New York City Blues (Neil Sedaka)
New York City Blues
Composer(s): Phil Cody; Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka
Life and death in an alleyway
Just a heartbeat away from a man
Who's learned to turn his head away
From the pain that drains the land
Harlem's not too far from here
You can smell the garbage, feel the fear
I hear they're gonna build a skyscraper there
As if we didn't need the extra air
(Chorus)
New York City blues
In order to win, you gotta lose
Old before your time
The dirt and the grime
Get into everything
And the papers love to say
It's the meanest town in the USA
But I think it's okay
It's the town I've made my home
On another side of Park Avenue
Respectable folks don't know
Hungry eyes take in the view
Of the world that lays them low
Too many years on a welfare line
The old song and dance, time after time
You can only get so pushed around
Until you wanna tear the damn thing down
(Repeat chorus twice)

Intruder
Composer(s): Janis Joplin
Performer(s): Janis Joplin
You come around here
Trying to make your demand
You've got a need, darling
I've seen it grow and expand
Yeah, you want to reveal my life
With your own two hands
Well, tell me now
What are you trying to do?
Those holes in your life
Show what you require
You're needin' new eyes
Oh Lord, honey take any wire?
Yeah you've gotta save us all
Before the next big fire
Tell me now
What are you trying to do?
Walked in my life
Child, and I don't even know your name
You put others around behind ya
As if they were lame
You insist a simple feeling
Will be all the same
Well, tell me now
What are you trying to do?
Now I look like I'm suffering
Now I'm doing fine
One look at yourself baby
Child, I got you alive
Yeah, you're gonna take care of yours
I'll take care of mine
What are you trying to do?
Hey!

Composer(s): Nino Ferrer
Performer(s): Nino Ferrer
Pendant que tu voles sur l'Atlantique
Vers les Etats-Unis d'Amérique
Moi, je suis vautré dans un bar
Pour y noyer ce vieux cafard
Qui me remplit de haut en bas
A chaque fois que tu n'es pas là
Et je nage dans le Blue Lagoon
Le Whisky pur, le Manhattan
Et je te vois marcher toute nue
Dans la 5e Avenue
Rhabille-toi, tu vas prendre froid
Et rapporte-moi du chocolat
Des heures que tu ne m'appelles pas
Et que le temps ne s'écoule pas
Comme si c'était une mélasse
Et tu t'éloignes et je me lasse
Et mon intolérable angoisse
N'est qu'une péripétie de plus
Je me sens vieux, tu n'es qu'une p'tite conne
Mais je t'aimais comme personne
Et je te vois marcher toute nue
Dans la 5e Avenue
Rhabille-toi, tu vas prendre froid
Et rapporte-moi du chocolat

Introdução Para A Turma Do Funil
Introdução Para A Turma Do Funil
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Quando é tão densa a fumaça
Que o tempo não passa
E a porta do bar já fechou
Quando ninguém mais tem dono
O garçom tá com sono
E a primeira edição circulou
Quando não há mais saudade, nem felicidade
Nem sede, nem nada, nem dor
Quando não tem mais cadeira
Tomo um besteira de pé no balcão
Eis que da porta do fundo
Do oco do mundo
Desponta o cordão
Chegou a turma do funil ...

Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Je te connais
Tu as ton toit
Un tas d'amour
De rien
Un tas de n'importe quoi
Un tas de mystères
De cheveux, de chevaux
Pas de bois
De paysages labourés
De pierres bien entassées
Un tas de souvenirs
Si petit, si frais
Je te connais
Tu as ton toit
Et je veux vivre là

Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Gaby Wagenheim
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Tu m'as fait goûter au poison de ton amour
Tout en toi m'a possédé nuit et jour
Pourtant quand j'ai cru toucher le paradis
Sans espoir tu es partie
Tu étais toute ma chance et toute ma joie
Tu étais mon espérance et ma foi
Mais délaissant mon amour et brisant ma vie
Sans espoir tu es partie
Ah! pourrais-je t'oublier
Je ne le crois pas tu fais partie de moi-même
Comment cesser de t'aimer
Autant arracher ce coeur qui t'aime
Tu m'as fait goûter au poison de ton amour
Tout en toi m'a possédé nuit et jour
Pourtant j'ai cru toucher au paradis
Sans rancoeur ni haine
Sans remords ni peine
Sans retour tu es partie
Et toutes mes nuits son privée de sommeil
Et mes jours sont trop longs sans espoir de soleil
Je me sens perdu entouré de passé
Car le monde entier semble m'abandonner
C'est comme une drogue qui manque à ma joie
Car je suis intoxiqué de toi
Toi toi toi toi
Tu m'as fait goûter au poison de ton amour
Tout en toi m'a possédé nuit et jour
Pourtant quand j'ai cru toucher le paradis
Sans espoir tu es partie
Tu étais toute ma chance et toute ma joie
Tu étais mon espérance et ma foi
Mais délaissant mon amour et brisant ma vie
Sans espoir tu es partie
Ah! pourrais-je t'oublier
Je ne le crois pas tu fais partie de moi-même
Comment cesser de t'aimer
Autant arracher ce coeur qui t'aime
Tu m'as fait goûter au poison de ton amour
Tout en toi m'a possédé nuit et jour
Pourtant j'ai cru toucher au paradis
Sans rancoeur ni haine
Sans remords ni peine
Sans retour tu es partie
Ma tête est intoxiquée, mes yeux sont intoxiqués
Ma bouche est intoxiquée, mon coeur est intoxiqué
Mes bras sont intoxiqués, mon corps est intoxiqué
Mon âme est intoxiquée, ma vie est intoxiquée
Tout en moi tu vois, est intoxiqué de toi

New Spanish Two-Step
New Spanish Two-Step
Composer(s): Tommy Duncan; Bob Wills
Performer(s): Bob Wills;
Chet Atkins; Bill Boyd; Hank Snow
Down below the Rio Grande,
A senorita held my hand
And sweetly sang an old melody
Without a worry or a care
A rose she gave me from her hair
Then she whispered, "Si, Senor, si, si"
In a cabaret we danced the hours away
Her eyes told more than words dare could say
I told her I had to go
Left her down in Mexico
The band played Spanish Two-Step soft and low
I told her I had to go
Left her down in Mexico
The band played Spanish Two-Step soft and low

Composer(s): Brian James
Performer(s): The Damned;
and various other artists
Is she really going out with him?
I got a feeling inside of me
It's kind of strange like a stormy sea
I don't know why I don't know why
I guess these things have got to be
I gotta new rose I got her good
Guess I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town
See the sun see the sun it shines
Don't get too close or it'll burn your eyes
Don't you run away that way
You can come back another day
I got a new rose I got her good
Guess I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town
I never thought this could happen to me
This is strange why should it be
I don't deserve somebody this great
I'd better go or it'll be too late
I got a feeling inside of me
It's kind of strange like a stormy sea
I don't know why I don't know why
I guess these things have got to be
I got a new rose I got her good
Guess I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Quand je me sens mal
Dans ma peau
Je peux faire la malle
Illico
Dès que la speakerine
Ouvre son tiroir
J'ai mon héroïne
Avec télé-soir
Je vois des chauve-souris roses
Je suis sûr d'avoir ma dose
Intox intox intoxiqué
Opium opium télévisé
Si je n'ai pas d'veine
J'ai du pif
Quand je change de chaîne
C'est du kif
Je me fais des piqûres
Fort économiques
Avec leurs figures
De barbituriques
Je vois les chauve-souris roses
Je sens qu'j'ai déjà la dose
Intox intox intoxiqué
Opium opium télévisé
Quand ma virago
Fait des drames
En tournant le dos
A mon âme
Avec leur programme
Pas besoin de femmes
C'est un C.D.R.
Qui m'envoie en l'air
Je suis une chauve-souris rose
Je sens qu'j'ai la super dose
Intox intox intoxiqué
Opium opium télévisé
Mais j'arrive au bout
D'mon rouleau
Quand y'a l'présidou
Au micro
J'suis plus dans la course
Sur mon canapé
Je m'le tape en douce
Comme du L.S.D.
Je vois même la vie en rose
J'ai dû dépasser la dose
Intox intox intoxiqué
J'suis fou j'suis fou j'suis fou à lier...

New Orleans (Elvis Presley)
New Orleans
Composer(s): Sid Tepper; Roy C. Bennett
Performer(s): Elvis Presley
You'll never know
What heaven means
Until you've been down to New Orleans
You ain't been livin' till you cuddle and coo
With some black-eyed baby by de old bayou
You've never seen
You've never seen those Cupid doll queens
Like they got 'em in New Orleans
And, ooh, they love you like no-one can
It makes you awful glad that you were born a man
If-if-if you ain't been there
Then you ain't been nowhere
The livin's lazy and the lovin's fine
If you feel low down
So help me Hannah
You should lose the blues in Loui-si-i-si-ana
Get the lead
Get the lead out of your jeans
And hot foot it down, hot foot down to where?
New Orleans
Louisiana baby tells you stay awhile
Live it up, love it up, southern style
Way down in New Orleans

