Litet Solskensbarn
Litet Solskensbarn
((Adapted from: Little Altar Boy (by Vic Dana) - 1961))
Composer(s): Howlett Smith - K.G. Lundqvist
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog - 1970
Litet solskensbarn, en skugga faller över dig
Litet solskensbarn, de stora frågar ej
Frågar dig ej om råd eller vad som sker
Litet solskensbarn, vår värld är inget för dig
Litet solskensbarn, som bygger slott av sand och sten
Litet solskensbarn, din dag har blivit sen
Sanden har trampats ner, skratt, det hörs ej mer
Litet solskensbarn, är det ej fel det som sker
Högt i det blå, där lyser solen klar
Kanske ändå att hoppet ännu finns kvar
För kärleken att nå, överallt
Kanske ändå vi en gång lär oss förstå
Litet solskensbarn, en sorgsen blick som följer mig
Litet solskensbarn, vem frågar efter dig
Världen är hård och kall, ingen glädje mer
Litet solskensbarn, nog är det fel det som sker
Nog är det fel det som sker

Magic Man
Magic Man
Composer(s): Ann Wilson; Nancy Wilson
Performer(s): Heart
Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue
I could not run away
It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet
Let's get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try to understand
I'm a magic man"
Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
Never think of never
Let this spell last forever
Summer over passed to fall
Tried to realize it all
Mama says she's worried
Growing up in a hurry
"Come on home, girl" mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby yet my girl should be at home!"
"But try to understand, try to understand
Try try try to understand
He's a magic man, mama
He's a magic man"
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you a woman from a child!
But try to understand, try to understand
I'm a magic man!"

Magic Hymie
Magic Hymie
Composer(s): Jerry Harrison; Nona Hendryx; B. Worrell
Performer(s): Jerry Harrison
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
If it were yesterday
Or any other day
I would have run away
Playing dumb
I would have stayed away
If it were afternoon
Or night or day
I would have run away
And put things off
And stayed away
Until another day, because
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
Sometimes you have to be
Stretched the wire
Before you can untie your hands
Before you move
Sometimes the gun must be
Held to your head
When there’s nothing left
When there’s nothing left
You can go ahead, because
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
Face the chair
Firing squad
Without the heat
To bring you fear
You’ll never know
What you can do
Keep it going (repeat)
So there’s a way out of that corner
you’ve painted yourself into
And maybe you’re just gonna have to dig that ditch
a little bit deeper before you can get out of it
Well do you just gotta stand up
I mean if you sit down all your life what are you gonna do?
I mean you’re just gonna have to climb up right over
yourself and get out of there
I mean that mess you’re in, you’re just gonna
have to get out of it
You’re gonna have to decide you gonna do it
You’re gonna have to decide you wanna do it, and
then you’re just gonna do it
So okay, all right, okay, okay, oh
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it ...

Liten Och Trött
Liten Och Trött
Composer(s): K. Aneby - M. Försberg
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog & Christian Ulvaeus
När man är liten och trött behöver man
Nå'n som stoppar om en och kramas lite grann
För ibland är man rädd, det känns ensamt och då
Är det skönt att få hålla nå'n i hand
Att få hålla nå'n i hand
Och även om man blir stor och så väldigt klok
Så kan det hända att allting går på tok
Och fast man vet bäst, som vuxna alltig gör
Så är man ängslig när ingen ser och hör
För ibland är man rädd, det känns ensamt och då
Är det skönt att få hålla nå'n i hand
För ibland är man rädd, det känns ensamt och då
Är det skönt att få hålla nå'n i hand
Att få hålla nå'n i hand, att få hålla nå'n i hand

Magic Carpet Ride
Magic Carpet Ride
Composer(s): John Kay
Originally performed by: Steppenwolf
Covered by various other artists
I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Magic (The Cars)
Magic
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars
Summer turns me upside down
Summer summer summer
It's like a merry-go-round
I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows
High shoes with the cleats a-clickin'
a temperamental glow
How far will you take it
Well no one knows
Don't let me go
I got a hold on you tonight
Oh oh it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh oh it's magic
You know it's true
Got a hold on you
Twisted under sideways down
I know you're getting twisted
And you can't calm down
I see you under the midnight
Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it
Till you realize
There's magic in your eyes
Oh oh it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh oh it's magic
You know it's true
Got a hold on you

