The Young New Mexican Puppeteer
The Young New Mexican Puppeteer
Composer(s): Leon Carr - Earl Shuman
First release by: Tom Jones - 1972
In a town near Albequerqe
Lived a most concerned young boy
He said lately I have noticed
Folks don't live with peace and joy
With frowns and worry on their faces
They're lost and don't know where to go
He said I'll get the people straightened
By putting on a puppet show
The young New Mexican puppeteer
He saw the people all lived in fear
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
A puppet telling them what to do
You know he got some string and he got some wood
He did some carving and he was good
And folks came running so they could hear
The young New Mexican puppeteer
First he carved out young Abe Lincoln
Abe will teach 'em civil rights
Then a king named Martin Luther
So they'd recall his peacefull fight
Old Mark Twain, his wit and wisdom
Will surely show them life is fun
But he smiled with satisfaction
When the prince of peace was done
The young New Mexican puppeteer
He saw the people all lived in fear
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
A puppet telling them what to do
You know he got some string and he got some wood
He did some carving and he was good
And folks came running so they could hear
The young New Mexican puppeteer
Now his puppet shows were clever
And he made the people laugh
When he got across the message
To walk along lifes open path
They built him his own puppet theatre
Decked out with spotlights yellow and red
And then they wrote him up in all the papers
And this is what the story said
It said...
The young New Mexican puppeteer
He saw the people all lived in fear
He thought that maybe they would listen to
A puppet telling them what to do
You know he got some string and he got some wood
He did some carving and he was good
And folks came running so they could hear
The young New Mexican puppeteer

The Revenge Of Vera Gemini
The Revenge Of Vera Gemini
Composer(s): Albert Bouchard - Patti Smith
Performer(s): Blue Öyster Cult
You're boned like a saint
With the consciousness of a snake
You're the kind of girl
I'd like to find
Face like an angel
But you're boned like the devil
Your eyes have shifted from me
Everyone saw what you did
You have slipped from beneath me
Like a false and nervous squid
Oh no more horses horses
We're gonna swim like a fish
Into the hole, in which you planned to ditch me
My lovely Vera Marie
You planned to leave me cold
But you'll never get your wish
On the 24th of May
I'll gather up your reins
You filled me with a vengeance
And you touched me with your breath
I'm gonna pull you from this dance
You're gonna ride so easily
Oh no more horses horses
We're gonna swim like a fish
Into the hole, in which you planned to ditch me
My lovely Vera Marie
I was your victim
I was well deceived
Hell's built on regret
But I love your naked neck
And evil lies that you told me
Could make me believe your two-faced
Because two faces have you
And they're both gonna go
Oh no more horses horses
We're gonna swim like a fish
Into the hole, in which you planned to ditch me
My lovely Vera Gemini

En continuo claroscuro

The Return Of The Red Baron
The Return Of The Red Baron
Performer(s): The Royal Guardsmen
(plane crash, laughing and "Der curse little klinehund Snoopy")
You remember that baron flying high in the sky
When Snoopy shot him down with a gleam in his eye
But that baron had leaped from his blood-red plane
Just before it burst into a ball of flame
Snoopy circled back to check his kill
Saw the bloody red baron standing high on a hill
Then he swooped down low
Shouted "Curse you red baron!"
The German shook his fist you could hear him swear "Ach der lieber!"
Hey watch out little Snoopy
You're really in a mess
You thought you were through with the bloody red baron
But it looks like he's not down yet
Then a cry went up all over the land
The bloody red baron would strike again
But brave little Snoopy said "Never fear"
As he headed for his plane all the people cheered (Yeeaaaahhhh!)
Hey watch out little Snoopy
You're really in a mess
You thought you were through with the bloody red baron
But it looks like he's not down yet
Snoopy blazed a trail straight across the sea
Searching in vain for his enemy
Then he found that German trying to fix his plane
A-sweatin' and a-cussin' about to go insane
Take it
Snoopy landed for a pistol duel
The baron was worried
Snoopy was cool
He fired a shot and missed
Started to run
Before Snoopy had a chance to raise his gun
Hey watch out red baron
Snoopy is on your trail
One of these days he's gonna make you pay
And you'll go straight to
Well watch out red baron
Snoopy is on your trail
One of these days he's gonna make you pay
And you'll go straight to
Well watch out red baron...

Dites-moi avez vous connu Charlie?
Le contraire m'eût étonné
Il n'est pas une boîte qu'il n'ait fréquentée
Quel noceur!
Requiem pour un twister
Dites-moi l'avez-vous connu à jeun?
Le contraire m'eût étonné
Il n'est pas soir qu'il ne fût bourré
Quel farceur!
Requiem pour un twister
Dites-moi étiez vous amoureuse de lui?
Le contraire m'eût étonné
Il n'est pas une femme qui lui ait résisté
Quel tombeur!
Requiem pour un twister
Dites-moi tout ça n'pouvait pas durer
Le contraire m'eût étonné
Je crois quant à moi que c'est le cœur qui a lâché
Quelle horreur!