First release by: The Skids - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
Into the Valley
Betrothed and divine
Realisations no virtue
But who can define
Why soldiers go marching
Those masses a line
This disease is catching
From victory to stone
Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and sky
Ahoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldier
Ahoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then punctured
Ahoy! Ahoy! Long may they die
Out of concealment
Blank and stark eyed
Why so uncertain
This culture deceives
Prophesised, brainwashed
Tomorrow's demise
All systems failing
The placards unroll
Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and sky
Ahoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldier
Ahoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then punctured
Ahoy! Ahoy! Long may they die
Time for the audit
The gathering trial
A collectors dilemma
Repositioned and filed

Composer(s): Frank Guida; Joseph Royster
Performer(s): Gary "U.S." Bonds
Come on everybody take a trip with me
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
The honey suckle is bloomin on the honeysuckle vine
And love is blomin there all the time
Every Southern elle is a Mississippi queen
Down the Mississippi down in New Orleans
Come on take a stroll down to Basin Street
And listen to the music with the Dixieland beat
The magnolia bloosoms fills the air
If you ain't been to heaven, then you ain't been there
French moss hangin' from a big oak tree
Down the Mississippi down in New Orleans
Come on everybody take a trip with me
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
The honey suckle is bloomin on the honeysuckle vine
And love is blomin there all the time
Every Southern elle is a Mississippi queen
Down the Mississippi down in New Orleans

First release by: Van Morrison - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic
When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic
Come on girl...
Too late to stop now...

New Math
New Math
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
Some of you who have small children
may have perhaps been put in the embarrassing position
of being unable to do your child's arithmetic homework
because of the current revolution in mathematics teaching
known as the New Math
So as a public service here tonight
I thought I would offer a brief lesson in the New Math
Tonight, we're gonna cover subtraction
This is the first room I've worked for a while that didn't have a blackboard
so we will have to make do with more primitive visual aids
as they say in the ed biz
Consider the following subtraction problem
which I will put up here: 342 minus 173
Now, remember how we used to do that:
But in the new approach, as you know
the important thing is to understand what you're doing
rather than to get the right answer
Here's how they do it now:
You can't take three from two
Two is less than three
So you look at the four in the tens place
Now that's really four tens
So you make it three tens
Regroup, and you change a ten to ten ones
And you add 'em to the two and get twelve
And you take away three, that's nine
Is that clear?
Now instead of four in the tens place
You've got three
'Cause you added one
That is to say, ten, to the two
But you can't take seven from three
So you look in the hundreds place
From the three you then use one
To make ten ones...
(And you know why four plus minus one
Plus ten is fourteen minus one?
'Cause addition is commutative, right!)...
And so you've got thirteen tens
And you take away seven
And that leaves five...
Well, six actually...
But the idea is the important thing!
Now go back to the hundreds place
You're left with two
And you take away one from two
And that leaves...?
Everybody get one?
Not bad for the first day!
Hooray for New Math
New-hoo-hoo Math
It won't do you a bit of good to review math
It's so simple
So very simple
That only a child can do it!
Now, that actually is not the answer that I had in mind
because the book that I got this problem out of wants you to do it in base eight
But don't panic!
Base eight is just like base ten really - if you're missing two fingers!
Shall we have a go at it?
Hang on...
You can't take three from two
Two is less than three
So you look at the four in the eights place
Now that's really four eights
So you make it three eights
Regroup, and you change an eight to eight ones
And you add 'em to the two
And you get one-two base eight
Which is ten base ten
And you take away three, that's seven
Ok?
Now instead of four in the eights place
You've got three
'Cause you added one
That is to say, eight, to the two
But you can't take seven from three
So you look at the sixty-fours...
Sixty-four? "How did sixty-four get into it?"
I hear you cry!
Well, sixty-four is eight squared, don't you see?
Well, ya ask a silly question, ya get a silly answer...!
From the three, you then use one
To make eight ones
You add those ones to the three
And you get one-three base eight
Or, in other words
In base ten you have eleven
And you take away seven
And seven from eleven is four!
Now go back to the sixty-fours
You're left with two
And you take away one from two
And that leaves...?
Now, let's not always see the same hands!
One, that's right
Whoever got one can stay after the show and clean the erasers
Hooray for New Math
New-hoo-hoo Math!
It won't do you a bit of good to review math
It's so simple
So very simple
That only a child can do it!
Come back tomorrow night...we're gonna do fractions!

Into The Great Wide Open
Into The Great Wide Open
(Italian Version: Nel Grande Spazio Aperto - 1992)
Composer(s): Tom Petty; Jeff Lynne
Performer(s): Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - 1991
Eddie waited til' he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a night club he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said: "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Into the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
