Private Hell


Private Hell
Composer(s): Paul Weller
Performer(s): The Jam



Closer than close, you see yourself
a mirrored image, of what you wanted to be
As each day goes by, a little more
you can't remember what it was you wanted anyway
The fingers feel the lines, they prod the space, your ageing face
The face that once was so beautiful, is still there but unrecognizable......
Private Hell

Private Hell

The man who you once loved is bald and fat, and seldom in, working late as usual
Your interest has waned, you feel the strain
the bed springs snap on the occasions he lies upon you
Close your eyes and think of nothing but.....
Private Hell

Private Hell

Think of Emma, wonder what she's doing
Her husband Terry, and your grandchildren
Think of Edward, who's still at college
You send him letters, which he doesn't acknowledge
'Cause he don't care, they don't care
'Cause they're all going through their own.....
Private Hell

Private Hell

The morning slips away in a valium haze
And catalogues, and numerous cups of coffee
In the afternoon the weekly food, is put in bags as you float off down the high street
The shop windows reflect, play a nameless host to a closet ghost
A picture of your fantasy, a victim of your misery and.....
Private Hell

Private Hell

Think of Emma, wonder what she's doing
Her husband Terry, and your grandchildren
Think of Edward, who's still at college
You send him letters, which he doesn't acknowledge
'Cause he don't care, they don't care
'Cause they're all going through their own.....
Private Hell

Private Hell

Alone at 6 o'clock you drop a cup
You see it smash, inside you crack
You can't go on, but you sweep it up
Safe at last inside your.....
Private Hell
Sanity at last inside your.....
Private Hell
Sanity at last inside your.....
Private Hell

Private Hell.....Private Hell ....Private Hell

Solamente Una Vez


Solamente Una Vez
Composer(s): Agustín Lara
First performance by: José Mojica - 1941
Covered by multiple other artists

Titles In Other Languages:
1944 - You Belong To My Heart

Solamente una vez
Amé en la vida
Solamente una vez
Y nada más

Una vez nada más
En mi huerto
Brilló la esperanza
La esperanza que alumbra
El camino de mi soledad

Una vez nada más
Se entrega el alma
Con la dulce
Y total renunciación

Y quando ese milagro
Realiza el prodigio de amarse
Hay campanas de fiesta
Que cantan
En el corazón

Private Eye


Private Eye
Composer(s): Phil Pickett
Performer(s): Sailor



I watched the dawning of a concrete day
Got out of bed, scratched my head, had a hotel shave
The operator called me up just to say hey, hey
"You've got a message to call her now
She said the writing's on the wall right now
(Mr. Romero) You've got a message to call
She said that's all"

She switched the light on in the swimming pool
A silhouette with a cigarette, boy was I cool
She looked right through me, then I fell off my stool
"You've got to find me some truth," she said
"I don't need money or eternal youth," she said
"Mr. Romero, won't you find me the truth
Find me the truth?"

(Chorus A:)
I'm just a private eye, an ordinary guy
You're asking me to find you paradise
Makes a change from homicide and vice
I'll be your private eye...

There must be something more than this
A swimming pool, a crazy fool and a Hollywood kiss
The finest clothes and breakfast at Tiffany's
"You've got to find me some truth," she said
"I don't need money or eternal youth," she said
"Mr. Romero, won't you find me the truth
Find me the truth?"

(Chorus B:)
I'm just a private eye, no ordinary guy
Trust in me and I will find you paradise
Now sit back and watch the sun arise
I'll be your private eye...

I'm floating, I'm floating
I'm floating higher than the sun
To find the truth, no stone unturned...

Paradise
Now sit back and watch the sun arise
I'll be your private eye
(Repeat chorus B)

We talked all night about the Science Age
And how a soft remembered word
Would help to turn the page
And make way for the wisdom of the sage...

"You've got a message to call her now
She said the writing's on the wall right now
Mr. Romero..."
(Repeat)

Främling


Främling
First performance by: Carola Häggkvist - 1983



Främling
Vad döljer du för mig?
I dina mörka ögon
En svag nyans, av ljus nånstans
Men ändå, en främling
Så känner jag för dig
Jag ber dig, låt mig få veta
Vem vill du vara?
Kan du förklara
Det för mig?