The Return Of Abdul Abulbul Amir
The Return Of Abdul Abulbul Amir
Composer(s): Frank Crumit
Performer(s): Frank Crumit
By the sea of Sargossa I wandered one night
The moon it was shining quite clear
For no reason at all I heard someone call
For Abdul Abulbul Amir
Now Abdul Abulbul I knew to be dead
The story had spread near and far
How he lost his life while plunging his knife
Into Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
While I pondered the moonbeams descended quite low
Casting shadows suffusely, and then
I discovered that I was standing close by
The tombs of those two famous men
Then in the tombs shadows there rose from a grave
The form of a Russian Hussar
And my skin nearly peeled, as he stood there revealed
It was Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
'Twas he who was calling, I hardly dared breathe
My heart 'most stopped beating from fear
When out of a grave, in need of a shave
Arose Abdul Abulbul Amir
"Well, wouldst speak with me Ivan?", quoth Abdul quite low
"I wouldst", replied Ivan quite clear
"That quarrel we had, 'twas all to the bad
Friend Abdul Abulbul Amir"
"I've lain here for ages with that on my mind
And that's why I called you tonight"
"Well, I'm in the same state", quoth Abdul the great
"Twas foolish for we two to fight"
"Oh friend, thou art blameless", cried Ivan in haste
"The fault lies in my hands alone"
But Abdul said "Nay, 'twas never that way
The fault was no one's but mine own"
"Well, dost think I'm a coward?", quoth Ivan Skavar
"Step forth and I'll slice off thine ear"
"Oh, son of a cat, you'll never do that"
Quoth Abdul Abulbul Amir
So once more they battled and fought as before
The multitudes came from afar
And lauded with cheers these bold buccaneers
This Turk, and this Russian Hussar
The ghost of the Czar on a fiery black steed
Came rushing to witness the fray
While the Sultan sat there in his royal gold chair
It was just like a scene from a play
'Twas just at that moment each sword found its mark
And I heard a blood-curdling scream
I opened my eyes and to my surprise
I found it was only a dream

Clara Barton
Clara Barton
Performer(s): Country Joe McDonald
Every time in the world someone receives first aid
You can thank Clara Barton for the life that is saved
She lived out her life in a world ruled by men
Every time they knocked her down she got back up again
Clara Barton
Civil war veterans with tears in their eyes
Told how she braved the battle just to save their lives
She never ran from the shot and the shell
Bringing aid and comfort in the midst of hell
And even then at the war's very end
When the prisoners were lost and without friends
She helped families to find those that they loved
A professional angel sent from up above
Thank the lord for Clara Barton and long live her name
The American Red Cross is her claim to fame
When you see a Red Cross worker in a time of flood or war
Take a moment to remember... and thank the lord... for Clara Barton!

Voy buscando un amor
que quiera comprender
la alegría y el dolor
la ira y el placer
un bello amor sin un final
que olvidé para perdonar
es más fácil encontrar
rosas en el mar
Rosas en el mar
Voy buscando la razón
de tanta falsedad
La mentira es obsesión
y falsa la verdad
Qué ganarán, qué perderán
si todo esto pasará
es más fácil encontrar
rosas en el mar
Rosas en el mar
Voy pidiendo libertad
y no quería oír
Es una necesidad
para poder vivir
La libertad, la libertad
derecho de la humanidad
Es más fácil encontrar
rosas en el mar

Requiem Pour Un Fou
Requiem Pour Un Fou
Composer(s): Gérard Layani; Giles Thibaut
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday; Lara Fabian
Je vous préviens n'approchez pas
Que vous soyez flic ou badaud
Je tue celui qui fait un pas
Je ne ferai pas de cadeau
Éteignez tous vos projecteurs
Et baissez vos fusils braqués
Non, je ne vais pas m'envoler sans elle
Dites au curé, dites au pasteur
Qu'ailleurs ils aillent se faire pendre
Le diable est passé de bonne heure
Et mon âme n'est plus à vendre
Si vous me laissez cette nuit
À l'aube je vous donnerai ma vie
À quoi me servirait ma vie sans elle
Je n'étais qu'un fou mais par amour
Elle a fait de moi un fou, un fou d'amour
Mon ciel s'était ses yeux, sa bouche
Ma vie s'était son corps, son corps
Je l'aimais tant que pour la garder je l'ai tuée
Pour qu'un grand amour vive toujours
Il faut qu'il meure qu'il meure d'amour
Le jour se lève la nuit pâlit
Les chasseurs et les chiens ont faim
C'est l'heure de sonner l'hallali
La bête doit mourir ce matin
Je vais ouvrir grand les volets
Crevez-moi le cœur je suis prêt
Je veux m'endormir pour toujours près d'elle
Je n'étais qu'un fou mais par amour
Elle a fait de moi un fou, un fou d'amour
Mon ciel s'était ses yeux, sa bouche
Ma vie s'était son corps, son corps
Je l'aimais tant que pour la garder je l'ai tuée
Je ne suis qu'un fou, un fou d'amour
Un pauvre fou qui meurt
Qui meurt d'amour

