Up From The Deep
Up From The Deep
Composer(s): Ray Trainer; The Tubes
Performer(s): The Tubes
Tell me how you want it
and that's we'll play it
Listen to our single
Watch how they play it
Tell me how you want it
That's how I'll have our guitar
player, Roger Steen, play it
Play this song together
That's how we like it
And all my boys will play along
Even if they don't like the song
Even if the progression's wrong
Wake us up from a sleep
Comin' up from the deep

Brandenburger Tor
Brandenburger Tor
First performance by: Ketil Stokkan - 1990
En heil verden va' te' stede
Førr å dele det som skjedde i høst
Vi så menneska gråte av glede
Og ei grense åpne mot øst
Ingen kunne la vær, alle sammen va' der
Og fick se Brandenburger Tor
Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor
Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
Vi ser Brandenburger Tor
Ja, vi ser Brandenburger Tor
Et heilt folk ville leve
Og førtelle om sin rike kultur
Vi så sannheta åpent på TV
Fra en bydel gjemt bak en mur
Byen løfta sitt slør, allting ser ut som før
Førr oss, på Brandenburger Tor
Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor
Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
Vi ser Brandenburger Tor
Etter mange lange år
En ny vår førr Brandenburger Tor
Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor
Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
Vi ser Brandenburger Tor
(Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor)
Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
Vi ser Brandenburger Tor
(Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor)
Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
Vi ser Brandenburger Tor
Ja, vi ser Brandenburger Tor

Up From The Skies
Up From The Skies
Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix
Performer(s): Jimi Hendrix;
and various other artists
I just want to talk to you
I won't uh, do you no harm
I just want to know about your different lives
on this here people farm
I heard some of you got your families
living in cages tall & cold
And some just stay there and dust away
past the age of old
Is this true?
Please let me talk to you
I just wanna know about
the rooms behind your minds
Do I see a vacuum there, or am I going blind?
Or is it just remains from vibrations and echoes long ago
Things like 'Love the World' and 'Let your fancy flow'
Is this true?
Please let me talk to you
Let me talk to you
I have lived here before, the days of ice
And of course this is why I'm so concerned
And I come back to find the stars misplaced
and the smell of a world that has burned
The smell of a world that has burned
Well, maybee, maybe it's just a change of climate
I can dig it, I can dig it baby, I just want to see
So where do I purchase my ticket
I would just like to have a ringside seat
I want to know about the new Mother Earth
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
Aw, shucks
If my daddy could see me now

Something For The Girl With Everything
Composer(s): Ron Mael
Performer(s): Sparks; Mark Burgess; Faith No More
Something for the girl with everything
See, the writings on the wall
You bought the girl a wall
Complete with matching ball-point pen
You can breathe another day
Secure in knowing she won't break you (yet)
Something for the girl with everything
Have another sweet my dear
Don't try to talk my dear
Your tiny little mouth is full
Here's a flavour you ain't tried
You shouldn't try to talk, your mouth is full
Something for the girl with everything
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Bearing gifts to aid amnesia
She knows everything
yes yes everyting
She knew way back when you weren't yourself
Something for the girl with everything
Here's a really pretty car
I hope it takes you far
I hope it takes you fast and far
Wow, the engines really loud
Nobody's gonna hear a thing you say
Something for the girl with everything
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Where should they leave these imported gimmicks
Leave them anywhere
An-an-anywhere
Make sure that there's a clear path to the door
Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Here's a patridge in a tree
A gardener for the tree
Complete with ornithologist
Careful, careful with that crate
You wouldn't want to dent Sinatra, no
Something for the girl who has got everything
Yes, yes, everything
Hey, come out and say hello
Before your friends all go
But say no more than just hello
Ah, the little girl is shy
You see of late she's been quite speechless
very speechless
She's got everything

