Astral Weeks


Astral Weeks
Composer(s): Van Morrison
First release by: Van Morrison - 1968



If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dream
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
From the far side of the ocean
If I put the wheels in motion
And I stand with my arms behind me
And I'm pushin' on the door
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
There you go
Standin' with the look of avarice
Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter
Showin' pictures on the wall
Whisperin' in the hall
And pointin' a finger at me
There you go, there you go
Standin' in the sun darlin'
With your arms behind you
And your eyes before
There you go
Takin' good care of your boy
Seein' that he's got clean clothes
Puttin' on his little red shoes
I see you know he's got clean clothes
A-puttin' on his little red shoes
A-pointin' a finger at me
And here I am
Standing in your sad arrest
Trying to do my very best
Lookin' straight at you
Comin' through, darlin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dreams
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me
Would you kiss-a my eyes
Lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
To be born again
In another world
In another world
In another time
Got a home on high
Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world
I'm nothing but a stranger in this world
I got a home on high
In another land
So far away
So far away
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
We are goin' up to heaven
We are goin' to heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
In another face

Doctor My Eyes


Doctor My Eyes Composer(s): Jackson Browne First release by: Jackson Browne - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists



Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long

'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me

Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry

Astral Nightmare


Astral Nightmare
Performer(s): Dave Davies



Close my eyes, leave my body
flying high across the universe
I come down, strange scenes evolving
can this be

I am free
unknown syllables, magic carpet ride
technicolor landscape where nobody cries
then I look around, wondering who am I
where is this place, another nightmare
no longer in a dream
nowhere is reality

I look around, somebody calls me
far away, don't just follow me
if I die no time will die
no one sees you

lost in space
unknown syllables, magic carpet ride
technicolor landscapes where nobody cries
in my dream wandering you and I
where is this place another nightmare
no longer in a dream

nowhere is reality, nightmare
nowhere is reality, nightmare

There She Is

How Do You Describe
A Girl So Fair?

Angel... Lover... I Discover
There Are No Words To Describe Her

Easier By Far, Say I
To Steal The Sky
From The Songbirds
Than To Find The Words That Seem Right

Rare Are The Words......
Where Are The Words?
Where Are The Words That Describe Her?

Asteroid


Asteroid
Composer(s): Jaz Coleman - Andrew Gill - K. Walker - Youth
Performer(s): Killing Joke



And the 3rd Angel sounded
And a star fell from heaven
Burning as it were a lamp
And it fell upon the 3rd part of the waters

Asteroid

I’m a ball of fire
Fire from heaven
Terror from nowhere
You’ll never shoot me down
Days turns to minutes
5 seconds till it hits us
3 seconds to ground
1 second to …

Asteroid
Coming in from the void

On the bed of the ocean
Where history lies
Strange civilisations
Vapourised
Days turns to minutes
5 seconds till it hits us
3 seconds to ground
1 second to …

Asteroid

I.N.R.I
Nature renewed by fire made whole

And I climb to the mountain
Light to dark
Behind time and space
A hole in your Ark
Days turns to minutes
5 seconds till it hits us
3 seconds to ground
1 second to …

Asteroid

Astérix Est Là!


Astérix Est Là!
Performer(s): Plastic Bertrand



Astérix est là!
Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre
Astérix est là!
Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César

Avé César, t'auras pas d'oscar
T'as l'air romantique mais ta Rome est en toc
Arrête ton cirque, c'est pas toi qu'on croque
Pauvre légionnaire, tu rames c'est la galère

Et pendant qu'à Rome, ils l'ont dans le baba
Il n'y a qu'un homme, un gaulois
Pour crier "Go home!" aux romains délicats
Qui tombent dans les pommes, faut voir ça

Astérix est là!
Et il se bat comme un gaulois
Astérix est là!
Et pour César c'est pas la joie

Astérix est là!
Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre
Astérix est là!
Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César

Avé César, tu cherches la bagarre
T'as qu'une idée fixe mais t'oublie Obélix
Arrière Satan! Ancien combattant
En sandales, en plum, t'as le look qui dégomme

Et pendant qu'ils jouent aux cowboys, aux indiens
Ils en prennent des coups, ces Romains
C'est fou c'qu'ils sont fous ces playboys italiens
Ils en perdent tout leur latin

Astérix est là!
Il fait la loi et des dégâts
Astérix est là!
Et il vaincra de son combat

Astérix est là!
Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre
Astérix est là!
Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César

Avé César, Julius superstar
Tu fumes des Gauloises
Mais un conseil: écrase!
Arrête ton char, joue pas les ringards
Un Romain ça va, trois bonjour les dégâts!

