Dark Clouds


Dark Clouds
Composer(s): Robert Lucas
Performer(s): Canned Heat



Dark clouds, dark clouds follow me
Dark night, dark night is all I see
Man, I got these blues
Won't let a hold of me

Sometimes I dream of better days
Oh, from time to time, I dream of better days
Maybe it's just me
I gotta change my evil ways

I read the paper, 2000's all I see
I hope it gets better in the next century
But not just for the fat cats, people
For you and me

Dark clouds follow me everyway I go
Dark clouds follow me everyway I go
Oh man, these blues got a hold on me
I want you people to know

Late In The Evening


Late In The Evening
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Paul Simon - 1980



The first thing I remember, I was lying in my bed
I couldn't've been no more than one or two
And I remember there's a radio, coming from the room next door
My mother laughed the way some ladies' do

Well it's late in the evening, and the music's seeping through

The next thing I remember, I am walking down a street
I'm feeling alright I'm with my boys and with my troops, yeah
Down along the avenue some guys were shootin' pool
And I heard the sound of acapella groups, yeah

Singin' late in the evening, and all the girls out on the stoops, yeah

Then I learned to play some lead guitar, I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a J
When I come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play

It was late in the evening, and I blew that room away

First thing I remember when you came into my life
I said I wanna get that girl, no matter what I do
Well I guess I've been in love before and once or twice have been on the floor
But I've never loved no-one the way that I love you

..and I love you

And it was late in the evening, and all the music's seeping through

Dark As A Dungeon


Dark As A Dungeon
Composer(s): Merle Travis
Originally performed by: Merle Travis
Covered by various other artists



It's as dark as a dungeon way down in the mine...

I never will forget one time when I was on a little visit
down home in Ebenezer, Kentucky
I was a-talkin' to an old man that had known me ever since the day I was born
and an old friend of the family
He says, "Son, you don't know how lucky you are
to have a nice job like you've got
and don't have to dig out a livin' from under these old hills and hollers
like me and your pappy used to"
When I asked him why he never had left and tried some other kind of work
he says, "Nawsir, you just won't do that
If ever you get this old coal dust in your blood
you're just gonna be a plain old coal miner as long as you live"
He went on to say, "It's a habit (Chuckle) sorta like chewin' tobaccer"

Come and listen you fellows, so young and so fine
And seek not your fortune in the dark, dreary mines.
It will form as a habit and seep in your soul
'Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal

Chorus:
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
It's a-many a man I have seen in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for the lure of the mines

I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll
My body will blacken and turn into coal
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
And pity the miner a-diggin' my bones

Additional Verse:
The midnight, the morning, or the middle of day
Is the same to the miner who labors away
Where the demons of death often come by surprise
One fall of the slate and you're buried alive

Darina


Darina
Composer(s): Didier Barbelivien
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan



On ne se connaissait pas
on s'est retrouvé quand
toutes deux nées là-bas
du côté des Balkans

Par quelle étrange histoire
tout ça a commencé
je n'ai plus de mémoire
je n'ai plus de passé

Il m'a fallu t'attendre
il a fallu longtemps
de l'instant le plus tendre
au plus fort des tourments

Je vais guetter les jours
les mois et le moment
où tu diras bonjour
où tu diras Maman

Darina je sais comment dire je t'aime
mais jamais je ne l'ai dit autant
Darina tout ce qui à toi m'enchaîne
est tellement différent maintenant

Je sais qu'au fil du temps
je devrai m'adapter
mais nous avons le temps
de bien nous adopter

Je vais te voir grandir
je vais te voir courir
je vais te voir tomber
je vais te voir pleurer

{au Refrain}

Je sais qu'un certain soir
nous parlerons vraiment
nous marquerons l'histoire
d'un nouveau sentiment

J'aurai le cœur serré
j'aurai les yeux qui brillent
en te voyant danser
je dirai c'est ma fille
{au Refrain}

On ne se connaissait pas
on s'est retrouvé quand
toutes deux nées là-bas
du côté des Balkans

This Is It (Melba Moore)


This Is It
Composer(s): Van McCoy
Performer(s): Melba Moore



This is it
this time I know it's for real
and I can't explain what I'm feeling
I'm lost for words
I'm in a daze
stunned and amazed
by your lovin' ways
(repeat)

You smile at me
and suddenly
the wheels of love begin to turn inside of me
you said hello
I felt a glow
right then and there I knew I'd never let you go
'cause I know, I know.....

