Sonic Attack


Sonic Attack
Composer(s): Harvey Bainbridge - Dave Brock - Huw Lloyd-Langton - Michael Moorcock
Performer(s): Hawkwind



In case of Sonic Attack on your district, follow these rules.....
If you are making love, it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously
Do not waste time blocking your ears
Do not waste time seeking a soundproof shelter
Try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible, but do not panic.....
Use your wheels, it is what they are for
Small babies may be placed inside the special cocoons, which should be left if possible, in a shelter
Do not attempt to use your own limbs
If no wheels are available, metal, not organic, limbs should be employed whenever practical.....
Remember, in the case of Sonic Attack
Survival does mean every man for himself
Statistically more people survive
if they think only of themselves

Do not attempt to rescue friends, relatives, or loved ones
You have only a few seconds to escape
Use those seconds sensibly or you will inevitably die
Do not panic
Think only of yourselves....

These are the first signs of Sonic Attack
You will notice small objects, such as ornaments, oscillating
You will notice a vibration in your diaphragm
You will hear a distant hissing in your ears
You will feel dizzy
You will feel the need to vomit
There will be bleeding from orifices
There will be an ache in the pelvic region
You may be subject to fits of hysterical shouting, or even laughter
These are all sign of imminent Sonic destruction
Your only real protection is flight
If you are less than ten years old, then remain in your shelter and use your cocoon
But remember: You can help no-one else
No-one else
No-one else......

(What Did I Do To Be So) Black And Blue

(What Did I Do To Be So) Black And Blue
Composer(s): Thomas "Fats" Waller;
Harry Brooks; Andy Razaf
Performer(s: Louis Armstrong & His Orch.;
and various other artists



Out in the street, shufflin' feet
Couples passin' two by two
While here am I, left high and dry
Black, and 'cause I'm black I'm blue

Browns and yellers, all have fellers
Gentlemen prefer them light
Wish I could fade, can't make the grade
Nothing but dark days in sight

Cold, empty bed, springs hard as lead
Pains in my head, feel like old Ned
What did I do to be so black and blue?

No joys for me, no company
Even the mouse ran from my house
All my life through I've been so black and blue

I'm white inside, it don't help my case
'Cause I can't hide, what is on my face, oh!

I'm so forlorn, life's just a thorn
My heart is torn, why was I born?
What did I do to be so black and blue?

'Cause you're black, folks think you lack
They laugh at you, and scorn you too
What did I do to be so black and blue?

When you are near, they laugh and sneer
Set you aside and you're denied
What did I do to be so black and blue?

How sad I am, each day I feel worse
My mark of Ham seems to be a curse, oh

How will it end? ain't got a friend
My only sin is my skin
What did I do to be so black and blue?

Fra Mols Til Skagen


Fra Mols Til Skagen
First performance by: Aud Wilken - 1995



La' mig vide hvornår
Alle togene går
For jeg vil vågne hos dig
Nu har sneen låst mig

Kun en vinter herfra
Kold og frysende klar
Send mig dine tanker
For mit hjerte banker

Fra Mols til Skagen, fra Mols til Skagen
Fra Mols til Skagen, jeg savner dig
Og dine silkelagner
Og morgenmad på blå altaner
Der findes ingen vilde svaner
Så længe sneen daler

Du var det hele for mig
Nu' jeg stille og bleg
Du er solens kejser
Mine drømme rejser

Fra Mols til Skagen, fra Mols til Skagen
Fra Mols til Skagen, jeg savner dig
Og dine silkelagner
Og morgenmad på blå altaner
Der findes ingen vilde svaner
Så længe sneen daler

Silkelagner
Og morgenmad på blå altaner
Der findes ingen vilde svaner
Så længe sneen daler

Silkelagner
(Fra Mols til Skagen)
Og morgenmad på blå altaner
(Fra Mols til Skagen)
Der findes ingen vilde svaner
Så længe sneen daler

(What A) Wonderful World

(What A) Wonderful World
Composer(s): Lou Adler;
Morris Albert; Sam Cooke
Performer(s): Herman's Hermits;
Simon & Garfunkel (with James Taylor)



What a wonderful
wonderful world this would be

What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about science books
Don't know much about the french I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you loved me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

Now I don't claim to be an A student
But I'm tryin' to be
Oh maybe by being an A student, baby
I can win your love for me

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about science books
Don't know much about the french I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you loved me too
What a wonderful world this would be

------ lead guitar ------

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you loved me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Sonho Impossível


Sonho Impossível
(Adapted from: The Impossible Dream - 1965/1966)
(French Version: La Quête - 1969)
Composer(s): Joe Darion - Mitch Leigh - Chico Buarque - Ruy Guerra
Performer(s): Maria Bethânia - 1974



