Up, Up And Away
Up, Up And Away
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): The 5th Dimension;
and various other artists
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hide us
We'll keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Balloon ...
Up, up, and away.....

Quand j'étais seule avec ma peine

Et je n'oublierai pas ce qu'il a fait pour moi
Quelqu'un est venu vers moi
Et m'a parlé avec tendresse
Je m'souviens des mots qu'il a dit
Il parlait d'amitié, d'amour, de liberté
Et depuis ce jour merveilleux
Pour nous deux où tout est bleu
On est chaque jour plus heureux
Pour nous deux où tout est bleu
Quelqu'un est venu ce soir
Et il a dit les mots qu'il fallait dire
Quelqu'un s'est glissé dans ma vie
Et c'est depuis ce jour
Que je sais ce qu'est l'amour

Ups And Downs
Composer(s): Mark Lindsay; Terry Melcher
Performer(s): Paul Revere & The Raiders;
and various other artists
Now, things was looking golden, baby
Everything was fine
You never made no sign
That you had changed your mind
I guess I was mistaken, girl
To count so on you
What else could I do
Time to pay my dues
Well girl, I've been torn up before
But I can't handle that once more
Well I been down for a long long time
And now it's time to reach my mind
There's lots of pain upon this earth
Girl, I've had my money's worth
I have had my ups and downs and all around
Girl, I've tried to change your way of thinkin'
Tried to make you see
Well, livin' here with me
Is where you ought to be
But it didn't seem to make no difference
It never changed your world
Or stopped your social twirl
You're still the same old girl
And now, I've been torn up before
But I can't handle that once more
I been down for a long long time
But now it's time to reach my mind
'Cause there's lots of pain upon this earth
And girl, I've had my money's worth
I have had my ups and downs and all around
I've been up, down, all around now baby (up, down, all around)
I've been up, I been down, I been all around now baby (up, down, all around)
Yeah we've both been up and down and all around baby(up, down, all around)
You go up, you go down, you go all around now baby (up, down, all around)
Yes, I'm up, I'm down, all around now baby (up, down, all around)
Up and down and all around

Flieger
Flieger
First performance by: Nino De Angelo - 1989
Du und ich
wir sind so hoch geflogen vor gar nicht langer Zeit
ein Flugzeug voll mit jungen Träumen stand für uns bereit
Das mit uns war so groß
wir eroberten den Himmel
warum liess't du mich nur los ohne Fallschirm in der Nacht?
Ich hab' die Zeit nie ganz vergessen
als wir noch Flieger war'n
du gehst nicht raus aus meinem Herzen
ich denk' nur noch daran
Du hast oft gesagt
wir sind stark
wir zwei
so was geht doch nicht einfach so vorbei
Ich hab' die Zeit nie ganz vergessen
als wir noch Flieger war'n
Würd' es gern nochmal mit dir erleben
so'n Flug ins Abendrot
würde gern nochmal mein Herz riskieren
sogar bis in den Tod.
Das mit uns war so groß
so was gibt es nur noch selten
werden wir nur einmal noch auf den Wolken uns verlier'n?
Ich hab' die Zeit nie ganz vergessen
als wir noch Flieger war'n
du gehst nicht raus aus meinem Herzen
ich denk' nur noch daran
Du hast oft gesagt
wir sind stark
wir zwei
so was geht doch nicht einfach so vorbei
Ich hab' die Zeit

First release by: Eddie Cochran - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
A look a-there, here she comes
There comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since I don't know when
But she don't notice me when I pass
She goes with all the guys from outa my class
But that can't stop me from a-thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin' man, she's something else
Hey, look a-there, across the street
There's a car made just for me
To own that car would be a luxery
But my dollar can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is outa my class
But that can't stop me from a—thinkin' to myself
That car's fine lookin' man, it's something else
Hey, look a—here, just wait and see
Worked hard and saved my dough
I'll buy that car that I been wanting so
Get me that girl and we'll go ridin' around
We'll look real sharp with the flight top down
I keep right on a-dreamin' and a-thinkin' to myself
When it all comes true man, wow, that's something else
Look a-there, what's all this
Never thought I'd do this before
But here I am a-knockin' on her door
My car's out front and it's all mine
Just a forty-one Ford, not a fifty-nine
I got that girl an' I'm a-thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin' man, wow, she's something else

Uptight (Everything's Alright)
Uptight (Everything's Alright)
((French Version: Les Coups) (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1966))
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder - Henry Cosby - Sylvia Rose Moy
First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight
I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks
The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back
But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy
Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye
When we go out stepping on the town for a while
My money's low and my suit's out of style
But it's all right if my clothes aren't new
Out of sight because my heart is true
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
I'm a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say
I guess her folks brought her up that way
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised
In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids
No one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy
No football hero or smooth Don Juan
Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poorman's son
She says give her the things that money can buy
But I'll never, never make my baby cry
And it's all right, what I can't do
Out of sight because my heart is true
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight

Composer(s): Valgeir Guðjónsson
First performance by: Daníel Ágúst Haraldsson - 1989
Lýstu mina leið, lostafulli gamli máni
Þótt gatan virðist greið er samt ýmislegt sem enginn sér
Veröldin er full af fólki í leit að hamingjunni
Sem glóir eins og gull í glætunni, ó tungl, frá þér
Horfðu aftur í augun á mér
Horfðu aftur, ég bíð eftir þér
Horfðu aftur í augun á mér
Og þú færð að sjá það sem enginn sér
Allir eiga þrá um eitthvað sem þeir engum segja
Ég ætla ef ég má að eiga leyndarmál með þér
Lýstu mina leið, ó, þú lostafulli gamli máni
Þótt gatan virðist greið er samt ýmislegt sem enginn sér
Horfðu aftur í augun á mér
Horfðu aftur, ég bíð eftir þér
Horfðu aftur í augun á mér
Og þú færð að sjá það sem enginn sér
Horfðu aftur í augun á mér
Horfðu aftur, ég bíð eftir þér
Horfðu aftur í augun á mér
Og þú færð að sjá það sem enginn sér

Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, there lives a doll just made for me
She's the finest thing that you've ever seen, oh ho ha

Uptown, but she never ever looks my way
I'm just a bellhop, you see I can't stop
And tell her what I wanna say
That one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever-lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes
And then I'll be
Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me
Yeah, one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever-lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes

Somesay
Somesay
Composer(s): Rob Jones - Pete Wylie
The Mighty Wah!
Somesay they offer a choice...
Somesay - to fall or be punished
Somesay we must end up nowhere
But they - their lives must be hushed!
Tired of looking in mirrors, seeing things I'll never be...
Angry with the figureheads who send us up blind alleys...
Bug guns come blasting - I'll have to stay and fight...
Big hooks are coming and the little fish they bite
Somesay: "these things aren't for long"
Somesay - but history will tell
Somesay - what's happened is just the start
Somesay - less pain when we yell!
Talk about the future, listen to the past
Dance dance dance dance to the music of the last chance man
He's died a dozen deaths - he'll die a dozen more
Trouble from the start with a mind like yours
Somesay: "The truth is in check"
Somesay: "It's black or it's white"
Somesay - the secret's to not turn back...
Somesay - Stay! it's time for the fight!
Fight the liars!
Fight the liars!
Ain't it the truth!

Uptown
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): The Crystals; Little Eva
He gets up each morning and he goes downtown
Where everyone's his boss and he's lost in an angry land
He's a little man
But then he comes uptown each evenin' to my tenement
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent
And when he's there with me he can see that he's everything
Then he's tall, he don't crawl, he's a king
Downtown he's just one of a million guys
He don't get no breaks and he takes all they got to give
'Cause he's got to live
But then he comes uptown where he can hold his head up high
Uptown he knows that I am standing by
And when I take his hand, there's no man who could put him down
The world is sweet, it's at his feet, when he's uptown
Whoa-oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah,
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh-yeah
Let me tell ya now
Uptown where he can hold his head up high
Uptown he knows that I am standing by
And when I take his hand, there's no man who could put him down
The world is sweet, it's at his feet, when he's uptown
Whoa- oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Let me tell ya now, uptown..
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Une Star À Sa Façon
Une Star À Sa Façon
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel; Alain Salvati
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Elle vit tout doucement
Pour son homme et ses enfants
Sans jamais trop s'écarter
Des mots que Dieu lui a dicté
C'est quelqu'un dont on ne parle pas
Et je l'aime pour ça
C'est une fleur sur l'horizon
Une star à sa façon
J'ai découvert le matin
Dans la chaleur de ses mains
Et j'ai grandi bien au fond
De son palais de coton
C'est quelqu'un dont on ne parle pas
Et je l'aime pour ça
C'est la reine dans sa maison
Une star à sa façon
Elle m'appelle et puis autour de moi
C'est le printemps à chaque fois
Elle est si belle que je lui ai dit
Les premiers mots de ma vie
Surtout ne me demandez pas
De vous la montrer du doigt
Avec vos yeux d'étranger
Vous n'allez rien remarquer
Mais ce quelqu'un dont on ne parle pas
C'est plus que tu ne crois
C'est le titre de ma chanson
Une star à sa façon
Elle m'appelle et puis autour de moi
C'est le printemps à chaque fois
Elle est si belle que je lui ai dit
Les premiers mots de ma vie

Someone's Taken Maria Away
Someone's Taken Maria Away
Composer(s): Chris Andrews
Performer(s): Adam Faith & The Roulettes; Chris Andrews
Warm was the sun when I first met Marie
A living angel appeared before me
Music played and I was in her arms
I surrendered to her charms
Someone's taken Maria away
Somebody's taken Maria away
She won't come back no more, no, no, no, no
I can't forget how we laughed in the rain
Moments so sweet, will I find them again
I can't say just how much I miss
Her lips being there to kiss
Someone's taken Maria away
Somebody's taken Maria away
She won't come back no more, no, no, no, no
And now she is gone, tears and smile I'll miss them all
No more I'll hear her sweet voice when I call
And if sometimes you should see me cry
It's `cause I'm wonderin' why
Someone's taken Maria away
Somebody's taken Maria away
She won't come back no more, no, no, no, no
Somebody's taken Maria away
Somebody's taken Maria away
She won't come back no more, no, no, no, no
Somebody's taken Maria ...

Une Valse
Une Valse
Composer(s): Jacques Plante; Charles Dumont
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Une valse
Une étrange valse
Tient toute la place
Dans ma rêverie
Et dans ma vie
Elle évoque
Une lointaine époque
Un décor baroque
L'ancienne Russie
Et ses folies
Et j'invente
Une ville immense
Qui chante et qui danse
Le Saint-Pétersbourg
Des nuits blanches
Je m'évade
Roulée dans ces vagues
Touchée par la grâce
Je ferme les yeux
C'est merveilleux...
Et ma valse
Tourne dans les glaces
De tout un palace
D'or et de cristal
Ces soirs de bal
Robe longue
Envol de colombe
La lumière et l'ombre
Tout tourne à la fois
Autour de moi
J'ai la fièvre
De sang sur mes lèvres
Le feu de la fête
Je ne sais plus bien
Si je rêve...
Et je danse
Dans ma robe blanche
Deux doigts sous la manche
D'un jeune aspirant
J'ai dix-sept ans
Cette valse
Ce n'est que la valse
Que l'orchestre en face
Dans ce cabaret
Joue sans arrêt
Mon beau prince
N'est ni grand, ni mince
Dans le froid qui pince
Il fait son métier
C'est le portier
Du ciel pâle
Une neige sale
Descend en rafales
Et tombe sans bruit
Sur Pigalle...
Les enseignes
En lettres qui saignent
S'allument et s'éteignent
Au cœur de Paris
Hôtel de Russie...
Hôtel de Russie...
Hôtel de Russie...

That's What It's Like To Be Lonesome
That's What It's Like To Be Lonesome
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
First recording/First release by: Bill Anderson - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists
The streets are dark and empty and you walk them all alone
You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong
You go to bed each night and pray you'll never see the dawn
Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown
And that's what it's like to be lonesome
With a heart a broken love taught to cry
And that's what it's like to be lonesome
I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy
You search to find a tavern where the music is playing loud
You try to lose your heartaches in the laughter of the crowd
But the happy couples make you think of things that might have been
And you have to fight the teardrops till you're by yourself again
And that's what it's like to be lonesome
With a heart a broken love taught to cry
And that's what it's like to be lonesome
I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy

Composer(s): J. Dréjac; Michel Legrand
Performer(s): Dalida
Une vie c'est un instant c'est une éternité
Une vie c'est minuscule et c'est illimitée
Une vie c'est un mensonge et une vérité
Une vie c'est fait de rêves et de réalités
Une vie c'est un frisson qui vient dont ne sait où
Une vie une étincelle sur un peu de boue
Une vie c'est une flamme qui nous tient debout
Une vie c'est toi, c'est moi, c'est vous, c'est nous
Mon amour, que c'est beau
Les oiseaux du matin sur tes lèvres
Mon amour, que c'est chaud
Ce ruisseau dans nos mains cette fièvre
Notre vie c'est toi, c'est moi
C'est nos doigts enlacés
Notre vie c'est le printemps toujours recommencé
Notre vie c'est mon bonheur de pouvoir t'embrasser
Notre envie de vivre ensemble et de nous caresser
Notre vie dans chaque instant est une éternité
Notre vie faite de rêves et de réalités
Notre vie c'est une étoile en moi qui va briller
Notre vie c'est un enfant qui va crier

You used to be my lover
We did it under cover
Now it's all out in the open
You went and told your brother
Your brother told your mother
Your mother told your father
Your father beat the shit out of me
Your father, he told me
He never wants to see me
Hangin' around anymore
He said if he found me
He'd take me up and ground me
And make enchiladas out of me
Velma from Selma
Won't you please tell me what to do
You wanna be my lover
We got some ground to cover
'Cos I sure don't wanna be no enchilada