Up In A Puff Of Smoke
Up In A Puff Of Smoke
Composer(s): Ron Roker; Gerry Shury; Phillip Swern
Performer(s): Polly Brown; The Rubinoos
Going up, up, up
Going up, going up
Going up, up, up
Going up, going up
Going up, up, up
Going up, going up, oh
Like a bubble
Headed for trouble
Wind is blowing
In the wrong direction
I was headed into danger
Too much in love to see
I pledged my trust in him
Believed in everything
Just had me on a string
And then he let me blow away
And now it's going
Up, up, up in a puff of smoke
It ain't no joke the way
He broke my heart
Going up, up, up in a puff of smoke
And I'm all choked up inside
To see my dreams just
Turn into ashes and all my
Hopes go up in a puff of smoke
Going up, going up
Going up, up, up
Going up, going up, oh
I aspire, took me higher than
A rocket on it's way to Heaven
Couldn't see those dangers coming
Cause I was flying blind
It hurt me deep inside
And broke my foolish pride
That my sweet talking guy
Was only talking lies
And now it's going
Up, up, up in a puff of smoke
It ain't no joke the way
He broke my heart
Going up, up, up in a puff of smoke
And I'm all choked up inside
To see my dreams just
Turn into ashes and all my
Hopes go up in a puff of smoke
He took me higher than a kite
Then dropped me like a light
Going up, up, up, up, up, up ,up
Thought I had a chance
But let me set you down
Going up, up, up, up, up, up ,up
Ooh, ooh, yeah
Going up, up, up, up, up, up ,up
Going up, up, up in a puff of smoke
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Going up, up, up in a puff of smoke
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Going up, up, up in a puff of smoke

Eitt Lag Enn
Eitt Lag Enn
First performance by: Stjórnin - 1990
Með þér - verð ég eins og vera ber
Alveg trylltur, kemst í takt við þig, þú tælir mig
Ég fer - eftir því sem augað sér
Þegar hugur girnist heimta ég, verð hættuleg
Eitt lag enn, ekta sveiflu og hér
Þreytist enginn, þú skalt dansa, það sem eftir er
Einn takt til! Tónar leika sér að
Því sem heillar mig og hæfir, beint í hjartastað
Hjá mér - engin spurning um það er
Þegar mætumst við á miðri leið, ég magna seið
Það er - ofsa fjör sem fylgir þér
Svo ég einhvern veginn umturnast, fæ æðiskast
Eitt lag enn, ekta sveiflu og hér
Þreytist enginn, þú skalt dansa, það sem eftir er
Einn takt til! Tónar leika sér að
Því sem heillar mig og hæfir, beint í hjartastað
Ég er frjáls í faðmi þér, við förum hvert sem er
Látum töfra lífsins tak' af okkur völd
Eitt lag enn, ekta sveiflu og hér
Þreytist enginn, þú skalt dansa, það sem eftir er
Einn takt til! Taflið snýst um það eitt
Að við höldum áfram hraðar, hikum aldrei neitt
Að við höldum áfram, hraðar nú
Hikum aldrei, ég og þú, - við neitt

Up In The World
Up In The World
Composer(s): Clifford T. Ward
Performer(s): Clifford T. Ward; Cliff Richard
You've come up in the world
And it's all to your credit
You made something of your life
Like you always said you would
But what ever happened to the girl
I used to know and all those halcyon days of love?
You've come up in the world
And it's such a shame
You made success of a dream
But it seems so empty now
With your weak excuses and your
Condescending ways and
Your all-too-frequent nights alone

Something For The Boys
Something For The Boys
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Evelyn Dall
and multiple other artists
I’m always doing something
Something for the boys
I’m always doing something
For the lads if it adds to their joy
So don’t tell me it’s a wrong thing
If I’m out with ‘em nightly till three
‘cos I’m always doing something for the boys
Or they’re doing something for me
Back in the days of gifty giving
When all God’s daddies had greens
I was oh so busy living
Beyond several gentlemen’s means
I didn’t care much where I fluttered
Long as my bank roll was buttered
But now my life’s completely cluttered
With soldiers, sailors
Not to speak of those big marines
‘cos I’m always doing something
Something for the boys
I’m always doing something
For the lads if it adds to their joy
So don’t tell me its a wrong thing
If I flop on some corporal’s knee
‘cos I’m always doing something for the boys
Or they’re doing something for me

