Six O'clock


Six O'clock
Composer(s): John Sebastian
First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



There's something special 'bout six o'clock
In the morning when it's still too early to knock

And the dusky light shines down on the block
And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock

Six o'clock, six o'clock

A few hours ago she was standing here
Just watching the stars in our eyes and the lights as the tights
disappeared
And I could feel I could say what I want
That I could nudge her and call her my confidante
But now I'm all alone with just my shadow in front
At six o'clock, six o'clock

I went home and found that time to sleep was rare
Just watching my eyelids, knowing my brain bids the night not to care
I got up and got scufflin' around
But somehow it just wasn't the same happy town
And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound
At six o'clock, six o'clock

If I go back where we parted
Could I ever feel like that again
Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow
But what can I do 'til then

Guess I'll go back home and just wait until dawn
Yes, I had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all
And I wish my head had been working right
We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night
And now I'm back alone, bein' twisted up tight
Six o'clock, six o'clock

Now I'm back alone
Yes, now I'm back alone
I'm back alone

First release by: The Hollies - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



Look through any window yeah, what do you see?
Smilin' faces all around rushin' through the busy town

(Where do they go) movin' on their way
Walkin' down the highways and the by-ways
(Where do they go) movin' on their way
People with their shy ways and their sly ways

Oh you can see the little children all around
Oh you can see the little ladies in their gowns when you

Look through any window yeah, any time of day
See the drivers on the roads pullin' down their heavy loads

(Where do they go) movin' on their way
Drivin' down highways and the by-ways
(Where do they go) movin' on their way
Drivers with their shy ways and their sly ways

Oh you can see the little children all around
Oh you can see the little ladies in their gowns when you

Look through any window yeah, what do you see?
Smiling faces all around rushin' through the busy town

Movin' on their way
Movin' on their way
Movin' on their way

Wunder Gibt Es Immer Wieder


Wunder Gibt Es Immer Wieder
Composer(s): Christian Bruhn, Günter Loose
First performance by: Katja Ebstein - 1970



Viele Menschen fragen
was ist schuld daran
warum kommt das Glück
nicht zu mir?

Fangen mit dem Leben
viel zu wenig an
Dabei steht das Glück
schon vor der Tür

Wunder gibt es immer wieder
heute oder morgen
können sie geschehn

Wunder gibt es immer wieder
wenn sie dir begegnen
mußt du sie auch sehn

Viele Menschen suchen
jeden Tag auf's neu
jemand der sein Herz
ihnen gibt

Und wenn sie schon glauben
er kommt nie vorbei
finden sie den einen
der sie liebt

Look Over Your Shoulder


Look Over Your Shoulder
Composer(s): Alan Price
Performer(s): Alan Price



When there's a bluebird singing by your window pane
And the sun shines bright all day through
Don't forget boy
Look over your shoulder
'Cause there's always someone coming after you (la la la la)

When everything in life seems just as it should be
At last success seems just around the door
Don't forget boy
Look over your shoulder
'Cause things don't stay the same forever more (la la la la)

Hope springs eternal in a young man's breast
And he dreams of a better life ahead
Without that dream you are nothing, nothing, nothing
You have to find out for yourself that dream is dead (la la la la)

Dead (la la la la)
Dead (la la la la) ...

Six More Miles (To The Graveyard)


Six More Miles (To The Graveyard)

First recording/First release by: Hank Williams - 1947/1948
Covered by multiple other artists



Oh, the rain is slowly fallin'
And my heart is so sore
Six more miles and leave my darlin'
Never on this earth to meet no more

Six more miles to the graveyard
Six more miles long and sad
Six more miles and leave my darlin'
Leave the best friend I ever had

Oh, I hear the train a-comin'
Bringin' my darlin' back home
Six more miles to the graveyard
And I'll be left here all alone

Six more miles to the graveyard
Six more miles long and sad
Six more miles and leave my darlin'
Leave the best friend I ever had

Six more miles to the graveyard
Six more miles long and sad
Six more miles and leave my darlin'
Leave the best friend I ever had

Look Out, There's A Monster Coming


Look Out, There's A Monster Coming
Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall
Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band



Lonely, unmarried, looking for love
Life was passing me by
So I sent off my photo, hobbies and age
Magazine marriage I tried
They say for centuries lovely Japanese girls
Have been trained in the art of pleasing men
Be lonely no more, open destiny's door
For one dollar they arrange a meeting

My image was wrong, I didn't like me
So I changed my personality
I bought a delux Merseybeat wig
But it was a size too big
What confidence in my new built-up shoes
So smart for winter or summer
Undetectable in normal everyday use

Look out there's a monster coming!