Sonhar
Mais um sonho impossível
Lutar
Quando é fácil ceder
Vencer o inimigo invencível
Negar quando a regra é vender
Sofrer a torutura implacável
Romper a incabível prisão
Voar num limite improvável
Tocar o inacessível chão
É minha lei, é minha questão
Virar esse mundo
Cravar esse chão
Não me importa saber
Se é terrível demais
Quantas guerras terei que vencer
Por um pouco de paz
E amanhã, se esse chão que eu beijei
For meul eito e perdão
Vou saber que valeu delirar
E morrer de paixão
E assim, seja lá como for
Vai ter fim a infinita aflição
E o mundo vai ver uma flor
Brotar do impossível chão

(We're Having A) Heat Wave


(We're Having A) Heat Wave
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe



Oh! We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave
The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising
She certainly can can-can

She started a heat wave by letting her seat wave
In such a way that the customers say
That she certainly can can-can

Gee, gee! Her anatomy makes the mercury rise to 93!
Having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave, the way that she moves
That thermometer proves that she certainly can.....
(What's your name honey? Pablo) Certainly can....
(Chico, Miguelito, Pablo, Chico, Miguelito).....oh, can-can

Pablo, it's saying here in the weather report
It's saying a fairly warm air is moving in from..
(Where?) Jamaica
Moderately high air pressure will cover the NE and..
(Where else?) The Deep South
Small danger of (what?) Fruit frost!
Hot and humid nights can be expected
Vincent 95, Guadeloupe 97, Santo Domingo 99
Pardon me? 105?

We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave
The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising
I certainly can can-can
I started this heat wave in such a way
That the customers say that I certainly can can-can
The man who need makes the mercury rise to 93
We're having a heat wave, a tropical, a tropical heat wave
The way that I move, that thermometer grooves
(She certainly, certainly, certainly can}
I certainly, certainly, certainly can can-can

The Impossible Dream


The Impossible Dream
From the Musical "Man Of La Mancha" (1965)
Composer(s): Joe Darion - Mitch Leigh
First performance/First release by: Richard Kiley - 1965/1966
Covered by multiple other artists

Titles In Other Languages:
1969 - La Quête
1974 - Sonho Impossível



To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right, without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell for a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star!

(We'll Stroll Through The Park) Just As We Used To Do

(We'll Stroll Through The Park) Just As We Used To Do
Composer(s): Lew Brown;
Ed Moran; Roy Ingraham



Mabel used to worry, Mabel used to pout
She said "Oh! will my darling Jack be the same when he gets back"
Mabel got a cable, now Mabel doesn't doubt
It read "My dear, I'm leaving here, my program's all mapped out"

Mabel swept the parlor, brought it up to date
she fixed the sofa where it would be in a place where none could see
Mabel now is nervous for she can hardly wait
She wrote to Jack
Said "Hurry back I think your plans are great"

We'll stroll through the park just as we used to do
We'll go for a lark just as we used to do
We'll sit in the parlor and turn the lights down
Low right on my knee is where you'll be and oh! oh! oh!
We'll hug and squeeze just as we used to do
We'll kiss and tease, just as we used to do
Your dad will yell, "turn up that light"
And what else can we do
We'll have to kiss and say "good night" just as we used to do

La Quête


La Quête
(Adapted from: The Impossible Dream - 1965/1966)
(Portuguese Version: Sonho Impossível - 1974)
Composer(s): Joe Darion - Mitch Leigh - Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel - 1969
and multiple other artists



Rêver un impossible rêve
Porter le chagrin des départs
Brûler d'une possible fièvre
Partir où personne ne part
Aimer jusqu'à la déchirure
Aimer, même trop, même mal
Tenter, sans force et sans armure
D'atteindre l'inaccessible étoile
Telle est ma quête
Suivre l'étoile
Peu m'importent mes chances
Peu m'importe le temps
Ou ma désespérance
Et puis lutter toujours
Sans questions ni repos
Se damner
Pour l'or d'un mot d'amour
Je ne sais si je serai ce héros
Mais mon cœur serait tranquille
Et les villes s'éclabousseraient de bleu
Parce qu'un malheureux
Brûle encore, bien qu'ayant tout brûlé
Brûle encore, même trop, même mal
Pour atteindre à s'en écarteler
Pour atteindre l'inaccessible étoile

Se På Mej


Se På Mej
Composer(s): Håkan Almqvist - Ingela "Pling" Forsman - Bobby Ljunggren
First performance by: Jan Johansen - 1995



När din väg är lång, du är trött
men du måste ändå gå
Och när skuggorna börjar växa och få liv
och när natten skrämmer så
är jag bredvid dig och jag följer varje steg du tar
Hos dig stannar jag kvar

Se på mig, åhoj en hamn i stormen
som en våg som föds att bära dig
Se på mig, åhoj i ljus och mörker
är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig

När du står en dag
vid ett vägskäl i ditt liv
som ett vilset litet barn
är jag bredvid dig och jag följer varje steg du tar
och hos dig stannar jag kvar

Se på mig, åhoj en hamn i stormen
som en våg som föds att bära dig
Se på mig, åhoj i ljus och mörker
är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig
Jag går med dig vart du går
och aldrig lämnar jag dig

Så se på mig, åhoj en hamn i stormen
som en våg som föds att älska dig
Se på mig, åhoj när ljuset blir till mörker i ditt liv
är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig
Jag älskar dig så

Put Your Dreams Away


Put Your Dreams Away
Composer(s): Frederick Loewe; Paul Mann; George David Weiss
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



Put your dreams away for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start

When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you

Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away

When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you

Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away

Sonho De Um Carnaval


Sonho De Um Carnaval
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and multiple other artists



Carnaval, desengano
Deixei a dor em casa me esperando
E brinquei e gritei e fui vestido de rei
Quarta-feira sempre desce o pano

Carnaval, desengano
Essa morena me deixou sonhando
Mão na mão, pé no chão
E hoje nem lembra não
Quarta-feira sempre desce o pano

Era uma canção, um só cordão
E uma vontade
De tomar a mão
De cada irmão pela cidade

No carnaval, esperança
Que gente longe viva na lembrança
Que gente triste possa entrar na dança
Que gente grande saiba ser criança

Got to rockin' with the rhythm, run 'em over at the hill

Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey


Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey
Composer(s): Junie McCree; Albert Von Tilzer
Performer(s): Dick Haymes;
and various other artists



Night time am a-fallin', everything is still
And the moon am a shinin' from above
Cupid am a callin' every Jack and Jill
It's just about the time for making love
Someone is a-waiting all along for me
No more hesitating, I must go and see
"How dee do, Dear, it's with you dear
That I love to be"

Put your arms around me, Honey, hold me tight
Huddle up and cuddle up with all your might
Oh! Oh! Won't you roll those eyes?
Eyes that I just idolize
When they look at me, my heart begins to float
Then it starts a rockin' like a motor boat
Oh! Oh! I never knew any girl like you

Music am a-playin' such a "Loving Glide"
That my feet keep a moving to and fro
And with you a-swayin', I'll be satisfied
To dance until we hear the roosters crow
I love seven 'leven, I love chicken too
Nearest thing to heaven is to be with you
For I'm spoony, moony, loony, but my love is true

Put Your Arms Around Me Honey, hold me tight
Huddle up and cuddle up with all your might
Oh! Oh! Won´t you roll those eyes
Eyes that I just idolize
When they look at me, my heart begins to float
Then it starts a rockin´ like a motorboat
Oh! Oh! I never knew any girl like you

Put your arms around her
That's where your love is
Don't let my broken heart stand in the way

Put your arms around her

But you slipped through my arms
So if that's the way it has to be

Put your arms around her
That's where your dreams are
And if you're happy then that's good enough for me

I've tried so hard to hold you

Baunilha E Chocolate


Baunilha E Chocolate
First performance by: Tó Cruz - 1995



Que povo é este, teu e meu
Onde passou deitou raíz?
Mudou o mar, mudou o céu
Onde não era amanhecer
Fez do mundo o seu país

E o teu avô andou por lá
A minha avó pôs cá o pé
Nosso amor é todo mar
Tens perfume de luar
Tenho gosto de café

Amada de branca pele
És nata no meu chamá
Tem mais paladar que o mel
Casar baunilha com chocolate

Gaivota branca foi achar
Naquelas terras mais a sul
Gente e doce e musical
Que em seu canto tropical
Pôs o sonho e o mar azul

Quem temperou o nosso amor
Feito à guitarra e violão
No vai-vem da caravela
Com pimenta e com canela
Com jindo e açafrão

Amada de branca pele
És nata no meu chamá
Tem mais paladar que o mel
Casar baunilha com chocolate

Que povo é este que partiu
E foi dobrar o Bojador?
Este povo que sentiu o feitiço, o desafio
De inventar um novo amor

Das mãos unidas nasce a flor
E cada beijo sabe a paz
Quando a alma sente o amor
Tenha o corpo qualquer cor
Preto ou branco tanto faz

Quando a alma sente o amor
Tenha o corpo qualquer cor
Preto ou branco tanto faz

Put The Blame On Me


Put The Blame On Me
Composer(s): Norman Blagman; Kay Twomey; Fred Wise
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
and various other artists



If they say we were doin' wrong
If they say we were out too long
Well, you can say
My arms were just too strong
Put the blame, put the blame on me

Felt so good when I held you tight
Couldn't stop when we kissed goodnight
So if they tell us we don't heave the right
Put the blame, put the blame on me

What I feel is deep inside
This is real and I won't hide
Go ahead, use my name
I'll be proud to take the blame

You just did what I made you do
You love me and I love you
So if the way they talk can bother you
Put the blame, put the blame on me
