Something's Wrong


Something's Wrong
Composer(s): James Taylor
Performer(s): James Taylor



Something's wrong, that restless feeling's been preying on your mind
Road maps in a well-cracked ceiling, the signs aren't hard to find
Now I'm not saying that you've been mistreated
no one's hurt you, nothing's wrong. A moment's rest was all you needed
So pack your things and kindly move along

Like dust in the wind you're gone forever
You're wind-blown leaves, you're a change in the weather
Just a town like any other, a second brand new start
A third or fourth hand, wife or lover, no, you won't break her heart
Take some bacon, go on and leave your watch chain
She won't count on nothing more
Wrap your hands around that small change and tiptoe barefoot out the door

Yes, something's wrong, that restless feeling's been preying on my mind
When things get bad I'm bound to pack my bags and just leave them all behind

Eu te proponho
Nós nos amarmos
Nos entregarmos
Neste momento
Tudo lá fora deixar ficar
Eu te proponho
Te dar meu corpo
Depois do amor o meu conforto
E além de tudo
Depois de tudo
Te dar a minha paz
Eu te proponho
Na madrugada
Você cansada
Te dar meu braço
No meu abraço
Fazer você dormir
Eu te proponho
Não dizer nada
Seguirmos juntos a mesma estrada
Que continua
Depois do amor
No amanhecer

Lusitana Paixão


Lusitana Paixão
Composer(s): José Da Ponte - Fred Micaelo - Jorge Quintela
First performance by: Dulce Pontes - 1991



Fado
Chorar a tristeza bem
Fado adormecer com a dor
Fado só quando a saudade vem
Arrancar do meu passado
Um grande amor

Mas
Não condeno essa paixão
Essa mágoa das palavras
Que a guitarra vai gemendo também
Eu não, eu não pedirei perdão
Quando gozar o pecado
E voltar a dar a mim
Porque eu quero ser feliz
E a desdita não se diz
Não quero o que o fado quer dizer

Fado
Soluçar recordações
Fado
Reviver uma tal dor
Fado
Só quando a saudade vem
Arrancar do meu passado um grande amor

Mas não conceno essa paixão
Essa mágoa das palavras
Que a guitarra vai gemendo também
Eu não, eu não pedirei perdão
Quando gozar o pecado
E voltar a dar a mim
Eu sei desse lado que há em nós
Cheio de alma lusitana
Como a lenda da Severa
Porque eu quero ser feliz
E a desdita não se diz
O fado
Não me faz arrepender
Porque eu quero ser feliz
E a desdita não se diz
O fado
Não me faz arrepender

Proper Stranger


Proper Stranger
Composer(s): Randy Bachman; Burton Cummings
Performer(s): The Guess Who



Dark day, windy city
Raincoat on my shoulder
So take my hand and show me where to go
'Cause don't you know I'm the proper stranger

Traffic lights, dusty sidewalks
Freeway people on the move
So take my hand and show me where to go
'Cause don't you know I'm the proper stranger

I'm the proper stranger Nobody knows my face or
Knows my name
Nobody knows where I'm goin' or
How I came

Lost and found, no one claimed me
All alone with a milllion others
So take my hand and show me where to go
'Cause don't you know I'm the proper stranger

Something's Gotta Give


Something's Gotta Give
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer
First performance by: Fred Astaire - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists



Something's got to give
Something's got to give
Something's got to give

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet just as sure as you live

Something's got to give
Something's got to give
Something's got to give

When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no, because I insist
Somewhere, somehow, someone's got to be kissed

So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store?
From their vast mysterious sky?
I'll try hard ignoring those lips that I adore
But how long can anyone try?

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as we live

Something's got to give
Something's got to give
Something's got to give

Fight fight fight it with all of your might
Chances are that some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as we live

Something's got to give
Something's got to give
Something's got to give

Something's got to give
Something's got to give

Aww, let's tear it up!

Proper Cup Of Coffee


Proper Cup Of Coffee
Composer(s): Aaron Gershunoff; Emanuele Pellegrini
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters



A Sultan sat on his oriental mat
in his harem in downtown Persia
He took a sip of his coffee
just a drip, and he said to his servant Kersia
“Ah, curse ya, curse ya, curse ya
That’s the worst cup of coffee in Persia!”