Som Mona Lisa har sitt leende
Så gömmer också du en hemlighet
Stjärnor jag ser dem
Vill gärna ta ner nån till dig
Där bortom himlen finns en evighet
Om du vill upptäcka den här med mig
Ta första stegen och visa mig vägen ikväll
En känsla och jag litar på den
Sen blir vår kärlek aldrig främmande igen

Natten finns till för dig och mig
Glöm det som är omkring oss
Låt mig få komma
Låt mig få vara nära dig

Som Mona Lisa har sitt leende
Så gömmer också du en hemlighet
Stjärnor jag ser dem
Vill gärna ta ner nån till dig
Där bortom himlen finns en evighet
Om du vill upptäcka den här med mig
Ta första stegen och visa mig vägen ikväll
En känsla och jag litar på den
Sen blir vår kärlek aldrig främmande igen
Då blir vår kärlek aldrig främmande igen

Private Dancer


Private Dancer
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Tina Turner



Well the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don`t look at their faces
And you don`t ask their names
You don`t think of them as human
You don`t think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

chorus
I`m your private dancer
A dancer for money
I`ll do what you want me to do
I`m your private dancer
A dancer for money
And any old music will do

I want to make a million dollars
I want to live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don`t look at their faces
And you don`t ask their names

chorus twice

Deutschmarks or Dollars
American Express will do nicely - thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me do you want to see the shimmy again

chorus

Un passato che
Più niente mi darà
Cerco intorno a me
Un nuovo volto
Che vorrei potesse dir
Parole nuove che mi portino così
Dove io

Vorrei
In un mondo che non c'è
Ma e' vissuto sempre in me
Son solo più che mai
In una notte che non mi dirà
Se avrò un domani
E che solo lei
Di me deciderà

In quel mondo che non c'è
Vorrei trovarmi sai perchè
Son solo più che mai
Senza ricordi
Che non trovo più
Nel mio passato
Un passato che
È triste quanto me

Prisunic


Prisunic
Composer(s): Henri Gougaud
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Prisunic aux soleils d'aluminium fleuri
Je flâne en vos jardins d'ustensiles étranges
Prisunic Prisunic en passant je souris
Aux petites vendeuses couleur de pschitt orange

O vendeuses chéries en matière plastique
Prenez mon plasti-coeur et mes plasti-baisers
Puis nous nous coucherons dans l'herbe synthétique
Nous ferons des enfants à l'âme triphasée

Sur des arbres en carton y'a de la plasti-mousse
Et des plasti-nuages accrochés aux néons
Oh le celluloïd comme il a la peau douce
La machine à laver où l'as-tu vue Léon

Moi je n'ai d'yeux que pour les Prisunic vendeuses
Engrangeant des étoiles aux réfrigérateurs
Imaginez-les donc en robes vaporeuses
Elles mettraient un cochon dedans votre moteur

Prisunic aux soleils d'aluminium tout gris
La musique vous prend dans ses douces volutes
Prisunic Prisunic vos néons sont fleuris
Paraît que le nylon ça brûle en deux minutes

Étrangers dans la nuit
On se regarde
Étrangers dans la nuit
Nos yeux bavardent
C'est bon d'être ainsi
Étrangers dans la nuit
Pourquoi se parler
Mieux vaut se taire
Quand on peut rêver
Devant un verre
Que la nuit s'en va
Mais que l'amour est là
Il aura suffi
Avant que le jour vienne
Il aura suffi
De ta main dans la mienne
Pour changer ma vie
Pour changer mon ciel
Pour que tout là-haut
Dans la nuit brillent
Mille et mille étoiles
Et toi dans la nuit
Tu peux sourire
Déjà j'ai compris
Tu veux me dire
Soyons réunis
Étrangers dans la nuit
Pour nous, tout là-haut
Dans la nuit brillent
Mille et mille étoiles
Et toi dans la nuit
Tu peux sourire
Déjà j'ai compris
Tu veux me dire
Soyons réunis
Étrangers dans la nuit

Prisons


Prisons
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



Malgré
Parfums et abat-jours
Livres précieux étoffes rares
La nuit, même en plein jour
Divans profonds, filtres bizarres
Où je tourne en rond
C'est drôle
Comme ils sont lourds
Ce cœur et ce corps qui m'alarment
C'est drôle qu'après je coure
Quand déjà je me désincarne
C'est drôle toutes ces prisons
Où moi je tourne en rond
Où toi tu tournes en rond
C'est drôle toutes ces prisons

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through

Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in you smile was so exciting
Something in my heart
Told me I must have you

Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away and......

Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night

La da da da da.......

