Ragazzo Dell'Europa


Ragazzo Dell'Europa
Composer(s): Gianna Nannini
Performer(s): Gianna Nannini



Tu che guardi verso di me
hai visto i tori nel sonno ed hai lasciato Madrid
stai nei miei occhi e racconti le sirene e gli inganni del tuo sogno che va
tu ragazzo dell'Europa
tu non perdi mai la strada
tu che prendi a calci la notte
bevi fiumi di vodka e poi ti infili i miei jeans
tu cominci sempre qualcosa e mi lasci sospesa e non parli di te
tu ragazzo dell'Europa
tu col cuore fuori strada
tu che fai l'amore selvaggio
trovi sempre un passagio per andare più in là
viaggi con quell'aria precaria
sembri quasi un poeta dentro ai tuoi bouleavard
tu ragazzo dell'Europa
porti in giro la fortunatu che incontri tutti per caso
non ritorni a Varsavia per non fare il soldato
ora vivi in mezzo a una sfida per le vie di Colonia
e non sai dove andrai
tu ragazzo dell'Europa
tu non pianti mai bandiera
tu ragazzo dell'Europa
tu ragazzo dell'Europa
tu non pianti mai bandiera
tu ragazzo dell'Europa
tu non pianti mai bandiera

The Long Run


The Long Run
Composer(s): Glenn Frey - Don Henley
First release by: Eagles - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out till the break of day
oh that didnt git it, it was high time I quit it
I just couldnt carry on that way
oh, I did some damage, I know its true
didn't know I was so lonely till I found you

who can go the distance?
we'll find out in the long run, in the long run
we can handle some resistance
if our love is a strong one. is a strong one
people talkin about us, they got nothing else to do
when it all comes down we will still come through
in the long run
ooh I want to tell you it's a long run

you know I don't understand why you don't treat yourself better
do the crazy things that you do
when all the debutantes back in Houston baby
couldn't hold a candle to you
did you do it for love, did you do it for money
did you do it for spite, did you think you had to honey?

who is gonna make it?
well find out in the long run, in the long run
I know we can take it
if our love is a strong one, is a strong one
well were scared but we ain't shakin
kinda bent but we ain't breakin
in the long run
ooh I want to tell you it's a long run

Chattanooga Choo Choo


Chattanooga Choo Choo Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Warren First performance: Glenn Miller - 1939 Covered by multiple other artists



Pardon me boy
is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo
Track 29 boy you can give me a shine
I can afford
to board a Chattanooga Choo Choo
I've got my fare and just a trifle to spare

Well you leave the Pennsylvania station
'bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore
Dinner at the diner
Nothing could be finer
Then you have your ham and eggs in Carolina

When you hear the whistle blowing
eight to the bar
Then you know that Tenneesse is not very far
Shovel all the coal in
Gotta keep it rolling
Whoo,Whoo, Chattanooga there you are

There's gonna be
A certain party at the station
Satin and lace
I used to call funny face
She's gonna cry Until
I tell her that I'll never roam
So, Chattanooga Choo Choo
Won't you Choo Choo me home!

Ragamuffin Man


Ragamuffin Man
Composer(s): Peter Callander; Mitch Murray
Performer(s): Manfred Mann; Paper Lace



Born and raised as a rich man's son
You were always the restless one
Living high only made you low
So you packed up and hit the road

Chorus:
Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
Life was so grand, you used to stand
Holdin' your head up high
Look at you now, I wonder how
You can be satisfied

Stowed a ride on a westbound train
Called yourself by another name
Spent your nights in a mission home
Cast away the life that you'd known

(chorus)

As you rise in the mornin' rain
Take a look down that road again
Does the thought ever grab your mind
For the life that you've left behind?