Bye-bye binoculars and macintosh
Everything is just great
I take elocution, learn to speak posh
But still I can't find a mate
Be popular, learn to play the guitar
In seven days you could be strumming
Be sociable, learn kissing technique

Look out there's a monster coming!

Carnaby clothes, I reshaped my nose
Plastic surgery's best
To cut down my weight off comes my left leg
I pass a swimming costume test
Are my sideboards too long
Don't my aftershave pong?
I know my new nose ain't runnin'
What's wrong with my tie?
Am I getting too high?

Look out there's a monster coming!

Disfiguring and ugly, my facial hair
I had removed electrically
I rejuvenated my energy cells
And regained my virility (grunt grunt)
(He put my hand on my heart?)
(I am changing the part?)
He had a machine for a mummy
Please be gentle with me
I come to pieces literally

Look out there's a monster coming!
Look out there's a monster coming!
Look out there's a monster coming! ...

Marlène


Marlène
Composer(s): Henri Djian; Eddy Barclay; J. Walter
First performance by: Dominique Dussault - 1970



Une voix grave et nostalgique
Dans mon cur chante une musique, musique anachronique
Avec elle je reviens toujours
À l'époque du soixante dix-huit tours, rayé et oublié

C'était toi qui charmais, Marlène
Qui troublais, Marlène, c'était toi
Tu n'étais pas pour moi la reine des écrans, Marlène
Mais l'Ange Bleu qu'on n'oubliera jamais

De longs doigts, un fume-cigarette
Un regard qui n'en finissait pas, sait pas… sait pas, ses bas
Ses bas noirs en Cinérama
Une silhouette en sexyrama, Marlène, oui, c'est bien toi

Tu souris et je suis Marlène
Les gens crient: "Marlène!" - c'est pour moi
Je rêve d'un escalier de scène comme toi, Marlène
Que je descends langoureusement

Un mètre cinquante avec mes talons
Des cheveux frisés comme un mouton, oh… quelle désillusion
Je voulais tant lui ressembler
Vous ensorceler, vous 'Marléniser'
L'Ange Bleu… pour moi c'est raté

Sie sagte: "Die Liebe, das ist mein Leben"
"Nur auf die bin ich eingestellt"
Non, non, je ne peux pas
You take me, take me in the sky
You make me crazy in my mind
Jamais je ne pourrai
I want you, I love you, darling
I've got you
Je ne pourrai jamais, jamais chanter comme ça

First release by: Dusty Springfield - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go You've got the

Look of love, it's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss

How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go

Gwendolyne


Gwendolyne
Composer(s): Julio Iglesias
First performance by: Julio Iglesias - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



Tan dentro de mí
conservo el calor
que me haces sentir...
Conservo tu amor
tan dentro de mí
que aún puedo vivir
muriendo de amor
muriendo de ti
Como buscan las olas
la orilla del mar
como busca un marino
su puerto y su hogar
yo he buscado en mi alma
queriéndote hallar
y tan sólo encontré
mi soledad
Y a pesar que estás lejos
tan lejos de mí...
A pesar de otros besos
quizás, Gwendolyne
aún recuerdes el tiempo
de aquel nuestro amor...
Aún te acuerdes de mí
Y aún recuerdo aquel ayer
cuando estabas junto a mí
Tú me hablabas del amor
Yo aún podía sonreír...
Aún recuerdo aquel amor...
Y ahora te alejas de mí
Le he pedido al silencio
que me hable de ti
he vagado en la noche
queriéndote oír
y al murmullo del viento
le he oído decir
tu nombre: Gwendolyne

Magia


Magia
((Adapted from: The Look Of Love (by Dusty Springfield) - 1967))
Composer(s): Hal David - Burt Bacharach - Sergio Bardotti
Performer(s): Ornella Vanoni - 2002



La tua magia é qui
É in me
C'é l'ho e non va piú via

La tua magia
Sentir le cose
Che con la bocca non direi

Di porte sconosciute
Che non ho aperto mai

Di promesse e desideri
Spenti fino a ierei
di attimi ardenti

Neanche l'ho sapevo
Quanto li aspettavo

Ed é la tua
Magia che fa
Che puó
Che sá
Com'é che saró

Mi lascio andare
Son stanca di battaglie
che non ho vinto mai
andiamo dove vuoi
dove pensi che mi avrai