Mijn ploeg, mijn steen, mijn gaarde
Mijn dorst, mijn lust, mijn nacht
Mijn dag, mijn brood, mijn kracht
Mijn gids, mijn stem, mijn zeil, mijn golf
Mijn bloed, mijn koorts, mijn ik, mijn wolf
Mijn zang, mijn lach, mijn vreugd, mijn wijn
Mijn zon, mijn kreet, mijn trouw, mijn zijn
Mijn hart, mijn lief, mijn leven
Mijn lucht, mijn vuur, mijn beven
Mijn lijf, mijn huid, mijn brug
Hoera! Je bent terug! ...

Composer(s): Billy Lyall; David Paton
Originally performed by: Pilot
Ho, ho, ho
It´s magic you know
Never believe, it´s not so
It´s magic, you know
Never believe, it´s not so
Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
Lazy day in bed
Music in my head
Crazy music playing in the morning light
I love my sunny day
Dream of far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning
Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning light
Ho, ho, ho
It´s magic, you know
Never believe it´s not so
It´s magic, you know
Never believe, it´s not so

Composer(s): Toto Cutugno - Cristiano Minellono
First release by: Toto Cutugno - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists
Lasciatemi cantare, con la chitarra in mano
Lasciatemi cantare, sono un italiano
Buongiorno Italia, gli spaghetti al dente
E un partigiano come presidente; con l'autoradio sempre
Nella mano destra e un canarino sopra la finestra
Buongiorno Italia, con i tuoi artisti, con troppa America
Sui manifesti
Con le canzoni con amore e con il cuore
Con più donne sempre meno suore
Buongiorno Italia, buongiorno Maria
Con gli occhi pieni di malinconia, buongiorno Dio
Lo sai che ci sono anch'io?
Lasciatemi cantare, con la chitarra in mano
Lasciatemi cantare una canzone piano piano
Lasciatemi cantare, perché ne sono fiero
Sono un italiano, un italiano vero
Buongiorno Italia che non si spaventa
Con la crema da barba alla menta; con un vestito gessato
Sul blu e la moviola la domenica in T.V.
Buongiorno Italia col caffè ristretto
Le calze nuove nel primo cassetto
Con la bandiera in tintoria e una seicento giù di carrozzeria
Buongiorno Italia, buongiorno Maria
Con gli occhi pieni di malinconia... buongiorno Dio
Lo sai che ci sono anch'io?
Lasciatemi cantare, con la chitarra in mano
lasciatemi cantare una canzone piano piano
Lasciatemi cantare perché ne sono fiero
Sono un italiano, un italiano vero
Lasciatemi cantare, perché ne sono fiero
Sono un italiano, un italiano vero

Magic
Composer(s): John Farrar
Originally performed by: Olivia Newton-John
Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know that I'll be kind
I'll be guiding you
Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
From where I stand
You are home free
The planets align so rare
There's promise in the air
And I'm guiding you
Through every turn I'll be near you
I'll come anytime you call
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you