Relay
Relay
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release by: The Who - 1972
You can hear it in the street
See it in the dragging feet
The word is getting out about control
Spies they're come and gone
The story travels on
The only quiet place is inside your soul
From tree to tree
From you to me
Travelling twice as fast as on any freeway
Ev'ry single dream
Is wrapped up in the scheme
They all get carried on the relay
"Pass it on"
Someone disapproves
Of what you say or do
I was asked to see what I could learn you
Don't believe your eyes
They're seeing only lies
What is done in the first place don't concern you
From tree to tree...
Relay, things are brewing
Relay, something's doin'
Relay, it's a revolution
Relay, relay
Hand me down a solution!
"Pass it on"

Écoute les orgues
Elles jouent pour toi
Il est terrible cet air-là
J'espère que tu aimes
C'est assez beau non
C'est le requiem pour un con
Je l'ai composé spécialement pour toi
À ta mémoire de scélérat
C'est un joli thème
Tu ne trouves pas, non
Semblable à toi-même
Pauvre con
Voici les orgues
Qui remettent ça
Faut qu't'apprennes par cœur cet air-là
Que tu n'aies pas même
Une hésitation
Sur le requiem pour un con
Quoi tu me regardes
Tu n'apprécies pas
Mais qu'est-ce qu'y a là-dedans
Qui t'plaît pas
Pour moi c'est idem
Que ça t'plaise ou non
J'te l'rejoue quand même
Pauvre con
Écoute les orgues
Elles jouent pour toi
Il est terrible cet air-là
J'espère que tu aimes
C'est assez beau non
C'est le requiem pour un con
Je l'ai composé spécialement pour toi
À ta mémoire de scélérat
Sur ta figure blême
Aux murs des prisons
J'inscrirai moi-même: «Pauvre con»

But how was I to bide my time
I said "Hey baby, do you want to coo, coo, coo"
She said "uh, uh, uh"
Said I'm about to overload
I said "you're what I've been livin' for"
She said "I don't want to know"

Il est mort connue du bois sec
Ça pouvait être n'importe qui
Un enfant de l'Andalousie
Ou un frère du soldat Schveik
Il est mort, la guerre est finie
On lui fait des funérailles
Chacun retourne à son travail
Il est mort et je suis en vie
Il est mort comme un feu de paille
ça s'est passé très loin d'ici
C'est loin l'Afrique et loin l'Asie
Des mercenaires et ses G.I.
Il est mort de n'avoir su vivre
Quand il fallait vivre à genoux
Noyé de sang, noyé de boue
La mort enfin l'a rendu libre
Il est mort comme du bois sec
Ça pouvait être n'importe qui
Le frère de Théodoraki
Un enfant de Zorba le Grec
Il est mort, je suis en exil
Et je meurs un peu avec lui
Chaque fois que tombe la nuit
Sur le soleil du mois d'avril
Il est mort comme du bois sec
Ça pouvait être n'importe qui
Le frère de Théodoraki
Un enfant de Zorba le Grec
Il est mort, je suis en exil
Et je meurs un peu avec lui
Chaque fois que tombe la nuit
Sur le soleil du mois d'avril
Il est mort, pitié pour ses cendres
Ce n'est ni l'heure ni l'endroit
Pour demander des comptes à rendre
Mais les mots viennent malgré moi

The Reflex
Composer(s): Roger Taylor - Simon Le Bon - John Taylor - Nick Rhodes - Andy Taylor
First release by: Duran Duran - 1983
You gone too far this time but I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around with my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when I find itanother day to make my stand
high time is no time for deciding if I should find a helping hand
so why don't you lose it try not to bruise it buy time don't lose it
the reflex is an only child he's waiting in the park
the reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
and watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark
I'm on a ride and I want to get off but they won't slow down the round about
I sold the renoir and the tv set don't want to be around when this gets out
the reflex is an only child he's waiting by the park
the reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
and watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
every little thing the reflex does is an answer with a question mark
the reflex is an only child he's waiting by the park
the reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
and watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
every little thing the reflex does leaves me answered with a question mark
oh the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards
the reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
and watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark
