Rusty Hinge


Rusty Hinge
Composer(s): Lew Brown
Performer(s): Louis Jordan & Chick Webb



Rusty hinge on the bench
Never satisfied with what I've got
I'm a good for nothin' rusty hinge
Always cringe!

I'll be drinkin' my corn
Till Gabriel blows his horn!
That music gets me swinging
Maybe I don't know
What it means to swing
Baby, I don't care
When I open my mouth and start to swing!

Rusty hinge on a bench
Never satisfied with what I've got
I'm a good for nothin' rusty hinge!

I was five and he was six We rode on horses made of sticks He wore black and I wore white He would always win the fight Bang bang, I hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, my baby shot me down Seasons came and changed the time And I grew up, I called him mine He would always laugh and say "Remember when we used to play?" Bang bang, I hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, my baby shot me down Now he's gone, I don't know why And till this day, sometimes I cry He didn't even say goodbye He didn't take the time to lie Bang bang, I hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, my baby shot me down

This Guitar Is For Sale


This Guitar Is For Sale
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein - Fred Koller
First release by: Bobby Bare - 1978



This guitar is for sale, I'll let her go cheap
She's pretty to look at but she don't earn her keep
She can roar like the west wind, she can weep, she can wail
But the tunes that she plays just ain't sellin' today
This guitar is for sale.

She lay close beside me on cold winter nights
She's got me in trouble and she won me some fights
We both come out all right
She knows all the sad songs that Hank ever wrote
Just touch her once gently and she'll take you on home
She'll tell you some stories 'bout junk yards and jails
And a fool with a song and a dream that went wrong
This guitar is for sale.

She's rode cross this country on freight trains and trucks
On 'round pawnshop windows when we're down on our luck
We been down on our luck
So please treat her kind, keep her out of the rain
It's funny you're askin', I never gave her a name
But if you say she looks weary, you been readin' our mail
So if you got the dough buddy take her and go
This guitar is for sale.

She's won me some ladies with her sweet lovin' songs
And she's stuck right here with me when the ladies were gone
And the ladies are gone
But hard times and trouble been doggin' our tail
So if you got the dough buddy take her and go
This guitar is for sale...

Avevamo cinque anni
correvamo sui cavalli
io e lei contro agli indiani
eravamo due cow boy

bang bang, di colpo lei
bang bang, lei si voltò
bang bang, di colpo lei
bang bang, a terra mi gettò

Non si può fermare il tempo
non si può mutare il vento
quindici anni aveva lei
ricordo quando mi baciò

bang bang, di colpo lei
bang bang, lei si voltò
bang bang, lei mi baciò
bang bang, e a terra mi lasciò

Sempre al mondo ci sarà
chi quei colpi sparerà
Sempre al mondo ci sarà
chi quei colpi sparerà

A vent'anni all'improvviso
senza dir perché né dove
se ne andata lei mi ha ucciso
come fosse un colpo al cuor

bang bang, di colpo lei
bang bang, lei si voltò
bang bang, lei se ne andò
bang bang, e a terra mi lasciò

Bang-Bang


Bang-Bang
((Adapted from: Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) (by Cher) - 1966))
((Italian Version: Bang Bang (by Equipe 84) - 1966))
Composer(s): Sonny Bono - Claude Carrère - Georges Aber
Performer(s): Sheila - 1966
and multiple other artists



Nous avions dix ans à peine
Tous nos jeux étaient les mêmes
Aux gendarmes et aux voleurs
Tu me visais droit au cœur
Bang bang, tu me tuais
Bang bang, et je tombais
Bang bang, et ce bruit-là
Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas

Nous avons grandi ensemble
On s'aimait bien il me semble
Mais tu n'avais de passion
Que pour tes jeux de garçon
Bang bang, tu t'amusais
Bang bang, je te suivais
Bang bang, et ce bruit-là
Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas

Un jour tu as eu vingt ans
Il y avait déjà longtemps
Que l'amour avait remplacé
Notre amitié du passé
Et quand il en vint une autre
On ne sait à qui la faute
Tu ne m'avais jamais menti
Avec elle tu es parti
Bang bang, tu m'as quittée
Bang bang, je suis restée
Bang bang, et ce bruit-là
Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas

Quand j'aperçois des enfants
Se poursuivre en s'amusant
Et faire semblant de se tuer
Je me sens le cœur serré
Bang bang, je me souviens
Bang bang, tout me revient
Bang bang, et ce bruit-là
Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas

Troubadour Song


Troubadour Song
Composer(s): Louis Pippa
Performer(s): Burl Ives



Do you happen to know of a maiden in need
Of a sweetheart? Here's one who is anxious to plead
It's a shame that a handsome young fellow like me
Should be left while the nightingale sings in the tree
It's a shame that a handsome young fellow like me
Should be left while the nightingale sings in the tree

In the wood and the meadow, beneath the bright moon
Every lad with his lass makes the most of the June
The world's gone a-wooing, excepting of me
While the nightingale sings to his mate in the tree
The world's gone a-wooing, excepting of me
While the nightingale sings to his mate in the tree

The time, it is short, there is none I can spare
For the nightingale's song will soon die in the air
Don't you think, dearest Phyllis, you'd better agree
To make love while the nightingale sings in the tree?
Don't you think, dearest Phyllis, you'd better agree
To make love while the nightingale sings in the tree?

Der Junge Mit Der Mundharmonika


Der Junge Mit Der Mundharmonika
Performer(s): Christian Anders



Da war ein Traum, der so alt ist, wie die Welt
Und der ihn traeumt, hoert ihm zu, der ihn erzaehlt

Der Junge mit der Mundharmonika
singt von dem, was einst geschah
in silbernen Traeumen
von der Barke mit der glaesernen Fracht
die in sternenklarer Nacht
Deiner Traurigkeit entflieht

Du hoerst sein Lied und ein Engel steht im Raum
Dann weißt du nicht, ist es Wahrheit oder Traum

Der Junge mit der Mundharmonika
singt von dem, was einst geschah
in silbernen Traeumen
von der Barke mit der glaesernen Fracht
die in sternenklarer Nacht
Deiner Traurigkeit entflieht

Der Junge mit der Mundharmonika
singt von dem, was einst geschah
in silbernen Traeumen
von der Barke mit der glaesernen Fracht
die in sternenklarer Nacht
Deiner Traurigkeit entflieht

Ladytron
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry
First release by: Roxy Music - 1972



You've got me girl on the run around run around
You've got me all around town
You've got me girl on the run around
And it's getting me down, getting me down
Lady if you want to find a lover
Then you look no further
For I'm gonna be your only
Searching at the start of the season
And my only reason
Is that I´ll get to you
I´ll find some way of connection
Hiding my intention
Then I´ll move up close to you
I´ll use you and I´ll confuse you
And then I´ll lose you
Still you won't suspect me

Lady-O


Lady-O
Performer(s): The Turtles



While you sit and seek a crescent moon is laying
At your feet
With hope that's made of sand
It don't think you can
But you have held it all in your hands

I've been trying hard to keep from needing you
But from the start
My heart just rolled and flowed
I've seen where it goes
Still somehow my love for you grows, Lady-0

So on my heels I'll grow wings
Gonna ride silver strings
But I'll see you in my holiest dreams, Lady-0

(repeat chorus)

I've been trying hard to keep from needing you
But from the start
My heart just rolled and flowed
I've seen where it goes

Still somehow my love for you grows, Lady-O
So on my heels I'll grow wings
Gonna ride silver strings
But I'll see you in my holiest dreams, Lady-O

Ladybug


Ladybug
Composer(s): James Stein
Performer(s): Captain & Tenille; Anne Murray



Don't disturb the ladybug
Sleepin' by the spider's web
And if you see a butterfly
Don't try to catch it in your net
It's taken such a long long time
To make this very special place
Open up your soul and mind
To all it has to say

Be still
Take it in awhile
Feel the sunshine
Warm upon your face
You'll feel
When it makes you smile
Like you're welcome
To the human race

Everybody sees a part
Of what this life can really be
No one sees like you can see
When you let your mind be free
The wind is blowing through the trees
A song that everyone can learn
God is playing hide and seek
Everywhere you turn

Be still
Take it in awhile
Feel the sunshine
Warm upon your face
You'll feel
When it makes you smile
Like you're welcome
To the human race

Donna Maria, Donna Maria
Ik weet dat je wacht
nog iedere nacht in Santa Lucia
Donna Maria, Donna Maria
Maar wacht toch niet meer
want ik kom niet meer naar Santa Lucia

Huil toch niet, om wat jij nu hebt verloren
Huil toch niet, omdat ik ben weggegaan
Er kwam een ander, dus ik verander nu mijn leven
Nee huil toch niet, wees blij dat ik ben weggegaan

Donna Maria, Donna Maria
Ik weet dat je wacht
nog iedere nacht in Santa Lucia
Donna Maria, Donna Maria
Maar wacht toch niet meer
want ik kom niet meer naar Santa Lucia

Huil toch niet, denk eens na je zult begrijpen
In m'n hart was voor jou nog slechts venijn
Was ik gebleven, ik zou je ongelukkig maken
Nee huil toch niet, zo zal het heus veel beter gaan

Donna Maria, Donna Maria

nog iedere nacht in Santa Lucia

Maar wacht toch niet meer

Lady Writer
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits; The Tribute Band



Lady writer on the TV
Talk about the Virgin Mary
Reminded me of you
Expectation left a come on too

Lady writer on the TV
She had another quality
The way you used to look
And I know you never read a book

Just the way that her hair fell down around her face
And I recall my fall from grace
Another time another place

Lady writer on the TV
She had all her brains and the beauty
The pictures does not fit
You'd talk to me when you felt like this

Just the way that her hair fell down around her face
And I recall my fall from grace
Another time another place

Your rich old man
You know he'd a call her a dead wringer
You got the same command
Plus your mother was a mess in life

Just the way that her hair fell down around her face
And I recall my fall from grace
Another time another place

Lady writer on the TV
She knew all about history
You couldn't hardly write your name
I think I want it just the same

Lady writer on the TV
Talking about the Virgin Mary
You know I'm talking about you and me
Lady writer on the TV

J'entends Siffler Le Train


J'entends Siffler Le Train
Composer(s): Jacques Plante; Hedy West
Performer(s): Anthony Richard; Franco Battiato



J'ai pensé qu'il valait mieux
Nous quitter sans un adieu
Je n'aurais pas eu le coeur de te revoir...
Mais j'entends siffler le train
Mais j'entends siffler le train
Que c'est triste un train qui siffle dans le soir...

Je pouvais t'imaginer, toute seule, abandonnée
Sur le quai, dans la cohue des "au revoir"
Et j'entends siffler le train
Et j'entends siffler le train
Que c'est triste un train qui siffle dans le soir...

J'ai failli courir vers toi, j'ai failli crier vers toi
C'est à peine si j'ai pu me retenir!
Que c'est loin où tu t'en vas
Que c'est loin où tu t'en vas
Auras-tu jamais le temps de revenir?

J'ai pensé qu'il valait mieux
Nous quitter sans un adieu
Mais je sens que maintenant tout est fini!
Et j'entends siffler ce train
Et j'entends siffler ce train
J'entendrai siffler ce train toute ma vie...

Performer(s): U2



Here she comes
Lady luck again
Figure of eight
Six and nine again

My lady with the spinning head

Whatever the deal
She won't let me down
Wherever I go
She's always hanging 'round

My lady with the spinning head
La la la la la la la la la la la
Lady with the spinning head
La la la la la la la la la la la
Lady with the spinning head

She's been gone
But I knew she'd be back
She's got the rent
She put me in the black

The lady with the spinning head

Took my mind
Took away my car
Do you dare to ask
What I'm talking about

I'm on top
When she's around
She's my ticket
Out of town

La la la la la la la la la la la
Lady with the spinning head
La la la la la la la la la la la

El Bandolero Stanco


El Bandolero Stanco
Composer(s): Roberto Vecchioni Performer(s): Roberto Vecchioni



Sarà forse il vento che non l'accarezza più
sarà il suo cappello che da un po' non gli sta su
sarà quella ruga di ridente nostalgia
o la confusione tra la vita e la poesia
non assalta treni perché non ne passan mai
non rapina banche, perché i soldi sono i suoi
vive di tramonti e di calcolati oblii
e di commoventi, ripetuti lunghi addii
struggenti addii...