Et pendant qu'à Rome, ils l'ont dans le baba
Il n'y a qu'un homme, un gaulois
Pour crier "Go home!" aux romains délicats
Qui tombent dans les pommes, faut voir ça

Astérix est là!
Et il se bat comme un gaulois
Astérix est là!
Et pour César c'est pas la joie

Astérix est là!
Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre
Astérix est là!
Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César

Astérix est là!
Ça va faire mal, ça va cogner la bagarre
Astérix est là!
Seul contre les Dieux, contre l'odieux César

When I Look In Your Eyes


When I Look In Your Eyes
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse



Dolittle:
When I look in your eyes
I see the wisdom of the world
In your eyes
I see the sadness
Of a thousand goodbyes
When I look in your eyes

And it is no surprise
To see the softness of the moon
In your eyes
The gentle sparkle of the stars
In the skies
When I look in your eyes

In your eyes
I see the deepness of the sea
I see the deepness of the love
The love I feel you feel for me

Autumn comes, summer dies
I see the passing of the years
In your eyes
And when we part
There'll be no tears
No goodbyes
I'll just look into your eyes

Those eyes, so wise, so warm, so real......
How I love the world your eyes reveal...
Isn't it a pity you're a seal?

Du Gehörst Zu Mir


Du Gehörst Zu Mir
Performer(s): Christian Anders



Du gehoerst zu mir
Die Ander'n werden sagen: "Laß' ihn geh'n!"
Ich weiß mehr von Dir
als alle, die Dich glauben zu versteh'n
Du gehoerst zu mir
Der Tag, der uns trennt, liegt noch weit
Ich werd', ich werd' bei Dir bleiben
Und die Liebe, die verliert keine Zeit

Du gehoerst zu mir
Vergessen kann man alles und verzeih'n
Traeume aus Papier sind Briefe
Darum muß ich bei Dir sein
Du gehoerst zu mir
Mit Dir teil' ich gern alles Leid
Ich werd', ich werd' bei Dir bleiben
Und die Liebe, die verliert keine Zeit

Ist das so schwer, so schwer zu versteh'n?
Kannst Du das Glueck denn nicht seh'n
ahaha, das so schoen waer', nicht seh'n?

Du gehoerst zu mir
Die Ander'n werden sagen: "Laß' ihn geh'n!"
Ich weiß viel mehr von Dir
als alle, die Dich glauben zu versteh'n
Du gehoerst zu mir
Der Tag, der uns trennt, liegt noch weit
Ich werd', ich werd' bei Dir bleiben
Und die Liebe, die verliert keine Zeit

You're Impossible


You're Impossible
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse



Emma:
'Cos if I were his nephew
Instead of his niece
I promise I'd give you
Much more than a piece
Of my mind!

Dolittle:
How unkind!

Emma:
The way you treat people...

Dolittle:
I don't - I treat animals!

Emma:
You treat people like animals!
It's most unrefined!

Dolittle:
The blind leading the blind!

Polynesia:
I know!

Emma:
If I had to pick the worst person I've met
I'd say you are!.....yes, you are!

Dolittle:
If you'll pardon me, madam
Mistaken again!
Because you are!

Emma:
Oh no, you are!

Dolittle:
Why don't we just say
That we two are......
Incompatible, that is!

Emma:
Incompatible!?

Polynesia:
Yes, incompatible!

Polynesia:
Hah!

Emma:
Hah!

Emma:
You're impossible!...
Impossible!...
Impossible!...

Dolittle:
When will you outgrow
All this rage you show?
That you think I'm so...

Both:
Impossible to tolerate!

Dolittle:
You're impossible!...
Impossible!...
Impossible!...

Emma:
It is hard to see
Why you choose to be
Quite so vile to me!

Both:
Impossible to contemplate!

Emma:
Who are you to judge?
You don't know me, sir!
But I sense a grudge
In your every slur!

Dolittle:
No, I bear no grudge!
That's a dream you dreamt!
All I bear for you's
Complete contempt!

Polynesia:
Contempt!

Emma:
Oh, you're impossible!...
Impossible!...
Impossible!...

Dolittle:
And that well may grow!
For deep down I know
Folk like you are so...

Both:
Impossible to educate!

Emma:
There's a thousand miles between us!

Dolittle:
Which will always be uncrossable!

Emma:
You're impossible!

Dolittle:
No, you're impossible!

Both:
Oh, you're impossible!

Emma:
You're despicable!...
Despicable!...
Despicable!...

Dolittle:
There you go again!-
Like some clucking hen!
Clearly, you hate men!

Both:
Your attitude is terrible!

Dolittle:
Inexplicable!...
Despicable!...
Despicable!...

Emma:
I won't be dismissed
Like I don't exist!
You... misogynist!

Both:
You really are unbearable!

Emma:
Mmen like you are bores!
Self-indulgent fools!
Dull as dinosaurs!
Full of pompous rules!