“‘Cause...
All I want is a proper cup of coffee
made from a proper copper coffee pot
I may be off my nut
but I want a proper cup of coffee
from a proper copper pot
Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots
they’re no good to me!
If I can't have a proper cup of coffee
from a proper copper coffee pot
I'll Throw you in the sea

In old Baghdad in old Baghdad, in old Baghdad
Very often I have had cups of coffee by the dozen
And you all should make my coffee just as good
and without my blasted cussing

“Ah, curse ya, curse ya, curse ya
That’s the worst cup of coffee in Persia!”
Oh All I want is a proper cup of coffee
made from a proper copper coffee pot
I may be off my nut
but I want a proper cup of coffee
from a proper copper pot
Brass coffee pots, glass coffee pots
They’re no good to me

If I can't have a proper cup of coffee
>From a proper copper coffee pot
I'll have a cup of tea!”

I’ll have a cup of tea

Could It Be That I'm In Love


Could It Be That I'm In Love
Composer(s): Liam O'Reilly
First performance by: Kim Jackson - 1991



I don't know why I want you
The way that I want you
And I don't know why I miss you
The way that I miss you

But when I'm in your arms
It makes me feel so good
And I don't know the reason why
I don't know the reason why

And I don't understand
Why I feel the way I do
And I don't understand
What I feel when I'm with you
And anyway now, it's no use worrying
Until I find out what it is

Could it be that when I'm with you
My fears all go away?
Could it be that when I'm with you
It's like the start of a brand new day?
Or is it just that when I hold you
I can't hold you enough?
Or could it be that I'm in love?

Somebody once told me:
"You've gotta trust your heart"
(Gotta trust your heart)
And this I have tried to do
Right from the very start
And when I'm close to you
It makes me feel so good
And I don't know the reason why

Could it be that when I'm with you
My fears all go away?
Could it be that when I'm with you
It's like the start of a brand new day?
Or is it just that when I hold you
I can't hold you enough?
Or could it be that I'm in love?

Could it be that I'm in love?
Could it be that I'm in love?

Uptown Girl


Uptown Girl
Performer(s): Leif Garrett



I see you fallin' for that uptown girl

Temptations callin'
it's an uptown girl
No kid from the neighborhood could ever be any good
For an uptown girl
uptown girl
uptown girl
You better face it
she's an uptown girl
Your kiss is wasted on an uptown girl
She'll leave you to wonder why - love is only an easy lie
To an uptown girl
uptown girl
uptown girl

Her style's a cool sophistication

Her smile's a dangerous persuasion
She's fascinating
she's an uptown girl
She'll keep you waiting
she's an uptown girl
You'll never get near enough to ever get serious
With an uptown girl
uptown girl
uptown girl
No chance she means a thing she's saying

Romance is just a game she's playing
you better face it she's an uptown girl ...
Uptown girl

Sometimes I get a good feeling
I get a feeling that I never, never had before
And I got to tell you right now
I believe, I really do believe that

Something's got a hold on me
(Oh, it must be love)
Something's got a hold on me right now child
(Yeah, it must be love)

Let me tell you now
I never felt like this before
Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
I believe I'd die if I only could
I sure feel strange, but I sure feel good

Everything about me seems to have changed
Step by step, I got a brand new walk
I even sound sweeter when I talk
I said, Oh yeah
It must be love
(You know it must be love)

Let me tell you now
My heart feels heavy, my feet feel light
I shake all over, but I feel alright
I never felt like this before
Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
I never thought it could happen to me
My heart was heavy when in misery
I never thought it could be this way
Love's sure gonna put a hurting on me

I said Oh yeah
It must be love
(You know it must be love)
Yeah he walks like love
(Yeah he walks like love)
And he talks like love
(And he talks like love)
Makes me feel alright
(Makes me feel alright)
In the middle of the night
(In the middle of the night)
Na na na na!