Prisonniers


Prisonniers
Composer(s): Philippe Soupault
Performer(s): Michael Mantler



Ils sont là cent cinquante
Ils ne dorment pas
Ils attendent
Il y a ceux qui attendent toujours

Il y a ceux qui murmurent un nom
Ceux qui respirent à peine
Ceux qui mentent
Il y a ceux qui souffrent sans cesse
Ceux qui crient doucement

Ceux qui chantent

Il y ceux qui ont faim et soif
Ceux qui marchent lentement
Ceux qui mangent
Il y a ceux qui hurlent de toutes leurs forces
Ceux qui baissent la tête
Ceux qui vivent

Hommes de peines
Hommes de peines
Que nos nuits sont longues

I'm Never Giving Up


I'm Never Giving Up
Composer(s): Ron Roker - Jan Pulsford - Phil Wigger
First performance by: Sweet Dreams - 1983



I don't believe in idle gossip
The jealous mind can be unfair
I hear them make their accusations
But baby, come what may
No matter what the people say

I'm never givin' up, not givin' in
If there's the slightest chance that I could win
The battle may be lost, but I can win the war
And get your lovin' back the way it was before

At times it's hard to see the changes
Or read the writing on the wall
We may become the best of strangers
But I'll keep holding on
Until I know my chance has gone

I'm never givin' up, not givin' in
If there's the slightest chance that I could win
The battle may be lost, but I can win the war
And get your lovin' back the way it was before

Never givin' up, I'm never givin' up

I'm never givin' up, not givin' in
If there's the slightest chance that I could win
The battle may be lost, but I can win the war
And get your lovin' back the way it was

I'm never givin' up, not givin' in
If there's the slightest chance that I could win
The battle may be lost, but I can win the war
And get your lovin' back the way it was before

Never givin' up, I'm never givin' up
(I'm allowed to... all I want to... need your lovin')
I'm never never givin'... never never givin'... never givin' up

Prisoner Of Love


Prisoner Of Love
Composer(s): Russ Columbo; Clarence Gaskill; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Perry Como



Alone from night to night you’ll find me
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I’m just a prisoner of love

For one command I stand and wait now
From one who’s master of my fate now
I can’t escape for it’s too late now
I’m just a prisoner of love

What’s the good of my caring
If someone is sharing those arms with me
Although she has another
I can’t have another for I’m not free

She’s in my dreams, awake or sleeping
Upon my knees, to her I’m creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I’m just a prisoner of love

What’s the good of my caring
If someone is sharing those arms with me
Although she has another
I can’t have another for I’m not free

She’s in my dreams, awake or sleeping
Upon my knees, to her I’m creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I’m just a prisoner of love

Sol Forastero


Sol Forastero
Composer(s): Miguel Bosé - L. Ferrario - M. Grilli
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



Tu que nunca quisiste
oir hablar de América
ahora vas y dices que
quieres ir p’ allá...
Si ni siquiera sabes
dónde está California
me cuentas que ahora mueres por
ponerte morena allá
Bajo un sol forastero
Bajo un sol forastero …

Y ahora de repente
te pones camiseta New York
y no tienes ni idea
de qué tiempo hará
Bajo un sol forastero
un forastero seré
bajo un cielo negro negro
extranjero hablaré

Pero que mito hey !
qué barras ni qué estrellas
de qué me hablas chica mira que te ciegas
pero qué libertad, qué clase de cultura
pero qué gringo mandingo ni que polla dura
pero qué presidente ni qué rascacielos
pere qué sociedad que vive sin camelos
pero qué coño dices mira cómo comes
Que si que ve, ve, ve
De donde dan las tomes

Justo ayer me decías
mañana iremos al mar
explica entonces que es ésto
de vuelo intercontinental…
Cariño hablamos despacio
la vida allá es triste
se duerme poco, se gasta mucho
y se come ese pan de alpiste
bajo un solo forastero
forastero seré
bajo un cielo negro negro
extranjero hablaré

Prison Blues
Composer(s): Jimmy Page; Chris Farlow
Performer(s): Jimmy Page



I've been a b-bad boy baby
I've been a bad boy all night long - oh yes I have
Yes, I've been a bad boy honey
I've been a bad boy all night long
That woman, she don't even let me
She did not even telephone

I'm gonna leave my little honey
Like a rabbit leaves the hole
A-ow-ah leave my little honey baby
Just like that little bunny rabbit leaves the hole
I got a weasel in my pocket
I'm gonna stick that weasel down my mamma
I'm gonna stick it down that little hole

I'm never gonna get out of this prison baby
The only way I get out is climb over the wall
Oh baby, the only way out is that I get a ladder
and climb over the wall
Well I can't climb the ladder baby
'Cause I'm afraid that I, that I might fall
Come on yeah!