Dolittle:
And I must despise
Women such as you!
Who just criticise!
What you...can't do!

Emma:
Oh, that's just terrible!...
You're terrible!...
Unbearable!...

Dolittle:
So it's clear to me
You were born to be
A catastrophe!...

Both:
Completely unrepairable!

Emma:
And that gaping void between us
Will forever be uncrossable!

Dolittle:
You are arrogant and bossy!
And I choose to be unbossable!

Emma:
We're a classical example...

Dolittle:
Of the art of what's not possible!

Emma:
You're impossible!

Dolittle:
No, you're impossible!

Both:
Impossible!

Matthew:
You know somethin'?
You're both impossible!

Assis Sur Le Rebord Du Monde


Assis Sur Le Rebord Du Monde
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Si j'ai bien toute ma mémoire
Disait Dieu dans un coin du ciel
J'avais commencé une histoire
Sur une planète nouvelle, toute bleue
Bleue, pour pas qu'on la confonde
Je vais aller m'asseoir sur le rebord du monde
Voir ce que les hommes en ont fait
J'y avais mis des gens de passage
Et j'avais mélangé les couleurs
Je leur avais appris le partage
Ils avaient répété par cœur
"Toujours" ! tous toujours dans la même ronde
Je vais aller m'asseoir sur le rebord du monde
Voir ce que les hommes en ont fait
Je me souviens d'avoir dit aux hommes
Pour chaque fille une colline de fleurs
Et puis j'ai planté des arbres à pommes
Où tout le monde a mordu de bon cœur
Et partout, partout des rivières profondes
Je vais aller m'asseoir sur le rebord du monde
Voir ce que les hommes en ont fait
Soudain toute la ville s'arrête
Il paraît que les fleuves ont grossi
Les enfants s'approchent, s'inquiètent
Et demandent "pourquoi tous ces bruits?"
Sans doute, Dieu et sa barbe blonde
Dieu qui s'est assis sur le rebord du monde
Et qui pleure de le voir tel qu'il est!
Dieu qui s'est assis sur le rebord du monde
Et qui pleure de le voir tel qu'il est

Doctor Dolittle


Doctor Dolittle Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse



Matthew: This is the world of Doctor Dolittle The wonderful world of Doctor Dolittle Where crocodiles talk And elephants sing And animals do most any old thing Where polar bears wear top hats And leopards with spots wear spats Well, that's life in the world of Doctor Dolittle Doves start to coo when they see Dolittle He has a profound philosophy If animals can be friends, says he Well then, why can't we? Say "how-d'you-do" to Doctor Dolittle Life is a zoo to Doctor Dolittle Where antilopes lope And ostriches fan And kangaroos do that kangaroos can To make the hyenas laugh As long as a long giraffe Matthew & Tommy: Every calf starts to moo when they see Dolittle Even the few who used to moo little For all of the birds and beasts agree He has a profound philosophy And so why can't we? Yes, all of the birds and beasts agree He has a proud philosophy And so why can't we... Matthew: "Do little" things to help them Both: Why can't we? Matthew: G'night, Tom sweet dreams! Tommy & The Animals: This is the world of Doctor Dolittle A rare world that people get to view little Where penguins parade in black cravats An' sabre-toothed tigers purr like cats At yaks that relax an' doze While hippos play dominoes... Roosters crow from the moment they see Dolittle They used to... -a-doodle-doo little! The answer is not too hard to see If he can bring so much harmony Well then, why can't we "Do little" things to help him? Why... can't... we?

I need you - to hold me close again
For I knew I won't be happy until then
I need you - you're all I'm living for
Ev'ry day that slips away I need you more
Oh my love - please listen to my pray'r
Tell me whore and tell me when and I'll be there

No all the letters in the world
can't replace my little girl
I need you - my love I need you so

We're all running fast tonight
Rocket shoes on our feet
There's a planet where it's right
I'm sure we'll get there by next week

I could've been a doctor
I could've been a lawyer
I could've been a scientist
I could've been normal
Especially in the daylight

You say don't worry while in flight
The darkness is like a fog
I won't get scared
I won't get tired
I've been in space so damn long

The Earth is just a big blue dot
I can't see the cars and planes
There's a planet where it's right
I'm sure we'll get there by next week

Ganz in Weiß mit einem Blumenstrauß
so siehst du in meinen schönsten Träumen aus

Ja dann reichst du mir die Hand
und du siehst so glücklich aus
ganz in Weiß mit einem Blumenstrauß

Ja dann reichst du mir die Hand

Hello Docteur Jekyll
Non je n'suis pas le Docteur Jekyll
Hello Docteur Jekyll
Mon nom est Hyde, Mister Hyde
Docteur Jekyll il avait en lui
Un Monsieur Hyde qui était son mauvais génie
Mister Hyde n'disait rien
Mais en secret n'en pensait pas moins