Sono solo tuoi bracieri solo da scaldare
Per essere ancora
Una che ci prova
Un'altra donna nuova
Lacia che sia
La tua magia per sempre mia

Six Lessons From Madame La Zonga


Six Lessons From Madame La Zonga
Composer(s): James V. Monaco; Charles Newman
Performer(s): Helen O'Connell
and multiple other artists



Six lessons from Madame La Zonga
You do the Rumba and the new La Conga
Six lessons in Madame’s cabana
And you will imagine you’re down in Havana

Her four Latin daughters will help you to start
While finding the rhythm you might lose your heart

Six lessons from Madame La Zonga
And you’ll develop your hip and your knee
And say, by the way, if you’re sure it’s okay
If Madame likes you, the lessons are free

Rosita gives you lesson one,
Chiquita gives you lesson two
Madame gives you all the rest
And her methods are the best

The Madame shows you how to walk
The Madame marks it with her chalk
When the Madame starts to squawk
That’s her Cuban double talk

Six lessons from Madame La Zonga
And you’ll develop your hip and your knee
And say, by the way, if your sure it’s OK
If Madame likes you, the lessons are free
If Madame likes you, the lessons are free!

Look Of Love


Look Of Love
Composer(s): Ellie Greenwich - Jeff Barry
Performer(s): Lesley Gore



Look at the way he looks at her
Look at the way he smiles
I remember when he was mine
I remember when things were fine
Oh, look at the way he looks at her now
Isn't that the look of love?

Look at the way he holds her hand
Look at the way they dance
I remember when he loved me
I remember how it used to be
But look at the way he smiles at her now
Isn't that the look of love?

Here I am, all by myself
Watching him with someone else
And he doesn't even know I'm here
Wish I could hold back my tears, 'cause

Look at the way he's kissing her
Look at him hold her tight
I remember his warm embrace
And the tender look on his face
Yes, look at the way he looks at her now
Isn't that the look of love?

(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Isn't that the look of love?
Whoa, oh, oh
Isn't that the look of love?
Hey, hey, hey
Isn't that the look of love? ...

Oh, whoa now
Isn't that the look of love?

Je Suis Tombé Du Ciel


Je Suis Tombé Du Ciel
Composer(s): Yves de Vriendt
First performance by: David-Alexandre Winter - 1970



Je vivais bien là-haut dans mes nuages
J'avais le cœur et la tête en voyage
Je me croyais tranquille pour longtemps
Pour longtemps

Chaque fois que je regardais la terre
Je la trouvais bien ronde et bien sévère
Je n'avais pas envie de voir les gens
Mais tout à coup, un jour, en te voyant

Je suis tombé du ciel pour me pencher sur toi
En arrivant du ciel, je suis tombé sur toi
Il m'est venu des ailes en m'approchant de toi
Je suis tombé du ciel et je suis fou de joie

Je n'irai plus jamais dans les nuages
Tu es ma ville et tu es mon village
J'ai découvert que le seul paradis
C'est ici

Dieu qu'on s'ennuie quand on plane là-haut
À vivre seul comme un triste pierrot
Quand il suffit de plonger dans tes yeux
Pour naviguer au milieu du ciel bleu

Je suis tombé du ciel pour me pencher sur toi
En arrivant du ciel, je suis tombé sur toi
Il m'est venu des ailes en m'approchant de toi
Je suis tombé du ciel et je suis fou de joie

La la la la la la... la la la la la la...
La la la la la la... et je suis fou de joie

Look Into The Sun


Look Into The Sun
Composer(s): Ian Anderson - Martin Barre
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



Took a sad song of one sweet evening
I smiled and quickly turned away
It's not easy singing sad songs
but still the easiest way I have to say
So when you look into the sun
and see the things we haven't done
oh was it better then to run
than to spend the summer crying
Now summer cannot come anyway

I had waited for time to change her
The only change that came was over me
She pretended not to want love
I hope she was only fooling me
So when you look into the sun
look for the pleasures nearly won
Or was it better then to run
than to spend the summer singing
And summer could have come in a day

So if you hear my sad song singing
remember who and what you nearly had
It's not easy singing sad songs
when you can sing the song to make me glad
So when you look into the sun
and see the words you could have sung
It's not too late, only begun
we can still make summer
Yes, summer always comes anyway

So when you look into the sun
and see the words you could have sung
It's not too late, only begun
Look into the sun

Six Jours Sur La Route


Six Jours Sur La Route
(Adapted from: Six Days On The Road - 1964)
Composer(s): Earl Green; Carl Montgomery; Yves Dessca
Performer(s): Claude François - 1975