This is it
this time I know it's for real
and I can't explain what I'm feeling
I'm lost for words
I'm in a daze
stunned and amazed
by your lovin' ways
(repeat)

The touch of you
is something new
nobody ever made me feel the way you do
it's heavenly
it's ecstasy
the way you make me feel when you make love to me
can't you see, can't you see....

This is it
this time I know it's for real
and I can't explain what I'm feeling
I'm lost for words
I'm in a daze
stunned and amazed
by your lovin' ways
(repeat)

The touch of you
is something new
nobody ever made me feel the way you do
it's heavenly
it's ecstasy
the way you make me feel when you make love to me
can't you see, can't you see....

This is it
this time I know it's for real
and I can't explain what I'm feeling
I'm lost for words
I'm in a daze
stunned and amazed
by your lovin' ways

Dare Me


Dare Me
Composer(s): Dave Innis; John Lorber
Originally performed by: The Pointer Sisters



I've got a chip on my shoulder with you name on it - knock it off
So don't just stand there foolin' if you don't want it - knock it off
I say you're either a lover or you are a liar
So don't you push too hard, you're playin' with fire

Baby, make your move, step across the line
Touch me one more time, come on, dare me!
I wanna take you on, I know I can't lose
I'll be loving you if you just dare me

Looks like you're lookin' for trouble
And I'd say you found it - you found it
You'll have to come right through me
There's no way around it - you found it
I hope that lean hungry look means what it's saying
'Cause I'm just sittin' on ready, ready and waiting
Baby, make your move, step across the line ...

Come on and dare me
If there's any truth behind your intentions
This night's gonna end up on fire - you better believe it
You better believe it, oh baby
Oh, dare me, dare me, dare me
Baby, make your move, step across the line ...
Baby, make your move, step across the line ...
Baby, make your move, step across the line ...

Darby O'Leary


Darby O'Leary
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Dubliners



One evening of late as I happened to stray
To the County Tipperary I straight took my way
To dig the potatoes and work by the day
for a farmer called Darby O'Leary

I asked him how far we were bound for to go
The night being dark and the cold wind did blow
I was hungry and tired and my spirits were low
for I got neither whiskey nor water

The dirty old miser he mounted his steed
To the Galbally mountains he rode in great speed
I followed behind 'til my poor feet did bleed
when we stopped when his old horse was weary

When we came to his cottage I entered it first
it seemed like a kennel or a ruined old church
Says I to myself I am left in the lurch
in the house of old Darby O'Leary

I well recollect it was Michalmass night
To a hearty good supper he did me invite
A cup of sour milk that was more green than white
And it gave me the trotting disorder

The wet old potatoes would poison the cats
And the barn where my bed was was swarming with rats
The fleas would have frightened the fearless St. Pat
who banished the snakes o'er the border

He worked me by day and he worked me by night
while he held an old candle to give me some light
I wished his potatoes would die of the blight
or himself would go off with the fairies

It was on this old miser I looked with a frown
When the straw was brought in for to make my shakedown
And I wished I had never seen him nor his town
nor the sky above Darby O'Leary

I've worked in Kilconnel, I've worked in Killmore
I worked in Knoockannie and Shamballamore
In Kalisanaker and Sollahed Moore with farmers so decent and cheery

I've worked in Tipperary, the Rag and Ross Green
At the mount of Killfegal, the Bridge of Orleans
But such woeful starvation I never yet seen
As I got from old Darby O'Leary

Italianen


Italianen
Composer(s): Raymond Van Het Groenewoud
Performer(s): Raymond Van Het Groenewoud



Italianen
Hebben zin voor melodie
Hare Krishna, Traviata, Napoli

Italianen
Blondjes blijven zij niet af
Onnozel fluiten, Italianen zijn te maf

Italianen
Aan honderd blablabla per uur
Schone schoenen, zeer veel stijl
Maar geen caruur

Italianen
Laffe kaffers bij de vleet
Met de meisjes veel proberen, zelden beet

Vertrouw geen Italianen
Ze knoeien met conserven
Ze steken er van alles in
Ze lullen van amore
Maar laat ze ouwehoeren
Een Italiaan is ons te min
Italianen

O die Italianen, ze zitten vol van charme
Aiaiai bella ragazza, quando viagga
O die Italianen, claxons met veel alarmen
O die Italianen, wat zijn ze toch romantisch
Amore, quanta sepolta ...