Le Dernier Qui A Parlé


Le Dernier Qui A Parlé
First performance by: Amina - 1991



C'est le dernier qui a parlé
Qui a raison dans ta maison
C'est celle qui m'a donné un nom
Qui a raison de toutes façons
Fille ou garçon
Tout ces dictons sont des leçons
Ne dit pas non
Le monde n'est ni mauvais ni bon
Tu tournes pas rond
C'est sans raison

Dis-moi au nom de quelle nation
Tu lèves le ton dans ma maison
Le jeune y parle comme un violon
Sans partitions, c'est une leçon
La vérité se cache au fond
Comme un silence qui en dit long
C'est le plus fort qui a parlé
Qui a raison de toutes façons

C'est le dernier qui a parlé
Qui a raison dans ta maison
C'est le dernier qui a parlé
Qui a raison de toutes façons

Toutes les saisons font et défont
Même les passions
Quelle dérision
C'est le dernier qui a parlé
Qui a raison sans conditions
Comme-ci ou comme ça
Ici ou là-bas

Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil; Gerry Goffin;
Carole King; Phil Spector; Ellie Greenwich; Jeff Barry
Performer(s): Bette Middler; Barry Manilow



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 evening to my tentament
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent
And when he's there with me
He can see that he's everything
The man is 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
And uptown he knows
I'm gonna be standing by
And when I take his hand
There's no man who can put him down, down, down
Oh, the world's so sweet at his feet when he's uptown
Whoa-oo-oh-whoa
When he's uptown
Whoa-oo-whoa-oo-whoa-oh-oh

Don't say nothin' bad about my baby
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby
Don't

Met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo run run run da doo run run
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da doo run run run da doo run run
Whoa, my heart stood still
Yeah, his name was Bill
And when he walked me home
Da doo run run run da doo run run

He knew what he was doin' when he caught my eye
Da doo run run run da doo run run
He looked kind of quiet, but my, oh my
Da doo run run run da doo run run
Oh, he caught my eye
My, my, my, my, oh my
And when he walked me home
Da doo run run run da doo run run

Here we go

Something's Coming


Something's Coming
Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein - Stephen Sondheim
First release by: Larry Kert - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists



A Back Yard - 5:30 p.m.
(Tony has been painting a sign for Doc's drugstore where he now works)
Riff talks him into joining the Jets at the dance but Tony's mind is already on other things)

Tony:
Could be!
Who knows?
There's something due any day
I will know, right away
Soon as it shows
It may come connanballing down
Through the sky
Gleam in its eye, bright as rose
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there's a miracle due
Gonna come true, comin' to me...
Could it be, yes, it could
Something's comin', something good
If I can wait!
Something's comin'
I don't know what it is
But it is gonna be great!
With a click, with a shock
Phone'll jingle, door will knock
Open the latch!
Something's comin'
Don't know when
But it's soon
Catch the moon
One-handed catch!
Around the corner
Or whistlin' down the river
Come on, deliver to me!
Will it be?
Yes, it will!
Maybe just by holding still
It'll be there!
Come on, something
Come on in
Don't be shy
Meet a guy
Pull up a chair!
The air is humming
And something great is coming!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Maybe tonight...
Maybe tonight...
Maybe tonight...!

Urban Guerilla


Urban Guerilla
Composer(s): Dave Brock; Robert Calvert
Performer(s): Hawkwind; Cobra Verde



I'm an urban guerilla
I make bombs in my cellar
I'm a derelict dweller
I'm a potential killer
I'm a street fighting dancer
I'm a revolutionary romancer
I'm society's cancer
I'm a two-tone panther
So let's not talk of love and flowers
And things that don't explode
We've used up all of our magic powers
Trying to do it in the road

I'm a political bandit
And you don't understand it
You took my dream and canned it
It is not the way I planned it
I'm society's destructor
I'm a petrol bomb constructor
I'm a cosmic light conductor
I'm the people's debt collector
So watch out Mr. Business Man
Your empire's about to blow
I think you'd better listen, man
In case you did not know

Fångad Av En Stormvind


Fångad Av En Stormvind
Composer(s): Stephan Berg
First performance by: Carola - 1991



Uh-huh yeah
Woh-ho-ho-oh

Jag har aldrig slutat tro
Att efter varje natt väntar gryningen
Fast jag inte kan förstå
Så finns det tid för skratt när jag börjar om igen