Hello Docteur Jekyll
Je vous dis que je ne suis pas le docteur Jekyll
Hello Docteur Jekyll
Mon nom est Hyde, Mister Hyde
Docteur Jekyll n'a eu dans sa vie
Que de petites garc's qui se foutaient de lui
Mister Hyde dans son cœur
Prenait des notes pour le docteur

Hello Docteur Jekyll
Il n'y a plus de Docteur Jekyll
Hello Docteur Jekyll
Mon nom est Hyde, Mister Hyde
Docteur Jekyll un jour a compris
Que c'est ce Monsieur Hyde qu'on aimait en lui
Mister Hyde ce salaud
A fait la peau du Docteur Jekyll

Docteur


Docteur Composer(s): J.P. Bucolo - Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Hey Docteur, j'ai déjà pas mal
De tours au compteur
Pas mal d'années derrière
J'aimerais faire moins que mon âge
Est-ce que tu peux faire un peu de ménage
Sur la peau de mon visage?
Faut que tu effaces
Toutes ces traces
Creusées sur ma figure
Trempe mon cœur dans le ciment
Mes cheveux dans la peinture
Je ne sortirai plus jamais
Sans plusieurs couches de fourrure
Ma famille a de l'argent... Docteur
Hey Sorcier
Pourquoi sommes nous fiers comme des rochers
Fragiles comme du verre?
Je préfère le silex
Ce temps qui passe et moi qui passe avec
Je prends ça comme un échec
Faut que tu effaces
Toutes ces traces
Creusées sur ma figure
Trempe mon cœur dans le ciment
Mes cheveux dans la peinture
Je ne sortirai plus jamais
Sans plusieurs couches de fourrure
Ma famille a de l'argent... Docteur
On est tous pareil
Il est pour moi le soleil
On est tous les mêmes
C'est moi que j'aime
Faut que tu effaces
Toutes ces traces
Creusées sur ma figure
Trempe mon cœur dans le ciment
Mes cheveux dans la peinture
Je ne sortirai plus jamais
Sans plusieurs couches de fourrure
Ma famille a de l'argent... Docteur
J'aimerais faire moins que mon âge
Est-ce que tu peux faire un peu de ménage
Sur la peau de mon visage?
Je préfère les silex
Ce temps qui passe et moi qui passe avec
Je prends ça comme un échec

Assez de ces
Machins pointus
De tout c'qui blesse
De tout c'qui tue
Couteaux, coupe-coupes
Et balles perdues
Assez de ces
Machins pointus...
Assez, assez, assez, assez

Crampons de foot
Bijoux Van Cleef
Tonton-macoutes
Scouts à canifs
Assez de ces

Faut des ronds
Faut des courbes

Rue Lecourbe
Faut des ballons
Des cerceaux

Assez, assez, assez, assez

Assez de ces

Serpents-pythons
Et porc-épics

Assez de ces

Bon, Cupidon est dispensé
Les abeilles et les crustacés
OK, mais pas les chiens dressés
Les pit-bulls et les verres cassés
Les cutters des cours de lycée
Les harponneurs de cétacés
Tout ce qui blesse, ooh! c'est assez
Effacez tout, recommencez...

Docklands


Docklands Composer(s): Betsy Cook - Trevor Horn Performer(s): Stevie Nicks



Papa says... there are clothes to wash Sister says... brush your hair You'll go down... to the laundromat Maybe your sister is there Father says... when you're young like this... Things can seem... pretty bad Let's get out... and walk by the river And there are people who roam the Docklands And there are ships passing in the night And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed Gone in the daylight Sister says... hold your head up high Life goes on... so don't be afraid Keep your defenses... but don't shut the loving out You got to learn to carry that weight And all the people who roam the Docklands And all the ships passing through the night And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed Gone in the daylight Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land And there's a mirror I'm looking through Lost in the place where I was born Without a hand to hold on to Hold on... hold on Hold on... hold on In the Docklands where I was born... People keep moving to and fro Everybody's pushing... trying to make it happen I beg of you... I beg of you... I beg of you I miss you... more than I thought I could I need you... more than you know I was there... when they took you away from me I'll be there... when they let you go And then the people who roam the Docklands And all the ships passing in the night And the thousands of things that I have dreamed Stay in the daylight Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land And there's a mirror I'm looking through Well bring me back to the place where I was born Without a hand to hold on to Give me your hand Give me your hand... give me your hand Give me your hand... in the Docklands I... beg of you... give me your hand In the Docklands

Beds Are Burning


Beds Are Burning
Composer(s): Rob Hirst - Jim Moginie - Peter Garrett
First release by: Midnight Oil - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists



Out where the river broke
The blood wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share

The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
We're gonna give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