Maar jongens van stavast
Die vind je slechts hier in deze Lage Landen
Waar het altijd zeikt en waar ik trouwens
Zo vlug mogelijk weg wil
Naar de Provence waar ik in een
Witte villa wil wonen enzovoort enzovoort

Italianen
Veel bravoure op de markt

Italianen
Ach het is een volk apart

Italianen
Temperatuurvol als dat heet
Maar die rakkers zijn toch verre van compleet

Vertrouw geen Italianen, ze stelen uit je wagen
In liegen zijn ze eerste prijs
Ze willen je verleiden maar slechts voor korte tijd
En ze maken je van alles wijs

Vertrouw geen Italianen
Ze willen je bedotten
Ze steken er van alles in
Ze lullen van amore
Maar laat ze ouwehoeren
Een Italiaan is ons te min
Italianen

Dar Es Dar


Dar Es Dar
Composer(s): Fito Paez; Carlos Villavicencio
Performer(s): Fito Paez



Dar es dar
y no fijarme en ella
y su manera de actuar
dar es dar
y no decirle a nadie
si quedarse o escapar

Cuando el mundo te pregunta
del por que, por que, por que, por que
por que das vueltas la rueda
por que no te detenés
yo te digo que dar es dar

Dar es dar
y no marcar las cartas
simplemente dar
dar es dar y no explicarle a nadie
no hay nada que explicar
hoy los tiempos van a mil
tu extraño corazón ya no capta como
antes las pulsiones del amor
yo te digo que dar es dar
dar y amar

Mira nene, hacelo fácil dar es dar
dar lo que tengo todo me da
da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

No cuento el vuelto el vuelto
siempre es de mas
da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
dar es dar
es solamente una manera de andar
dar es dar, lo que recibes es también libertad

Cuando estoy perdido un poco loco por ahí
siempre hay alguien con tus ojos
esperándome hasta el fin
por que dar es dar, dar y amar
gracias nena por tu vida una vez mas
dar es dar

Dar lo que tengo todo me da
da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
no cuento el vuelto el vuelto
siempre es de mas
da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
estar de menos o estar de mas
da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
cielo o infierno, lo mismo, lo mismo da
da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Dar es dar
es encontrar en alguien
lo que nunca encontras

Dapple Rose


Dapple Rose
Composer(s): Lea James; Don Powell
Performer(s): Slade



Once kept in a stable snug and warm
But now he's growing old in open fields he's forced to go
He often stands in hail, rain, freezing snow
He's certain that his master doesn't mean him any harm

Chorus
Dapple Rose he doesn't want you anymore
Times gone by you will remember
Dapple Rose you are cold and old and slow
Times gone by you will remember
His clothing was a shiny coat so fine
But now he's growing old and his beauty does decay
One night he heard his master frown and say
No poor old bones could stand this life of mine

Chorus
Dapple Rose he doesn't want you anymore
Times gone by you will remember
Dapple Rose you are cold and old and slow
Times gone by you will remember

His food was of the best corn and best hay
But now there's no such thing and he hardly eats at all
He lives on sprouts that grow behind the wall
I doubt if he'll be lucky to last another day

Chorus
Dapple Rose he doesn't want you anymore
Times gone by you will remember
Dapple Rose you are cold and old and slow
Times gone by you will remember
Don't feel so bad, feel so sad
No more wearing shiny glory now they hang upon the wall
The hall in some far gone manor
Not a soul realises your a Dapple Rose of fame

((German Version: Andrea (by Peter Alexander) - 1979))
Composer(s): Massimo Bubola - Fabrizio De André
First release by: Fabrizio De André - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists



Andrea s'è perso s'è perso e non sa tornare
Andrea s'è perso s'è perso e non sarà tornare
Andrea aveva un amore Riccioli neri
Andrea aveva un dolore Riccioli neri

C'era scritto sul foglio ch'era morto sulla bandiera
C'era scritto e la firma era d'oro era firma di re

Ucciso sui monti di Trento dalla mitraglia
Ucciso sui monti di Trento dalla mitraglia

