 when folks got nifty
They were gettin’ round to bendin’ an ear
Chuck was duck-walkin’ and The King got rockin’
And what do you think was here?

They got power in the music, and boy, you oughta hear it now
They got power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how...

Then Four Boys made a brand new noise, from far beyond the sea
We loved All Four and we yelled for more, it was natural as could be
Watts went up and loose ends went down, now it’s anything it wants to be

We got power in the music, and boy you oughta hear it now
We got power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how
Don’t you know they gave it power, power in the music
Yay, Yay, Yay
Can’t you feel it giving you now, power in the music
Yay, Yay, Yay
Can’t you feel it growing every day, power in the music
Yaz, Yaz, Yaz
Don’t you feel it disbursing, power in the music
Yay, Yay, Yay
You see them dancing up and down now, there’s power in the music
Yay, Yay, Yay
I feel it growing every day now, there’s power in the music
Yaz, Yaz, Yaz

So Tired


So Tired
Composer(s): Russ Morgan - Jack Stuart
Performer(s): Gene Austin
and multiple other artists



So tired of waiting for you
So tired of longing for you
Tired of waiting
Saving my love for you

So tired of dreaming daydreams
So tired of only play schemes
Why don’t you call me
Call me tonight my dear

Tell me that your thoughts are all of me sweetheart
All day long I wonder why we’re far apart

So tired of dreaming of you
So tired of waiting for you
But though I’m tired
I’ll wait forever dear

So tired of dreaming of you
So tired of waiting for you
But though I’m tired
I’ll wait forever dear

Power And The Passion


Power And The Passion
Composer(s): Peter Garrett; Rob Hirst; Jim Moginie
Performer(s): Midnight Oil



People, wasting away in paradise
Going backward, once in a while
Moving ahead, falling behind
What do you believe, what do you believe
What do you believe is true
Nothing they say makes a difference this way
Nothing they say will do

Take all the trouble that you can afford
At least you won't have time to be bored

Oh the power and the passion, oh the temper of the time
Oh the power and the passion
Sometimes you've got to take the hardest line

Sunburnt faces around, with skin so brown
Smiling zinc cream and crowds, Sundays the beach never a cloud
Breathing eucalypt, pushing panel vans
Stuff and munch junk food
Laughing at the truth, cos Gough was tough til he hit the rough
Uncle Sam and John were quite enough

Too much of sunshine too much of sky
It's enough to make you want to cry

Oh the power...

I see buildings, clothing the sky, in paradise
Sydney, nights are warm
Daytime telly, blue rinse dawn
Dad's so bad he lives in the pub, it's a underarms and football clubs
Flat chat, Pine Gap, in every home a Big Mac
And no one goes outback, that's that
You take what you get and get what you please
It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees

Oh the power...

Euro-Vision


Euro-Vision
Composer(s): Michel Moers - Dan Lacksman - Marc Moulin First performance by: Télex - 1980



Beaux messieurs, belles dames
Musique au programme
Chanteurs, à vos gammes
Que le meilleur gagne

Les frontières sont ouvertes
Que déclarer si ce soir c'est la fête?
Les vedettes sont inquiètes
Elles se maquillent
Fument une cigarette
Avant d'aller sur la sellette

Eurovision, Eurovision, Eurovision
Eurovision, Eurovision, Eurovision

Vieille Europe acclame le pays qui gagne
Puis verse une larme, c'est la fin du charme

Les yeux du monde entier guettent, impatients
Les flashs télévisés
Qui vont leur annoncer
Par satellites et par câbles blindés
Ce qui se passe en leurs contrées

Eurovision, Eurovision, Eurovision
Eurovision, Eurovision, Eurovision

Eurovision, Eurovision, Eurovision

Power


Power
Composer(s): R. Goodrum; Steve Morse; Steve Walsh
Performer(s): Kansas



Sometimes a smile can deceive
the one who has made you promise
Suddenly you can't believe, the truth only leaves you cold
Sometimes the answers you fear are there on the face in the mirror
Something the world needs to hear but no one is even listening

Power
It takes
Power
Power
It takes
Power
To back up the things you say
Power
It takes
Power
Power
It takes
Power
To cut through the chains
Breakaway

Fortune can werar a disguise
Pride is a grand illusion
And when it's your name up in lights fate proves this one conclusion
Sometimes the answers you fear are there on the face in the mirror
Something the world needs to hear the truth only leaves you cold

Power
It takes
Power
Power
It takes
Power
To back up the things you say
Power
It takes
Power
Power
It takes
Power
To cut through the chains
Breakaway
Power
It takes
Power
Power
It takes
Power
To fight back and not be afraid
Power
It takes
Power
Power
It takes
Power
To cut through the chains
Breakaway

All that you see someday will be
Lost in the shadows of time
Mountains must fall
Someday this all
Will be darkness where light used to shine
All
I Wanted

You say it's time to stay behind
All I wanted was to hold you
All I wanted was to touch you

No need for blame cause we're not the same
All I wanted was to love you
That's all I wanted

How many times will it take
Hurting me the way you do
How many times till I break
You're hurting me the way
I'm loving you the way I do

It's not so strange for us to change
All I wanted was to love you
That's all I wanted

How many times will it take
Hurting me the way you do
How many times till I break
You're hurting me the way

I'm loving you the way I do

So Sad The Song


So Sad The Song
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Michael Masser
First release by: Gladys Knight & The Pips - 1976
Covered by: Teddy Pendergrass - 1984



I know that we both talked it over
and said, it's best to forget
We'll leave all our memories behind us
It's better that in the end

So sad the song
of too empty lives
when that moment of truth
suddenly arrives

And so sad the song
Of what might have been
You see a lifetime of dreams
scattered in the wind

Together
We belong together
Never was that one lovely word
easier to say

And so sad the song
of just remembering when
Knowing the love of your life
will never come again

So sad the song
That says, Goodbye

Together
We belong together
And now that you are forever
of that you can rely

So would it be wrong
to give our love
just one more try

So sad the song
That says
'Goodbye' (So sad the song)
That says
'Goodbye'

Powderfinger


Powderfinger
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Neil Young;
and various other artists



Look out Mama, there's a white boat coming down the river
With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail
I think you'd better call John 'cause it don't look like they're here
To deliver the mail
And it's less than a mile away
I hope they didn't come to stay
It's got numbers on the side and a gun
And it's making big waves

Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains
Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy Lou
So the powers that be left me here to do all the thinking
And I just turned twenty two
I was wondering what to do
And the closer they came the more those feelings grew

Daddy's rifle in my arms felt reassuring
He told me red means run son, numbers add up to nothing
But when that first shot hit the dock I saw it coming
Raised the rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder why
Then I saw black and my face flashed in the sky

Shelter me from the powder and the finger
Cover me in the thought that pulled the trigger
Just think of me as one who never figured
To fade away so young
With so much left undone
Remember me to my love, I know I'll miss her

Quédate Esta Noche


Quédate Esta Noche
Composer(s): José Antonio Martin
First performance by: Trigo Limpio - 1980



Duérmete junto a mi esta noche, quédate junto a mi esta noche
Quiéreme mucho a mi esta noche, yo seré para ti esta noche

Duérmete junto a mi esta noche, quédate junto a mi esta noche
Quiéreme mucho a mi esta noche, yo seré para ti esta noche

Suelta las llaves y pon la maleta de nuevo en su sitio otra vez
Piensa que no hay que enfadarse y menos marcharse sin decir porqué
Ven a mis brazos y dime que pasa, que quiero salvar nuestro amor
Si a caso tal vez cometí una falta, yo quiero pedirte perdón.

Duérmete junto a mi esta noche, quédate junto a mi esta noche
Quiéreme mucho a mi esta noche, yo seré para ti esta noche

Deja tus cosas y ven, que ya hablaremos después
Y ahora quédate aquí que te quiero decir
Cuánto te necesito mi amor
Juntos veremos los dos por este gran ventanal
La mañana llegar y sentarse a tus pies
Cuando estés disfrutando mi amor

Duérmete junto a mi esta noche, quédate junto a mi esta noche
Quiéreme mucho a mi esta noche, yo seré para ti esta noche

Duérmete junto a mi esta noche, quédate junto a mi esta noche
Quiéreme mucho a mi esta noche, yo seré para ti esta noche

Duérmete junto a mi esta noche, quédate junto a mi esta noche
Quiéreme mucho a mi esta noche, yo seré para ti esta noche

Apologies mean nothing
When the damage is done
But I can't switch off my loving

Pousse La Porte


Pousse La Porte
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Viens pousse la porte je suis là
Pousse la porte je t'attends comme autrefois
Lorsque parfois tu rentrais tard
Pour des raisons professionnelles
Où que tu oubliais le soir
Pour une fille occasionnelle
L'heure - et que moi je m'inquiétais

Viens pousse la porte je suis là
Pousse la porte que le jour entre avec toi
Je ne te dirai pas un mot
Qui de loin te semble un reproche
Je ravalerai mes sanglots
Et si je tremble à ton approche
Fais comme si de rien n'était

Je resterai tranquille et sage
Je n'aurai plus d'accès de rage
D'ailleurs tu ne vas pas le croire
J'ai fait réparer la guitare
Que jalouse j'avais brisée
Viens pousse la porte je suis là
Viens que l'amour entre avec toi

Viens pousse la porte je suis là
Pousse la porte que l'espoir revive en moi
Je serai calme et sans défaut
Et ne ferai plus de folies
J'ai mis de l'ordre comme il faut
Dans mes pensées et dans ma vie
Il ne me manque plus que toi

Viens pousse la porte je t'en prie
Pousse la porte et rend moi le goût à la vie
J'ai changé depuis ton départ
Me suis cent fois remise en cause
Tu verras qu'il n'est pas trop tard
J'ai compris mille et mille choses
J'étais si jeune souviens-toi

J'ai vécu mon passage à vide
A présent j'ai besoin d'un guide
Mais plus j'attends plus le temps passe
Et plus j'ai peur que tu m'effaces
Et pire encore que tu m'oublies
Viens ouvre la cage je suis là
Viens mon amour délivre-moi

So Sad


So Sad
Composer(s): Don Everly
First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



We used to have good times together
But now I feel them slip away
It makes me cry to see love die
So sad to watch good love go bad

Remember how you used to feel, dear
You said nothing could change your mind
It breaks my heart to see us part
So sad to watch good love go bad

Is it any wonder that I feel so blue ue, ue
When I know for certain that I'm losing you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou

Remember how you used to feel, dear
You said nothing could change your mind
It breaks my heart to see us part
So sad to watch good love go bad

So sad to watch good love go bad