Méditerranéenne
((Adapted from: L'italiano (by Toto Cutugno) - 1983))
Composer(s): Toto Cutugno - Cristiano Minellono - Didier Barbelivien - Hervé Vilard
Performer(s): Hervé Vilard - 1983
Ma vie sera la tienne, Méditerranéenne
Aux Saintes-Maries que j'aime
Y a danger pour l'étranger!
T'as sur le front la croix de ton village
Et deux grands yeux noirs qui me dévisagent
Qui t'a donné ce déhanché toi qui es née
Entre les vignes et les champs d'oliviers?
Dans ta famille on aime les orages
Les flamands roses et les chevaux sauvages
Eparpillés, ensoleillés, ensorcelés
Comme le sont tous les gens du voyage
Viens me rejoindre à la nuit, mais prends garde
Car tu sais bien que ton frère nous regarde
Qu'il t'a juré: y a danger pour l'étranger!
Méditerranéenne, mais qu'est-ce que tu es belle
Ce parfum de Bohème je l'aimerai puisque tu m'aimes
Ma vie sera la tienne, Méditerranéenne
Aux Saintes-Maries que j'aime
Y a danger pour l'étranger!
Mais j'ai envie de courir dans les vagues
Et de crier sous le ciel de Camargue
Qui t'a donné ce déhanché, la majesté d'être nu-pieds
Au milieu des gitanes?
À la tombée du jour, le feu, les flammes
Raniment l'amour dans le cœur des femmes
Quand tu es triste, un guitariste, un violoniste
Est toujours là pour jouer du vague à l'âme
Viens me rejoindre à la nuit mais prends garde
Car tu sais bien que ton frère nous regarde
Qu'il t'a juré : y a danger pour l'étranger!
Méditerranéenne, les guitares se souviennent
La mer est dans la plaine aux Saintes-Maries que j'aime
Ma vie sera la tienne, Méditerranéenne
Ce parfum de Bohème je l'aimerai puisque tu m'aimes
Ma vie sera la tienne, Méditerranéenne
Aux Saintes-Maries que j'aime
Y a danger pour l'étranger!
La la la la la ...

Maggie's Dream
Maggie's Dream
Composer(s): Dave Loggins; Lisa Silver
Performer(s): Don Williams
Maggie's up each morning at four am
By five at the counter at the diner
Her trucker friends out on the road will soon be stoppin in
As the lights go on at Cafe Carolina
Maggie's been a waitress here most all her life
Thirty years of coffee cups and sore feet
The mountains around Ashville she's never seen the other side
Closer now to fifty than to forty
Maggie's never had a love
She said she's never had enough
Time to let a man into her life
Aw but Maggie has a dream
She's had since she was seventeen
To find a husband and be a wife
Maggie knows the truckers most by first name
What they'll have to say and what they'll order
And they take her in their stories to places far away
And leave her with the dishes, dreams and quarters
And she relies upon the jukebox on the lonely afternoon
When the business starts to slow down she plays the saddest tunes
And she stares off down the highway and she wonders where it goes
Nobody to go home to and it's almost time to close

L'italiana
L'italiana
Performer(s): Renato Zero
Non è il fascino ruffiano di una bandiera
la carezza di un dialetto, né una melodia
una cucina così povera ma sincera
allora che cos'è che mi lega a te
Quella faccia strafottente così italiana
di coraggio, di passione, di gelosia
stai nel recinto anche tu
in questo ghetto ci stai
per non vivere più
che bell'esempio che dai
Non rinuncerò
io non sbarrerò la porta
non accetterò
che la faccia mia sia un'altra ed io
quanto ti ho amata pure io
ma questo cielo oltre che il tuo
è pure il mio, la stessa anima
più malinconica, se questo è un oblio!
Da quel primo bacio dato senza pensare
nel timore che un amore ci porti via
migrazioni naturali quelle del cuore
valigie che pesano
Non c'è terra non c'è mare che può spiegare
quale mistica attrazione ci tiene qui
pronti a soffrire così
sono secoli ormai
le differenze fra noi
le appianeremo se vuoi
Madre anche tu
salva almeno le apparenze
tutti i figli tuoi
dalla Sicilia fino in Piemonte, ed io
se ti ho difesa lo sa Dio
ma il tuo pensiero non è più limpido
forse nostalgico
vivo di questa mia utopia, cara democrazia
non ci vedrai più
tutti intorno a una bottiglia
non c'entriamo ormai
nel ritratto di famiglia e tu
più delirante di così
madre dimenticata lì in un angolo
un ruolo scomodo
siamo davvero figli tuoi
così sicura sei
Io ci spero sai
che quel silenzio arrivi, mai!

Listening In
Composer(s): Mickey Bradley - John O'Neill
Performer(s): The Undertones
I was sitting on my own
No one rang so I picked up the phone
Then I heard your voice
I was listening in
You were talking in the hall
I wasn't there but I heard it all
Nothing I could do
Just listening in
On the carpet you're so small
Who had you covered wall to wall
Nothing I could do
Just listening in
Now you're gone any your line's dead
Nothing I can do instead
No more - no more
No more listening in