Occhi di bosco contadino del regno profilo francese
Occhi di bosco soldato del regno profilo francese
E Andrea l'ha perso ha perso l'amore la perla più rara
E Andrea ha in bocca un dolore la perla più scura

Andrea raccoglieva violette ai bordi del pozzo
Andrea gettava Riccioli neri nel cerchio del pozzo
Il secchio gli disse - Signore il pozzo è profondo
più fondo del fondo degli occhi della Notte del Pianto

Lui disse - Mi basta mi basta che sia più profondo di me
Lui disse - Mi basta mi basta che sia più profondo di me

(eh, dos maracas)
Tus piernas de bambú
tu rostro sin make up
apagare la luz
no puedo mas
baila nena, baila tu

(Shh, escucha ese rumor)
turba los sentidos
es el rito del amor
deja todo ya
y ven a bailar conmigo

Quiero vivir
bailando en tu rodeo
la danza me develará
peligros que trae el amor
peligros que da el amor
danza peligrosa
tu danza peligrosa
tu danza peligrosa

Material Girl


Material Girl
Composer(s): Peter Brown - Robert S. Rans
First release by: Madonna - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists



Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're O.K.
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light, that's right
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are

Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest then I
Have to let them be

Some boys try and some boys lie but
I don't let them play
Only boys who save their pennies
Make my rainy day, 'cause they are

Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Living in a material world [material]
Living in a material world
(repeat)

Boys may come and boys may go
And that's all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me, 'cause everybody's

Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

A material, a material, a material, a material world

Living in a material world [material]
Living in a material world

Performer(s): Dalida



Chiudo gli occhi e
sogno, come stai
Dai rimani ancora, qui con me
Ma in amore non si puo
Ritornare indietro no
Oh lacrime e sorrisi, su di noi
Lasciano sul viso, un segno in più
Le stagioni vanno via ma il mio cuore no

Continua la sua danza
Con rabbia e con speranza
E ancora non si stanca
La forza non gli manca
Su dai ragazzo danza
E illumina la stanza
L'amore é un sentimento
Che nasce in un momento

Nasce un nuovo amore, come stai
E ti senti ancora, cosi giovane
Ti ubriachi di allegria e di questa vita mia

Continna la sua danza
Con rabbia e con speranza
L'amore é un sentimento
Che soffia come il vento

Ora ti sorrido
Amore mio
Ti accarezzo il viso
Si andiamo via
Se hai paura non lo so
Ma il mio cuore no

Continua la sua danza
Con rabbia e con speranza
E ancora non si stanca
La forza non gli manca
Su dai ragazzo danza
E illumina la stanza
L'amore é un sentimento
Che nasce in un momento

Continua la sua danza
Con rabbia e con speranza
E ancora non si stanca
La forza non gli manca

Ando como hormiguita por tu espalda
ando por la quebrada dulce de la seda
vengo de las alturas de tus nalgas
hacia el oro que se derrama y se me enreda

Tú te vuelves pidiendo el cielo
apuntando a la luz con flores
y como lazarillos son los sabores
en tu jardín de anhelos

I'm In A Jam Jim


I'm In A Jam Jim
Composer(s): James Lunsford
Performer(s): Buddy Starcher



I'm in a jam, Jim
Won't you please come and help me out
Now it ain't that I'm out a-beggin'
Nor lookin' for a free handout
But I have my wife and children
And we're packed to leave this town
Jim, I've gotta make another kind of livin'
Since they shut the coal mine down

(All my life I've labored)
(You know I'm not the lazy kind)
(But I can't feed my wife and little people)
(A-workin' in a shutdown mine)
(I hate to leave my hometown)
(And say goodbye to my friends)
(But I'm shoppin' for a bright tomorrow)
(Can't you see I'm in a big jam, Jim)

I'm in a jam, Jim
Won't you please come and see me through
You know my paycheck, it's quit comin'
And all of my bills are due
And the landlord done give me notice
Be out of my house by noon
Now I've gotta do something about it
And Jim I've gotta do it soon

(All my life I've labored)
(You know I'm not the lazy kind)
(But I can't feed my wife and little people)
(A-workin' in a shutdown mine)
(I hate to leave my hometown)
(And say goodbye to my friends)
(But I'm shoppin' for a bright tomorrow)
(Can't you see I'm in a big jam, Jim)