I'm staying in this Folsom prison honey
Yeah, I'm gonna stay in this prison till the day that I die
Oh, I'll stay in Folsom prison baby
Oh, till the day, until the day that I die
Hear more, I'm gonna kill nobody
Oh my baby you know, you know that I'm staying alive

'Cause I know baby, that's gonna be a great big lie
(You know I'm livin' in this F-Fol' prison)

refrain:
Red and Yellow, Blue and Green
Prettiest thing I'd ever seen
You know it's Red and Yellow, Blue and Green
Lord this world treat a little child mean

Goin' a home from school today

He gave me a prism, shiny and clean
Prettiest thing I ever seen

Daddy left my mama but I won't cry
Hold my prism to my eye
Hold it there, night and day
Hold it 'til the earth goes away

Cried until my little heart bled
That was bad, but then today
Policemen come and take my mama away

You know it's Red and Yellow, Blue and Green
Lord this world treat a little child...

Sol E Chuva


Sol E Chuva
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Zizi Possi



Se esta noite o tempo vai virar
Não me deixes sair sozinha
Pode amanhecer
Tudo fora de lugar
Posso não estar aqui

Nossa vida, o vento esfarrapar
Tua manta não ser a minha
Pode acontecer
Quando o tempo serenar
De eu não me lembrar de ti

Sim
Pode vir uma enxurrada
E carregar tudo o que eu tinha
Sim
Posso até gostar
Deixa eu sair sozinha

É sol e chuva, é penumbra e luz
Meu corpo está gelado e queima
Pode acontecer
Podes vir me procurar
Posso não estar aqui

Prisioneros En Libertad


Prisioneros En Libertad
Composer(s): Bradley; Miguel Gallardo; Stewart James
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Si la sangre no ardiera en mi
y estas ansias de ser, hoy, me dejarán descansar
si la lluvia borrara en ti
esos sueños de aire que te obligan a escapar
Prisioneros en libertad, noche sin final
corazones en libertad, perros sin guardián
¡qué amarga miel! ¡qué salada sal!
es la soledad
Si supiera llegar a ti
y entregarte la fe y la inocencia que perdí
si quisieras volver a mi
con el alma en la cara y sin nada que fingir
Prisioneros en libertad, somos tu y yo
corazones en libertad, cuerpos sin calor
¡qué amarga miel! ¡qué salada sal!
es la soledad
Prisioneros en libertad, sin saber que hacer
corazones en libertad, de alas de papel
¡qué amarga miel! ¡qué salada sal!
es la soledad

Vivre (Guy Bonnet)


Vivre
Composer(s): Fulbert Cant - Guy Bonnet
First performance by: Guy Bonnet - 1983



Vivre, vivre encore un jour, vivre encore un amour
Vivre encore un réveil, ivre, gorgé de soleil
Aime, aime comme un fou, aime, aime à genoux, oui
Même si tu dois souffrir, aime, même s'il faut partir

Ils se sont dit adieu, peut-être à jamais
Mais au fond de leurs yeux, oh… comme ils s'aimaient
Et la ronde des jours va les emporter
Vers un autre toujours, vers l'éternité
Loin, loin, si loin, comme une étoile, un point

Vivre, vivre encore un jour, vivre encore un amour
Vivre encore un réveil, ivre, gorgé de soleil
Aime, aime comme un fou, aime, aime à genoux, oui
Même si tu dois souffrir, aime, même s'il faut partir

Qu'importent les saisons, qu'importe le temps
Par delà l'horizon, rien n'est important
Ils traversent la nuit au fond de leurs yeux
Une flamme qui luit, l'amour en adieux
Loin, loin, si loin, comme une étoile, un point

Aux premières lueurs ils l'ont embarqué
Les fusils des tueurs vont bientôt claquer
Tu dois enfin mourir, disent-ils, que veux-tu?
Il s'est mis à sourire, il a répondu
Loin, loin, si loin, comme une étoile, un point

Vivre, vivre encore un jour, vivre encore un amour
Vivre (encore un réveil,) oh… vivre, (gorgé de soleil)
Vivre, vivre