Up On Cripple Creek
Up On Cripple Creek
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
Performer(s): The Band;
and various other artists
When I get off of this mountain
You know where I want to go
Straight down the Mississippi river
To the Gulf of Mexico
To Lake George, Louisiana
Little Bessie, girl that I once knew
And she told me just to come on by
If there's anything she could do
{Refrain}
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
Good luck had just stung me
To the race track I did go
She bet on one horse to win
And I bet on another to show
Odds were in my favor
I had him five to one
When that nag came around the track
Sure enough he had won
{Refrain}
I took up all of my winnings
And I gave my little Bessie half
And she tore it up and blew it in my face
Just for a laugh
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world
I sure would like to see
That's when that little love of mine
Dips her doughnut in my tea
{Refrain}
Now me and my mate were back at the shack
We had Spike Jones on the box
She said, "I can't take the way he sings
But I love to hear him talk"
Now that just gave my heart a fall
To the bottom of my feet
And I swore and I took another pull
My Bessie can't be beat
{Refrain}
Now, it's hot in California
And up north it's pretty cold
And this living off the road
Is getting pretty old
So I guess I'll call up my big mama
Tell her I'll be rolling in
Bet you know, deep down, I'm kinda tempted
To see my sweet Bessie again
{Refrain}

Give A Little Love Back To The World
Give A Little Love Back To The World
Composer(s): Paul Curtis
First performance by: Emma - 1990
We've come so far on this great planet
We should be proud of all the great things we've achieved
But in our search for life's great knowledge
We go on takin' out and never plant new seeds
Give a little love back to the world
We can't go on takin' out forever
Give a little love back to the world
We still got time, let's do it together
Give a little love back to the world
We've got to stop, think of tomorrow
One day our children may have nothing left to share
Let's do it now, then in the future
They will look back at us with pride and know we cared
Give a little love back to the world
We can't go on takin' out forever
Give a little love back to the world
We still got time, let's do it together
We got no time to hesitate
Tomorrow it may be too late
Give a little love back to the world
We can't go on takin' out forever
Give a little love back to the world
We still got time, let's do it together
We still got time, we can do it together
Give a little love back to the world
(Give a little love back) to the world

Something Following Me
Something Following Me
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum
While standing at the junction on 42nd Street
I idly kick a pebble lying near my feet
I hear a weird noise, take a look up and down
The cause of the commotion is right there on the ground
Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home
but there's no doubt about it, it's my own tombstone
I went into a shop, and bought a loaf of bread
I sank my teeth into it, thought I'd bust my head
I dashed to the dentist, said, 'I've got an awful pain!'
The man looks in my mouth and screams, 'This boy is insane!'
Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home
but there's a lump in my mouth of my own tombstone
I went to see a movie, got the only empty seat
I tried to stretch out in it, something blocking my feet
Finally the lights came up, and I could clearly see
a slab of engraved marble, just staring up at me
Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home
but there's no doubt I'm sitting on my own tombstone

Quand Je Te Rêve
Quand Je Te Rêve
First performance by: Céline Carzo - 1990
Je te vois tout en haut des tours dans les buildings de Singapour
Sous un peu de pluie à Cherbourg, dans les jardins du Luxembourg, loin toujours...
Un vol d'oiseaux sur Manhattan revient me dire que tu t'éloignes
Je dessine notre amour au fil de tes absences
Et c'est comme un été qui commence!
Quand je te rêve, y a plus d'heure, plus de distance
Rien n'a plus d'importance, j'oublie tous mes états d'urgence
Quand je te rêve, tu me prends, tu me soulèves
Un sourire sur tes lèvres et j'ai peur du jour qui se lève
Quand je te rêve, quand je te rêve
Tu m'attends sur le banc d'un square dans toutes les salles des aérogares
Je te croise au fond des regards derrière les glaces bleues des miroirs
Je devine ton visage dans toutes les transparences
Des voyages que je fais en silence
Quand je te rêve, y a plus d'heure, plus de distance
Rien n'a plus d'importance, j'oublie tous mes états d'urgence
Quand je te rêve, c'est comme un vent qui m'enlève
Qui me donne la fièvre, viens avant que la nuit s'achève
Viens dans mon rêve, viens dans mon rêve!
Viens dans mon rêve, viens dans mon rêve!
Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve!
Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve!
Viens dans mon rêve!
Oh... viens dans mon rêve
Oh...
Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve!
Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve!

