Pirates
Pirates
Composer(s): Nick Thorkelson
Performer(s): Peter Tork
Listen up alla you pirates
You buccaneers and such
Take a sad warning from my sad song
And don't push your luck too much
I used to run all around town
Makin' and breakin' love
But all my runnin' didn't seem so cunnin'
When push came down to shove
Chorus:
'Cause when I came upon you, Baby
I didn't know what it was all about
'Cause when I ran, and then I ran
From true love
And then I ran
Until my heart gave out
Thinkin' about those hot nights
When the neighbors began to talk.
I thought love was easy to get
Until I took a walk
Now I'm here in a cold place
Sittin' so all alone
I didn't know it could be so bad
Until I quit my happy home
Chorus
And didn't it always seem that you can't keep
A good man down?
But when I came of age
Livin' it up was all the rage
Chorus

À La Folie Ou Pas Du Tout
À La Folie Ou Pas Du Tout
First performance by: Serge & Christine Ghisoland - 1972
On aime à la folie ou pas du tout
L'amour n'est rien quand il ne rend pas fou
Mais on fait dire aux fleurs n'importe quoi
On s'aime un peu beaucoup et on le croit
Moi, si je cueille la fleur des champs
(Moi, si je cueille la fleur des champs)
Ce n'est qu'au vent que je l'effeuille
(Ce n'est qu'au vent que je l'effeuille)
Un peu beaucoup: ces mots nous feraient peur
Ce n'est jamais assez au gré du cœur
L'amour n'est rien s'il ne nous rend pas fous
On aime à la folie ou pas du tout
On aime à la folie ou pas du tout
L'amour n'est rien quand il ne rend pas fou
Mais on fait dire aux fleurs n'importe quoi
On s'aime un peu beaucoup et on le croit
On aime à la folie ou pas du tout
L'amour n'est rien quand il ne rend pas fou
Mais on fait dire aux fleurs n'importe quoi
On s'aime un peu beaucoup et on le croit

Pipeliner Blues
Pipeliner Blues (aka Old Pipeliner)
Composer(s): Moon Mullican
Performer(s): Moon Mullican;
and various other artists
I'm an old pipeliner, I lay my line all day
I'm an old pipeliner, I lay my line all day
I got four or five women waiting to draw my pay
I lay my line until the sun goes down
I lay my line until the sun goes down
Home to my woman, the meanest gal in town
When you see me coming, raise your window high
When you see me coming, raise your window high
See me leaving, hang your head and cry
You never miss your water until the well runs dry
You never miss your water until the well runs dry
You never miss your baby until she says goodbye

Sky Fits Heaven
Sky Fits Heaven
Composer(s): Madonna; Patrick Leonard
Performer(s): Madonna
Sky fits heaven so fly it
That's what the prophet said to me
Child fits mother so hold your baby tight
That's what my future could see
Fate fits karma so use it
That's what the wise man said to me
Love fits virtue so hold on to the light
That's what our future will be
Traveling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Traveling down their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start
Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as I go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as they go
Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as I go
Hand fits giving so do it
That's what the Gospel said to me
Life fits living so let your judgments go
That's how our future should be
Traveling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Traveling down their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start
Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as they go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as I go
Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as I go

Mille violini suonati dal vento
Tutti i colori dell'arcobaleno
Vanno a fermare una pioggia d'argento
Ma piove, piove sul nostro amor
Ciao, ciao, bambina, un bacio ancora
E poi per sempre ti perderò
Come una fiaba, l'amore passa
C'era una volta poi non c'è più
Cos'è che trema sul tuo vizino
È pioggia o pianto dimmi cos'è
Vorrei trovare parole nuove
Ma piove, piove sul nostro amor
Ciao, bambina!
Ti voglio bene da morire!
Ciao! Ciao!
Ciao, ciao, bambina, non ti voltare
Non posso dirti rimani ancor
Vorrei trovare parole nuove
Ma piove, piove sul nostro amor

The Sky Fell Down
The Sky Fell Down
Composer(s): Louis Alter - Edward Heyman
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists
The sky fell down when I met you
The green of the countryside has turned to blue
I had the moon right on my fingertips
And when first we kissed, there were stars on your lips
To be with you just made it seem
That walking on snowy clouds was not a dream
You gave to me all this and heaven too
When the sky fell down and I met you