(chorus)

Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
Ahhhhh, la la la la la la la
Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man

The Long And Winding Road


The Long And Winding Road
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



The long and winding road, that leads to your door
Will never disappear, I've seen that road before
It always leads me here, lead me to your door
The wild and windy night, that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears, crying for the day
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone, and many times I've cried
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back, to the long winding road
You left me standing here, a long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to you door!
But still they lead me back, to the long and winding road
You left me standing here, a long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here, lead me to you

Chattahoochee


Chattahoochee Composer(s): Alan Jackson - Jim McBride Performer(s): Alan Jackson and multiple other artists



Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
We laid rubber on the Georgie asphalt
We got a little crazy but we never got caught

Down by the river on a friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute
Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned how I was
A lot about livin' and a litttle 'bout love

Well we fooged up the windows in my old chevy
I was willing but she wasn't ready
So a settled for a burger and a grape sno - cone
Dropped her off early but I didn't go home

Down by the river on a friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute
Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned how I was
A lot about livin' and a litttle 'bout love

Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie

We got a little crazy but we never got caught

Dropped her off early but I didn't go home

Via Della Povertà


Via Della Povertà
((Adapted from: Desolation Row (Bob Dylan) - 1965))
((Dutch Version: De Verloren Straat (Ernst Jansz) - 2010))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Fabrizio De André
Performer(s): Fabrizio De André - 1974



Il Salone di bellezza in fondo al vicolo
è affollatissimo di marinai
prova a chiedere a uno che ore sono
e ti risponderà "non l'ho saputo mai"

Le cartoline dell'impiccagione
sono in vendita a cento lire l'una
il commissario cieco dietro la stazione
per un indizio ti legge la sfortuna

e le forze dell'ordine irrequiete
cercano qualcosa che non va
mentre io e la mia signora ci affacciamo stasera
su via della Povertà

Cenerentola sembra così facile
ogni volta che sorride ti cattura
ricorda proprio Bette Davis
con le mani appoggiate alla cintura

Arriva Romeo trafelato
e le grida "il mio amore sei tu"
ma qualcuno gli dice di andar via
e di non riprovarci più

e l'unico suono che rimane
quando l'ambulanza se ne va
è Cenerentola che spazza la strada
in via della Povertà

Mentre l'alba sta uccidendo la luna
e le stelle si son quasi nascoste
la signora che legge la fortuna
se n'è andata in compagnia dell'oste

Ad eccezione di Abele e di Caino
tutti quanti sono andati a far l'amore
aspettando che venga la pioggia
ad annacquare la gioia ed il dolore

e il Buon Samaritano
sta affilando la sua pietà
se ne andrà al Carnevale stasera
in via della Povertà

I tre Re Magi sono disperati
Gesù Bambino è diventato vecchio
e Mister Hyde piange sconcertato
vedendo Jeckyll che ride nello specchio

Ofelia è dietro la finestra
mai nessuno le ha detto che è bella
a soli ventidue anni
è già una vecchia zitella

la sua morte sarà molto romantica
trasformandosi in oro se ne andrà
per adesso cammina avanti e indietro
in via della Povertà

Einstein travestito da ubriacone
ha nascosto i suoi appunti in un baule
è passato di qui un'ora fa
diretto verso l'ultima Thule

sembrava così timido e impaurito
quando ha chiesto di fermarsi un po' qui
ma poi ha cominciato a fumare
e a recitare l'A B C

ed a vederlo tu non lo diresti mai
ma era famoso qualche tempo fa
per suonare il violino elettrico
in via della Povertà

Ci si prepara per la grande festa
c'è qualcuno che comincia ad aver sete
il fantasma dell'opera
si è vestito in abiti da prete
sta ingozzando a viva forza Casanova
per punirlo della sua sensualità
lo ucciderà parlandogli d'amore
dopo averlo avvelenato di pietà

e mentre il fantasma grida
tre ragazze si son spogliate già
Casanova sta per essere violentato
in via della Povertà

E bravo Nettuno mattacchione
il Titanic sta affondando nell'aurora
nelle scialuppe i posti letto sono tutti occupati
e il capitano grida "ce ne stanno ancora"

e Ezra Pound e Thomas Eliot
fanno a pugni nella torre di comando
i suonatori di calipso ridono di loro
mentre il cielo si sta allontanando

e affacciati alle loro finestre nel mare
tutti pescano mimose e lillà
e nessuno deve più preoccuparsi
di via della Povertà

A mezzanotte in punto i poliziotti
fanno il loro solito lavoro
metton le manette intorno ai polsi
a quelli che ne sanno più di loro

i prigionieri vengon trascinati
su un calvario improvvisato lì vicino
e il caporale Adolfo li ha avvisati
che passeranno tutti dal camino
e il vento ride forte
e nessuno riuscirà a ingannare il suo destino
in via della Povertà