Up The Hill Backwards
Up The Hill Backwards
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie
The vacuum created
by the arrival of freedom
And the possibilities it seems to offer
It's got nothing to do with you
if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you
if one can grasp it
A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart
Earth keeps on rolling
witnesses falling
It's got nothing to do with you
if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you
if one can grasp it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
up the hill backwards
It'll be alright ooo-ooo
While we sleep they go to work
We're legally crippled
it's the death of love
It's got nothing to do with you
if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you
if one can grasp it
More idols than realities
I'm OK, you're so-so
Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards
It'll be alright ooo-ooo

And we shall run across the sky

They'll all fade away

Where we can be

Where we can be
Closer to heaven

Ik Wil Alles Met Je Delen
Ik Wil Alles Met Je Delen
First performance by: Maywood - 1990
Jij bent niet de enige die zich verloren voelt
En al kwamen woorden harder aan dan ik ze had bedoeld
Ik meende alles wat ik zei, ik heb ook geleerd
Om te vechten voor een nieuwe dag, is dat dan verkeerd
Ik wil alles met je delen, 'k wil alles voor je zijn
En als je me wilt vertrouwen, dan delen we de pijn
Samen met je janken, samen uit je bol
Samen door het lint gaan, niets is mij te dol
Het leven is een carrousel, het leven is een straat
Die eens doodloopt als je niet meer weet hoe het verder gaat
Even, ja heel even maar denk je 't is voorbij
Maar ik hou van jou zoals je bent, hou je ook van mij
Ik wil alles met je delen, 'k wil alles voor je zijn
En als je me wilt vertrouwen, dan delen we de pijn
Samen met je janken, samen uit je bol
Samen door het lint gaan, niets is mij te dol
Als ik het licht zie aan de horizon
Weet ik nog hoe het was, hoe het eens begon
Ik wil alles met je delen, 'k wil alles voor je zijn
En als je me wilt vertrouwen, dan delen we de pijn
Samen met je janken, samen uit je bol
Samen door het lint gaan, niets is mij te dol

Up The 'Pool
Up The 'Pool
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
I'm going up the `pool from down the smoke below
to taste my mum's jam sarnies and see our Aunty Flo
The candyfloss salesman watches ladies in the sand
down for a freaky weekend in the hope that they'll be meeting
Mister Universe
The iron tower smiles down upon the silver sea
and along the golden mile they'll be swigging mugs of tea.
The politicians there who've come to take the air
while posing for the daily press
will look around and blame the mess on Edward Bear
There'll be bucket, spades and bingo, cockles, mussels, rainy days,
seaweed and sand castles, icy waves
Deck chairs, rubber dinghies, old vests, braces dangling down,
sun-tanned stranded starfish in a daze
We're going up the `pool from down the smoke below
to taste my mum's jam sarnies and see our Aunty Flo
The candy floss salesman watches ladies in the sand
down for a freaky weekend in the hope that they'll be meeting
Mister Universe
There'll be buckets, spades and bingo, cockles, mussels, rainy days,
seaweed and sand castles, icy waves
Deck chairs, rubber dinghies, old vests, braces dangling down,
sun-tanned stranded starfish in a daze
Oh Blackpool

Covered by multiple other artists
Darlin' darlin'
If I could have you to call my very own
I work my fingers to the bone, I am alone
To you I'd always come home
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you set my soul on fire
I need you, yeah, badly
I know what price I have to pay
'Cause without you, darlin', I'd worry hard
I love you anyway
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you're my only desire
I'm just yours puppet on a string
And tears sometimes it brings
Do me any way you wanna when you wanna
I'll keep you just the same
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
You're a real heartbreaker
You will never let me sit down
There's something about you, baby
That shakes me all up inside
You're a real heartbreaker
But I need you just the same ...