Pioneros
Pioneros
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
El domingo me fui a la sanzala
me puse las alas, me sentí mejor
porque oyendo un cantar de pioneros
me sentí más lleno de Patria y de amor
Fue como regresar a un lugar
donde guardo raíces y luceros
Fue como si mi niña cantara
y, más, me abrazara en aquella canción
Fui papá de un pionero de guerra
aquí en esta tierra cantándole al sol

Härliga Sommardag
Härliga Sommardag
Composer(s): Håkan Elmquist
First performance by: Family Four - 1972
Morgonsol glittrar i viken
Dagen gryr, sista gång blinkar Hanö fyr
Ser du vår segelbåt? Hör du musiken?
När vi styr mot ett nytt äventyr
Nynna en sång, tralla en trall
Gnola en låt som minner om sommar
Känn hur det doftar ifrån salta hav
När vi nynnar en sång, trallar en trall
Gnolar en låt som minner om sommar
Sjung om en härlig sommardag
Vind från öst
Rykande vågor med vita gäss
Svällande segel
Som slår när vi går mot vår ö
I en vik kastar vi ankar
Tar ett dopp, har det skönt på en solvarm häll
Innan i sakta mak hemåt vi vankar
Över ön i en skön sommarkväll
Nynna en sång, tralla en trall
Gnola en låt som minner om sommar
Känn hur det doftar ifrån salta hav
När vi nynnar en sång, trallar en trall
Gnolar en låt som minner om sommar
Sjung om en härlig sommar... sommar...
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Sjung om en härlig sommar...
Härliga dag, härliga sommardag

Pinto The Wonder Horse Is Dead
Pinto The Wonder Horse Is Dead
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Tom T. Hall
I read it in the paper just about a week ago
It was on the back page and not many people know
Boy it made me feel bad when I picked it up and read
Pinto the wonder horse is dead
Oh, we rode the dusty trails together
At the Saturday morning picture show
The dusty trails are gone now, but it hurts to hear it said
Pinto the wonder horse is dead
My memory goes back to when I was a little kid
We believed in everything that Pinto ever did
Will our kids have a hero half as brave or half as strong
Pinto the wonder horse is gone
Oh, we rode the dusty trails together
At the Saturday morning picture show
The dusty trails are gone now, but it hurts to hear it said
Pinto the wonder horse is dead
We believed that Pinto was the fastest horse alive
If he outrun the wind itself, we never were surprised
In my childhood memory full of boys grownin' to men
Pinto the wonder rides again
Oh, we rode the dusty trails together
At the Saturday morning picture show
The dusty trails are gone now, but it hurts to hear it said
Pinto the wonder horse is dead
Pinto the wonder horse is gone

Sky Fell
Sky Fell
Composer(s): Judy Collins
Performer(s): Judy Collins; Linda S. Collins
The rain is falling down
Along with the sky
The colors and remembered suns
Are pouring by
What will I do with the sky
When it is empty?
Come to the window
Put your arms around me again
If you don't hold me
I will wash away with the rain
What will I do with my arms
When they are empty?
I'll just stand here and watch
The sky fall while you
Put yourself together
While you gather up the time it took
to
Make us think we would last forever.
The window fills your face
With silver and grain,
You're soaking up the sky
I'll never see it again
What will I do with the sky
When it is empty
What will I do with my life
When you have left me?

Performer(s): Reba McEntire; The Whites
Chorus:
Pins and needles
Needles and pins
One by one I feel them at my heart again
I think I'm getting over you and then
Pins and needles
Needles and pins
I don't know why
I get uneasy
Every time I hear your name
I feel a sting from every memory
That we made
Repeat Chorus
That tiny ache
Can always find me
Anytime that you are near
Those little things
Can still remind me
That you don't care
Repeat Chorus
(Pins and needles
Pins and needles
Pins and needles
Needles and pins)