Känner doften från en stilla ocean
Plötsligt står jag i en levande orkan

Jag är fångad av en stormvind
Fast för dig
Ingenting kan hindra mig
När det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind
Natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag
Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar

Det är dags att ge sig av
För stunder som har flytt kommer aldrig mer
Reser ut på öppet hav
Där allting blir som nytt
I den framtid som du ger

Utan saknad lämnar jag min trygga hamn
Fri men ändå bunden till en öppen famn

Jag är fångad av en stormvind
Fast för dig
Ingenting kan hindra mig
När det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind
Natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag
Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar

Vi går tillsammans
Förenad av kärlekens band
Min längtan vaknar
När du ler och räcker mig din hand

Jag är fångad av en stormvind
Fångad av en stormvind
(Fast för dig)
Ingenting kan hindra mig
När det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind
Natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag
Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar

(Fångad av en stormvind)
Jag är fångad av en stormvind

Studio auf seiner Reis'
Juchheidi, juchheida
Ganz famos zu leben weiß
Juchheidi, heida!
Immerfort durch Dick und Dünn
Schlendert er durch's Dasein hin
Juchheidi, heidi
Heida, juchheidi, heida!

Hat der Studio auch kein Geld
Juchheidi, juchheida
Ist er drum nicht schlecht bestellt
Juchheidi, heida!
Manches feiste Pfäffelein
Ladet ihn zum Frühstück ein
Juchheidi, heidi, heida
Juchheidi, heida!

Kehren wir in's Wirtshaus ein
Juchheidi, juchheida
Trinken wir stets Bier und Wein
Juchheidi, heida!
Alle Mädel für uns glühn
Denn wir tragen schwartz-gold-grün
Juchheidi, heidi, heida
Juchheidi, heida!

Bayrisch Bier und Leberwurst
Juchheidi, juchheidaUnd ein Kind mit runder Brust
Juchheidi, heida!
Und ein Glas Krambambuli
Donnerwetter Paraplui!
Juchheidi, heidi, heida
Juchheidi, heida!

Und so geht es lustig fort
Juchheidi, juchheida
Lustig hier und lustig dort
Juchheidi, juchheida!
Manches Mädel sieht uns nach
Seufzt dabei ein stilles "Ach!"
Juchheidi, heidi, heida
Juchheidi, heida!

Something's Burning
Composer(s): Mac Davis
First release by: Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



You lie in gentle sleep beside me
I hear your warm and rhythmic breathing
I take your hand and hold it tightly
Listen - can you not hear our young hearts gently beating
I kiss the sleep from your eyes
Your smile is sweeter than the morning, and here it comes

Can't you feel it baby
Can't you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, feel it
Fire, fire

Somethin's burnin'
Somethin's burnin'
Somethin's burnin'
And I think it's love

And now the sun is burning brightly
We lie in love so close together
I get the feeling deep inside me
My love for you will burn forever
I cup my hands to touch your face
And once again I feel your fire, and here it comes

Can't you feel it baby
Can't you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, feel it
Fire, fire

Somethin's burnin'
Somethin's burnin'
Somethin's burnin'
And I think it's love

And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love ...

Urgent D'Attendre


Urgent D'Attendre
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall



Regarde-moi quand tu danses
C'est bien mieux que parler trop
Regarde-moi si tu penses
Que ça peut te tenir chaud
Devant les coups de semonce
De ce monde déchiré
J'ai besoin d'une réponse
Quelque chose à commencer

Mais c'est urgent d'attendre
Que tout change
Urgent d'attendre
Qu'on comprenne
Urgent d'attendre
Que l'amour vienne
Comme le sang coule dans nos veines

Dis-moi si tu comprends tout
Des orages aux désespoirs
Des éclairs qui nous secouent
Et des foudres du hasard
Devant tout ce qui s'annonce
Sur ces rythmes saccadés
J'ai besoin d'une réponse
Quelque chose à essayer

Mais c'est urgent d'attendre
Que tout change
Urgent d'attendre
Qu'on comprenne
Urgent d'attendre
Que l'amour vienne
Comme le sang coule dans nos veines

Ou ou ou ou ou ou ou
Ou ou ou ou ou ou ou
Ou ou ou ou ou ou ou
C'est urgent d'attendre
C'est urgent d'attendre
Urgent d'attendre
Urgent d'attendre
Urgent d'attendre

Un Baiser Volé


Un Baiser Volé
Composer(s): Mick Wersant - Linda Lecomte - Patrick Hippert
First performance by: Sarah Bray - 1991



Comment peut-on unir les horizons?
Libres sont ceux ignorant la peine
La peur rend fou, appelle la haine
Le mal grandit dans nos esprits

Et pourtant l'amour est le sens de notre vie
Un baiser volé dans ce monde blessé peut nous apporter l'espérance

Saturé d'images, le monde se méfie
Les chemins du cœur ont des frontières
Une vie perdue, un arbre abattu, joignent mes larmes aux rivières

Et pourtant l'amour est le sens de notre vie
Un baiser volé dans ce monde blessé peut nous apporter l'espérance

Par nos yeux éblouis se remplissent nos mémoires
Le bonheur libère nos émotions (comme un baiser volé)
Comme un baiser volé (Comme un baiser volé)

Et pourtant l'amour est le sens de notre vie
Une histoire inventée, et l'espoir retrouvé
Créer un univers sans souffrance

Urubus


Urubus
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Urubus, vous n'avez pas de cri
Cri de chasse, cri d'amour, cri de peur
Urubus, vous attendez qu'on meure
Mort de faim, mort d'amour, mort de peur

Cercles noirs cisaillants le ciel vide
Sans espoirs, attentifs et avides
Sans beauté, sans couleur et sans race
Obstinés, nettoyeurs et voraces
Anonymes citoyens solitaires
Charognards, utiles, élémentaires
Voyageur si tu plies, si tu tombes
Méfie-toi de l^Òombre de ton ombre

Urubus, vous n'avez pas de cri
Cri de chasse, cri d'amour, cri de peur
Urubus, vous attendez qu'on meure
Mort de faim, mort d'amour, mort de peur

C'est ta vie qui ne tient qu'à un fil
Si tendu, si ténu, si fragile
Angle droit du désert du Sertão
Si stérile, si perdu, si brûlant
Le soleil, mangeur d'hommes et de fous
Immobile, efficace et tout roux
Trace encore quelques barreaux obliques
Entre toi et ta mort symétrique

Urubus, vous n'avez pas de cri
Cri de chasse, cri d'amour, cri de peur
Urubus, vous attendez qu'on meure
Mort de faim, mort d'amour, mort de peur

Le silence est un cri qu'on étouffe
Et la peur du sable dans ta bouche
La lumière un fusil dans les reins
La fatigue un foyer qu'on éteint
Tous tes pas dans la poussière qui danse
Sont comptés par le temps qui avance
Tu oublies et tu crois qu'il s'endort
Il te suivra jusqu'à Salvador

Tournez, Urubus
Quand la lumière des villes s'obscurcit vers le néon fragile!
Planez, Urubus
Au-dessus des soumis comme une ombre portée sur la vie!
Vivez, Urubus
Cachés dans vos buildings sans un cri, penchés sur vos plannings!
Vivez, Urubus
Glissez vos doigts d'acier dans nos démocraties avancées!
Tournez, Urubus
Donnez-nous un peu d'air et on vous laisse le phosphate et le fer!
Tournez, Urubus
Qui contrôlez le temps, mines d'or, de platine, de diamants!
Tuez, Urubus
Tout ce qui vous résiste, ce qui vit, qui respire, qui existe!
Fouillez, Urubus
Au fond de leurs entrailles, becs crochus, longs couteaux et tenailles!
Cherchez, Urubus
Ce qui nous fait marcher, ce qui nous fait rêver, nous aimer!
Planez, Urubus
Au-dessus du linceul que déchire le poing d'un homme seul!

Crevez, Urubus
Tombez comme des pierres sur la terre, le goudron en enfer!
Personne Urubus
Ne viendra vous becqueter
Même pas les fourmis rouges affamées

Urubus
Les aigles sont déchus
Innombrables vous gardez les issues!