Je sors de ma loge et je cours vers ma voiture
En passant j'embrasse une fille et je fais quelques signatures
Pardon si je suis pressé, c'est que je viens de passer
Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir

De ville en ville j'ai couru comme un fou me reposant à peine
Mais que c'est bon d'être sur scène et de chanter pour ceux qui vous aiment
Bientôt je repartirai, mais vraiment je n'en peux plus après
Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir

En roulant dans la nuit des choses fourmillent au fond de ma tête
Il me faut des chansons nouvelles et un nouveau pas pour les Claudettes
Encore ce sacré métier, suffit je lui ai donné
Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir

Soudain je pense à cette fille assise au premier rang
J'en étais un peu amoureux à la fin de mon tour de chant
J'aurais aimé la revoir, mais je lui ai dit bonsoir
Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir

Je suis heureux de retrouver tout à l'heure la fille de mon cœur
Et soudain je me sens l'envie d'appuyer sur l'accélérateur
Je rève de l'embrasser, sans elle c'est long de passer
Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir

Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir
Oui, ce soir

Time is on my side
Though the world keeps gettin' colder
'Cause I've got you, girl
To ease my troubled mind, ooh

That I never thought I'd find

And my pain about to leave

The world is a peaceful place
Oh, all I can see when there's you

Before our day is done
Oh, look in my eyes, pretty woman
And we'll overcome

Say look in my eyes, pretty woman

Six Jours À La Campagne


Six Jours À La Campagne
Composer(s): Hort Axton; Pierre Delanoë; Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Le premier jour, quand on s'est rencontrés
C'était le début du monde, la fin de l'ombre
Tout recommençait
Le second jour, quand on s'est reveillés
On a reveillé les sources, le vent qui soufflait
Sur les champs de blé

Au matin du troisième Dieu a créé l'Amour
Pour que tu m'aimes...
Tu m'as aimé six jours

Le jour suivant, parmi d'autres merveilles
On a créé la tendresse, quand Dieu n'as fait
Que l'eau et le soleil
Le cinquième jour un nuage est passé
J'avais perdu l'habitude, ma solitude
Tu l'as réinventée

Au matin du sixième Dieu a créé la Femme
Pour que tu m'aimes... six jours à la campagne

Ingen Regning


Ingen Regning
((Adapted from: No Charge (by Melba Montgomery) - 1974))
((French Version: Cadeau (by Marie Laforêt) - 1974))
Composer(s): Harlan Howard - Kurt Thyboe
Performer(s): Peter Belli - 1978



Vores lille knægt kom ud til mor i køkkenet en aften, mens hun stod og lavede mad
Og han gav hende en lille seddel, han havde skrevet
Og da hun havde tørret hænderne i forklædet, tog hun sedlen og læste den, mens jeg lyttede
Og her er, hvad der stod

For at slå græsset: 5kr
For at rede min seng hele ugen: 6kr
For at have gået til købmanden: 2kr
For at lege med lillebror, mens du var ude at købe ind: 2kr
For at bære skraldespanden ud: 3kr
Og for gode karakterer i skolen: 10kr
For at gøre rent i gården: 10kr
Så alt i alt skylder du mig: 38kr

Mor så lidt på knægten, der stod der og så så forventningsfuld ud
Og jeg kunne se, at hun tænkte tilbage på alle de år, som vi havde haft sammen med ham
Så tog hun blyanten, vendte sedlen om, og så skrev hun, og jeg læste det for ham

For den tid, jeg bar dig

mens du boede indeni mig: Ingen regning!
For de nætter jeg sad hos dig

græd for dig og bad for dig: Ingen regning!
For al den tid, al den frygt

du har kostet din mor: Ingen regning!
Lille søn, du skal vide, at for min kærlighed til dig

der er der bare ingen regning!
For de år, der vil komme

med angst for din fremtid: Ingen regning!
Og for alle mine gode råd

og for al min erfaring: Ingen regning!
For legetøj, mad og tøj, ja, selv for at snyde din

lille næse – der er bare ingen regning, søn!
Og læg alt det her sammen –

så er min kærlighed til dig bare uden regning!

Da jeg var færdig med at læse op, så havde min lille søn store tårer i øjnene
Han så op på sin mor, og han sagde: mor jeg elsker dig så meget!
Så tog han blyanten, og med store, skæve bogstaver skrev han

Alt er betalt!

Og til alle jer små venner ude i landet: Husk, at fars og mors kærlighed den koster ikke noget
(kor:) Så er min kærlighed til dig bare uden regning!