La tua lettera l'ho avuta proprio ieri
mi racconti tutto quel che fai
ma non essere ridicola
non chiedermi "come stai"

questa gente di cui mi vai parlando
è gente come tutti noi
non mi sembra che siano mostri
non mi sembra che siano eroi
e non mandarmi ancora tue notizie
nessuno ti risponderà
se insisti a spedirmi le tue lettere
da via della Povertà

Chat Gris Chagrin


Chat Gris Chagrin
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Chat gris, chagrin soir
Et matin sur l'édredon fait son ronron
Chat gris, chagrin les yeux éteints
Trouve le temps long et tourne en rond

Elle, elle comprenait chat gris
Elle, elle te parlait chagrin
Moi j'suis ton ami aussi
Mais j'ai ma tête entre mes mains
Tu le vois bien

Et que peut bien faire un monsieur sans entrain
Pour te distraire chat gris, chagrin
Te jeter son cœur comme une boule de laine
Ça f'rait ton bonheur ça chass'rait pas ta peine

Chat gris, chagrin dans le jardin
De papillon en abandon
Chat gris, chagrin
Trouve son patron pas folichon

Elle, elle m'a quitté chat gris
Elle, elle t'a oublié chagrin
Va, si tu peux la trouver
Moi, je ne peux pas t'aider
Tu le vois bien

Que pourrait bien faire un monsieur sans entrain
Pour te distraire chat gris, chagrin
Te jeter son cœur comme une boule de laine
Ça f'rait ton bonheur ça chass'rait pas ta peine

Rag Mama Rag
Composer(s): J.R. Robertson
Performer(s): The Band



Rag Mama Rag, I can't believe it's true
Rag Mama Rag, what did you do?
I crawled up to the railroad track, let the four nine-teen scratch my back

Shag mama shag now whats come over you
Rag Mama Rag, I'm a pulling out your gag
Gonna turn you lose like an old caboose
Got a tail I need a drag
I ask about your turtle, and you ask about the weather
Well, I can't jump the hurdle and we can't get together
We could be relaxing in my sleeping bag
But all you want to do for me mama is a Rag Mama Rag
There's nowhere to go

Rag Mama Rag
Come on resin up the bow

Rag Mama Rag, where do ya roam?
Rag Mama Rag, bring your skinny little body right home

Its dog eat dog and cat eat mouse, you can
Rag Mama Rag all over my house

Hail stones beatin on the roof
the bourbon is a hundred proof
its you and me and the telephone
Our destiny is quite well known
We don't need to sit and brag
All we gotta do is
Rag Mama Rag
Rag Mama Rag
Where do you roam?
Rag Mama Rag, bring your skinny little body back home

Contact... Moteur! Y a du monde sur les boulevards Des chevaux sous les capots Des ronflements dans le brouillard De drôles de bruits dans la sono On s'dit "bonjour" et puis "au-revoir" Un signe de tête dans les rétros Motos, pilotes, autos, motards Good bye, good luck, à bientôt On laisse les habitudes pour d'autres latitudes Destination plein sud! Chasseur de rêves Pour vivre l'aventure ailleurs Vivre l'aventure ailleurs Chasseur de rêves Chasseur de rêves... Hé! pourquoi tu cours dans le désert Dans la vapeur des moteurs chauds Si c'est pas pour gagner l'enfer Au paradis auto-moto? Accélère! ça passe, ça passe! Bloque l'aiguille au compteur Et pilote au tempo moteur Jolie mafia! Les machines infernales Se battent dans la poussière Au delà des frontières Mirages de voyageurs Faut tenir pour la victoire Faut tenir jusqu'à Dakar Chasseur de rêves Pour vivre l'aventure ailleurs Vivre l'aventure ailleurs Chasseur de rêves, chasseur de rêves Chasseur de rêves... Quand on lève la tête sous un soleil de plomb Parfois le temps s'arrête, le temps a raison L'eau est tiède mais là-bas c'est normal Le soleil a le poids du sommeil Au petit jour, café trop chaud Quelques mots... On r'part... L'étape c'est la dernière Les sourires sont fatigués Derniers kilomètres en plein cœur de la forêt On a rattrapé l'horizon On a tenu jusqu'à Dakar Chasseur de rêves Pour vivre l'aventure ailleurs Vivre l'aventure ailleurs Chasseur de rêves, L'aventure est loin Chasseur de rêves Chasseur de rêves Vivre l'aventure ailleurs Entre les hommes et l'équateur Chasseur de rêves Chasseur de rêves...

Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Ahh, ah-ah-ah-ahh (Rag doll, ooh)
Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

(Hand-me-down) When she was just a kid her clothes were hand-me-down
(Hand-me-down) They always laughed at her when she came into town
Called her rag doll, little rag doll
Such a pretty face should be dressed in lace

Ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh (Ooh-oo-ooh)
Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

(Sad rag doll) I'd change her sad rags into glad rags if I could
(If I could) My folks won't let me 'cause they say that she's no good
She's a rag doll, such a rag doll
Though I love her so, I can't let her know

Ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh (Ooh-oo-ooh)

Ahh, ah-ah-ah-ahh (Rag doll, ooh)

La Mort Solitaire De Hattie Carroll


La Mort Solitaire De Hattie Carroll
((Adapted from: The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll (Bob Dylan) - 1964))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Hugues Aufray - Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Hugues Aufray - 1965



William Zanzinger a tué Hattie Carroll
Il l'a tué sans raison d'un coup de canne en or
Au cours d'une soirée donnée à Baltimore
La police appelée désarma l'assassin
Il fut accompagné jusqu'au poste voisin
Inculpé d'homicide et gardé en prison

Vous qui philosophez tout le temps et critiquez les gens
Ne sortez pas votre mouchoir, vous pleurerez plus tard

William Zanzinger tout juste vingt quatre ans
Possédait un domaine d'au moins trois cents hectares
Héritier, protégé par de riches parents
Des soutiens politiques et des murs de dollars
Il haussa les épaules, poussa quelques jurons
Et fut presque aussitôt libéré sous caution

Vous qui philosophez tout le temps et critiquez les gens
Ne sortez pas votre mouchoir, vous pleurerez plus tard

Hattie Carroll était plutôt noire de couleur
Elle avait 50 ans et dix enfants mineurs
Elle vidait les ordures et apportait les plats
S'approchait de la table mais ne s'asseyait pas
Elle n'osait adresser la parole au patron
Vidant les cendriers, balayant le salon
Elle fut tué sur le coup, pauvre femme de misère
Elle qui n'avait rien fait à William Zanzinger

Vous qui philosophez tout le temps et critiquez les gens
Ne sortez pas votre mouchoir, vous pleurerez plus tard

Au palais de justice, le juge pris son temps
Pour étudier l'affaire très attentivement
Il dit tout citoyen pris en flagrant délit
Qu'il soit riche, qu'il soit pauvre, devait être puni
Et que la loi ferait aucune distinction
Condamnant sans faiblesse ceux qui tuent sans raison
Attendus ces motifs, le juge d'un ton sévère
Donna six mois de prison à William Zanzinger

Vous qui philosophez tout le temps et critiquez les gens
Vous pouvez sortir vos mouchoirs, il est bien temps de pleurer ce soir

Chasing Shadows (Uriah Heep)


Chasing Shadows Composer(s): Mick Box - Bob Daisley - Peter Goalby - Lee Kerslake - John Sinclair Performer(s): Uriah Heep



Seen from the shadows
Deep in the night
I know you're near
But you're nowhere in sight
Seen from the darkness
Down in the streets
I hear your footsteps
I hear your heartbeat
Oh, I can hear your heartbeat

A misty corner
Away from the light
I know you're near
But you're nowhere in sight
On my shoulder
I feel you're near
I feel you moving
But you never appear

Radio, Radio


Radio, Radio
Composer(s): Elvis Costello
Performer(s): Elvis Costello



I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial
doing anything my radio advised
with every one of those late night stations
playing songs bringing tears to me eyes
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
when the switch broke 'cause it's old
They're saying things that I can hardly believe
They really think we're getting out of control

Radio is a sound salvation
Radio is cleaning up the nation
They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they don't give you any choice
'cause they think that it's treason
So you had better do as you are told
You better listen to the radio

I wanna bite the hand that feeds me
I wanna bite that hand so badly
I want to make them wish they'd never seen me

Some of my friends sit around every evening
and they worry about the times ahead
But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference
and the promise of an early bed
You either shut up or get cut out
they don't wanna hear about it
It's only inches on the reel-to-reel
And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
tryin' to anaesthetise the way that you feel

(Chorus)

Wonderful radio
Marvelous radio
Wonderful radio
Radio, radio...

The Loneliest Man On The Moon


The Loneliest Man On The Moon
Performer(s): David Castle



Sitting on the corner of the moon
Wishing you would get here soon
Whistling a lonely tune
Waiting for the next balloon

Reflections of the past are on my face
I don't know why I joined this race
Without you, I feel out of place
It's so lonely here in outer space

Babe, I'm the loneliest man on the moon

Spending my nights with the meteorites
Babe, I'm the loneliest man on the moon
Sharing my lips with a total eclipse
And I don't think you're coming back soon

The stars are falling down from the sky
Teardrops falling from my eyes
When I saw you wave goodbye
You were in a crowd, I was in a cloud

Babe, I'm the loneliest man on the moon

'Cause I don't see another balloon

Babe, I'm the loneliest man on the moon

Babe, I'm the loneliest man on the moon
Sharing my lips with a total eclipse
And I don't think you're coming back soon
Cause I don't see another balloon

I'm the loneliest man on the moon
I'm the loneliest man on the moon
I'm the loneliest man on the moon
I'm the loneliest man
Loneliest man, loneliest man on the moon

Chasing Shadows (Deep Purple)


Chasing Shadows Composer(s): Jon Lord - Ian Paice Performer(s): Deep Purple



Chasing shadows, over my walls
with myself hardly sleeping
Dwarfs and giants, twenty feet tall
fill the room with their creeping

Sounds of breathing sharpen my ears
then they fade into nothing
Someone's laughter out in the street
fills the night with their loving

I feel the ice in my head
Running its hands through my bed
Not even dreaming I seem to be dead
Colours of yellow and colours of red

All I'm asking some secret voice
is to lead me to darkness

I'm so tired, dawn never comes
I just hide in the shadows

The Lone Teen Ranger


The Lone Teen Ranger
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Tom & Jerry (Paul Simon as Jerry Landis)



Ba ba ba… ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba…
Hi, ho, Silver, away

Ba ba ba… ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba…
Hey, but the Lone Teen Ranger

Oh, he rides around on a big white horse
He’s as cool as he can be
And my baby fell in love with him
When she saw him on TV
And since that day, I’m sorry to say
She hasn’t had time for me
‘Cause he goes “bang, bang” –gun shot–
He’s the Lone Teen Ranger

Ba ba ba… ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba…
Hi, ho, Silver, away

Ba ba ba… ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba…
Hey, but the Lone Teen Ranger

To save my soul I can’t get a date
And you know who’s to blame
Since the Lone Teen Ranger came around
My girfriend’s not the same
She even kissed the TV set
Oh it’s a crying shame
‘Cause he goes “bang, bang” –gun shot–
He’s the Lone Teen Ranger

Ha! Pony!
Ride! Ride!

Every night at eight o’clock, she turns on the TV
The Lone Teen Ranger stole my girl
(She’s got no time for me)

Well, he better watch out, ‘cause I’m getting’ mad
And here’s what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna wear a mask and ride a horse and carry a six-gun too
And when my baby looks at me, she’s gonna love me too
‘Cause I’ll go “bang, bang” –gun shot–
He’s the Lone Teen Ranger

Hi, ho, Silver, there he goes! He’s the Lone Teen Ranger!
Hi, ho, Silver, there he goes! He’s the Lone Teen Ranger!...

(Who was that masked man?
You don’t know? That’s the Lone Teen Ranger!)

Chasin' The Wind


Chasin' The Wind Composer(s): Diane Warren Performer(s): Chicago



Did the best I could To make you mine If you ever felt anything for me Well, you never gave a sign Thought time would make you change Make you want me But baby I never had a chance Now I know that there’s just some things Just not meant to be No use Making you care about me No way That I’m gonna win Oh darlin’ I might as well be Chasin’ the wind Oh, I’m just Chasin’ the wind Opened up my heart Let you inside If love was what you were lookin’ for Well, I guess it wasn’t mine So I guess I better go It’s over and done But you know I’m not really sad at all ’cause you can’t really say it’s over When it never had begun No use Making you care about me No way That I’m gonna win Oh darlin’ I might as well be Chasin’ the wind Oh, I’m just Chasin’ the wind Can’t reach the sea If you can’t get past the sand Can’t touch the sky If you can’t reach up your hand Can’t give if you give nothing back No use Making you care about me No way That I’m gonna win Oh darlin’ I might as well be Chasin’ the wind Oh, I’m just Chasin’ the wind