El bandolero stanco
col cuore infranto stanotte va
va, su un cavallo bianco
col suo tormento lontano va
dov'è silenzio
dov'è silenzio, dove...
dov'è silenzio, dov'è silenzio
dov'è silenzio, dove...

Ha una collezione insuperabile di taglie
molte, tutte vuote già da tempo, le bottiglie
dorme sul cavallo che non lo sopporta più
e si è fatto un mazzo per la pampa su e giù
Ogni notte passa
e getta un fiore a qualche porta
rosso come il sangue
del suo cuore di una volta
poi galoppa via fino all'inganno dell'aurora
dove qualche gaucho
giura di sentirlo ancora
cantare ancora...

Ah bandolero stanco
stanotte ho pianto
pensando a te
c'è un po' della mia vita
nella tua vita che se ne va
dov'è silenzio
dov'è silenzio, dove...
dov'è silenzio
dov'è silenzio, dove...

Se chiudo gli occhi, dentro gli occhi
sei di nuovo quello vero
quando sorridevo, quando ti credevo
ascoltami, guardami, sta' fermo
è ancora vivo questo amore
tutto questo amore, tutto il nostro amore
e tu lontano non ci vai
a morire come una puttana
prima del mio cuore
al posto del mio cuore
non mi lasciare solo in questa
notte che non vedo il cielo
torna bandolero! torna bandolero!
torna bandolero!
Dov'è silenzio
dov'è silenzio, dove...
dov'è silenzio
dov'è silenzio, dove...

Lady With The Lamp


Lady With The Lamp
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia
Performer(s): Country Joe McDonald



I don't mind, please don't misunderstand
I know the score of war
A soldier's life is give and give
And then they ask for more
Walking on the picket line
Where my comrades fell
Holding up the thin-red-line
In the shot and shell

The lady with the lamp
You know she understands
The lady with the lamp
She's the soldiers' friend

I don't mind the blistering heat
I think I can endure
It's freezing cold and I can't feel my feet
Well, that's the hell of war
I never thought about the big red wound
When I saw my comrades fall
Now I'm in this cold and lonely room
Wondering if I'll live at all

The lady with the lamp
You know she understands
The lady with the lamp
She's the soldiers' friend

First they use us
And then they throw us away
Only Miss Nightingale
Knows the price that we pay
The lady with the lamp

Excuse me please, a cup of tea
I've such a terrible thirst
Would you please come and sit with me
I feel it's come to the worst
Write my mother that I love her so
I can't seem to hold the pen
Take this keep-sake and send it home
To those I'll never see again

The lady with the lamp
You know she understands
The lady with the lamp
She's the soldiers' friend

She will hold his hand
Stay with him to the end
You know she understands
She's the soldier's friend

Werkeloos


Werkeloos
Composer(s): Pierre Kartner
Performer(s): Jacques Herb



Morgen zouden zij gaan trouwen
Samen naar het altaar gaan
Morgen zou het jawoord klinken
Klokken zouden voor hen slaan
Maar 't geluk kon niet lang duren
Op z'n werk kreeg hij ontslag
Zo heeft hij zijn bruid verloren
Omdat hij niet werken mag

Werkeloos, kan toch geen schande zijn
Maar brengt veel leed en pijn
Voor hen die trouwen gaan
Werkeloos, maakt hem een eenzaam man
Omdat hij voor dagelijks brood
Niet werken kan

Zij nam toen voor hem een ander
Hij werd een gebroken mens
Omdat hij voor geld wil werken
Dat is nog z'n laatste wens
Hij is toen uit nood gaan stelen
Voor z'n bruid waar hij van houdt
Jaren moet hij daar voor boeten
Voor die ene kleine fout

Werkeloos, kan toch geen schande zijn
Maar brengt veel leed en pijn
Voor hen die trouwen gaan
Werkeloos, maakt hem een eenzaam man
Omdat hij voor dagelijks brood
Niet werken kan