Falter im Wind
Falter im Wind
Composer(s): Richard Schönherz; Manuel Rigoni; Heinz Unger
First performance by: Milestones - 1972
Bleib' nicht im Wald, Schmetterling und verflieg' dich nicht bei Nacht
Falsch ist der Mond, sein Schattenspiel, in der Dämmerung ist kein Halt
Bleib' nicht in den Wäldern
Bleib' nicht in den Wäldern
Bleib' nicht in den Wäldern
Tanz um die Lichter, Schmetterling - deine Farben flammen auf
Tot ist die Nacht, in deinem Tanz, ist das Leben hell wie Tag
Fall nicht in die Sonne
Fall nicht in die Sonne
Fall nicht in die Sonne
Falter im Wind, wie Zeit, die verrinnt
Wie Sand in der Hand, verweht, verbrannt
Hörst du es nicht? - Ein Flügel zerbricht
Ein Flüstern verspricht Licht
Hell ist dein Tag, darum tanze schnell, er währt einen Flügelschlag
Tanz um die Lichter, Schmetterling, bald fällt Abendnebel ein
Fall nicht in die Sonne
Fall nicht in die Sonne
Fall nicht in die Sonne
Falter im Wind, wie Zeit, die verrinnt
Wie Sand in der Hand, verweht, verbrannt
Hörst du es nicht? - Ein Flügel zerbricht
Ein Flüstern verspricht Licht
Falter im Wind, wie Zeit, die verrinnt
Wie Sand in der Hand, verweht, verbrannt
Hörst du es nicht? - Ein Flügel zerbricht
Ein Flüstern verspricht Licht

Pinky
Pinky
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John
I don't want to wake you
But I'd like to tell you that I love you
That the candlelight fell like a crescent
Upon your feather pillow
For there's more ways than one
And the ways of the world are a blessing
For when Pinky's dreaming
She owes the world nothing
And her silence keeps us guessing
Pinky's as perfect as the Fourth of July
Quilted and timeless, seldom denied
The trial and the error of my master plan
Now she rolls like the dice in a poor gambler's hands
You don't want to tell me
But somehow you've guessed that I know
Oh when dawn came this morning
You discovered a feeling that burned like a flame in your soul
For there's toast and honey
And there's breakfast in bed on a tray
Oh it's ten below zero
And we're about to abandon our plans for the day

Files in the sugar bowl, shoo, shoo, shoo...
Skip, skip, skip to my lou...
Skip to my lou my darling
Little red wagon painted blue...
Going to Texas, two by two...

Pinksterdaghotel
Pinksterdaghotel
Composer(s): A. Spyropoulos; C. Nooteboom; P. Campbell-Lyons
Performer(s): Liesbeth List
Onder de oceaan der stilte op de maan
rijst het Pinksterdaghotel op aard zijn spinrag
De sterren staan in brand, de golven goud gevlamd
en alle gasten baden in het vuurwerk
En in de lobby zorgt godin Aphrodite
voor alle gasten met het paspoort van de waanzin
En 7 nimfen zweven rond door de gangen
van het Pinksterdaghotel
De nacht wordt zwaar en loom
je brengt me naar een droom
en kroont me daar tot koningin der zeeën
Vanuit mijn droompaleis wordt d'aarde doods en grijs
maar 't Pinksterdaghotel rijst uit het spinrag
En in de lobby zorgt godin Aphrodite
voor alle gasten met het paspoort van de waanzin
En 7 nimfen zweven rond door de gangen
van het Pinksterdaghotel
van het Pinksterdaghotel

Muistathan
Muistathan
Composer(s): Juha Flinck; Nacke Johansson
First performance by: Päivi Paunu & Kim Floor - 1972
Muistathan sä yöistä tuon suloisimman
päivän ihanan sekä kauniin illan
hetken jolloin käteeni ensi kerran otit omaasi lämpimään
Kävelimme kahden vain hetken verran
läpi puistikon poikki vanhan sillan
Tuokio tuo pieni meille riitti silloin onnen antamaan
Kohtasimme keskellä ihmisten
Sattumako, ei mä tiedän sen
Kohtalo toi eteemme rakkauden ja onnen maan
On onnea surukin osaltaan
Se vain elämänä täytyy oivaltaa
Miksi ihmisellä muuten oliskaan taito naurahtaa
Kävelimme kahden vain hetken verran
Läpi puistikon poikki vanhan sillan
Tuokio tuo pieni meille riitti silloin onnen antamaan
Unessako kenties mä näin jo sun
Siitä varmaan johtui tää tunne mun
Elänyt oon ennenkin hetkisen mä pienoisen
Unta varmaan se kaikki on vieläkin
puisto, silta sekä kätes lämpimin
Sekunnissa elin elämän melkein ikuisen
La la la la laa...
