Rock & Roll


Rock & Roll
Composer(s): Lou Reed;
Sterling Morrison; Doug Yule
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground



Jenny said, when she was just five years old
There was nothin' happening at all
Every time she puts on the radio
There was nothin' goin' down at all, not at all
Then, one fine mornin', she puts on a New York station
You know, she couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started shakin' to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock 'n'roll

Despite all the imputations
You know, you could just go out
And dance to a rock'n'roll station
And it was all right, hey baby
You know, it was all right

Jenny said, when she was just about five years old
`You know, my parents are gonna be the death of us all
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars
Well, you know, ain't gonna help me at all`

Then, one fine morning, she turns on a New York station
She doesn't believe what she hears at all
Ooh, she started dancin' to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock 'n'roll
Yeah, rock 'n'roll

Despite all the computations
You could just dance to that rock 'n'roll station
And baby, it was all right, yeah
Hey, it was all right
Hey, here she comes now

Jenny said, when she was just about five years old
'Hey, you know, there's nothin' happening at all, not at all
Every time I put on the radio
You know, there's nothin' goin' down at all, not at all
But, one fine morning, she hears a New York station
She couldn't believe what she heard at all, hey, not at all
She started dancing to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock 'n'roll
Yes, rock 'n'roll

Despite all the computations
You know, you could just dance to the rock 'n'roll station

All right
All right, all right, and it was all right
Oh, listen to me now, it was all right
Come on now, believe me, it was all right
it was all right
hey, it's all right now, .......

Hmm...

We'd like to take this opportunity now to play you a little thing that
we learned from Mr. James Brown the King of soul music
Now this ain't soul music, mind you, this is rock music
But it's got soul to it, if you can dig that
And now the band would like to play a new riff they just learned
we call a sockin'-it-to-you riff
And it-uh goes something like this

Alright — are you ready boys?
Let me hear you do it one time just once c'mon
Huh! Ah that's it, do it again!

Clappin' your hands, kickin' your feet, (Rock & soul)
Jumpin' up and down oh it's so groovy, oh rock & soul, yeah

The Town I Loved So Well


The Town I Loved So Well
Composer(s): Phil Coulter - B. Martin
Performer(s): Phil Coulter



In my memory I will always see
The town that I have loved so well
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall
And we laughed through the smoke and smell
Going home in the rain running up the dark lane
Past the jail and down beside the fountain
Those were happy days in so many many ways
In the town I loved so well

In the early morn the shirt factory horn
Called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog
While the men on the dole played a mothers role
Fed the children and then trained the dog
And when times got tough, there was just about enough
But they saw it through without complaining
For deep inside was a burning pride
In the town I loved so well

There was music there in the Derry air
Like a language that we could all understand
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
as I played in a small pickup band
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
I was sad to leave it all behind me
For I'd learned about life and I'd found a wife
In the town I loved so well

But when I returned how my eyes were burned
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze
Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall
And the damned barbed wire
gets higher and higher
With their tanks and guns
Oh my God, what have they done
To the town I loved so well

Fast as I could take a choo-choo

To prove that you've been true

Way beyond the blue horizon

No one else is on your mind
So pucker up, my sweet
And meet your Waterloo

Robinson Crusoe


Robinson Crusoe
Composer(s): D. Zimmerman; G. Moroder; F. Jay
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Ich war noch ein Kind
Da gab es für mich nur einen Mann
Ich träumte von ihm
Und sah ihn als einen Helden an

Und das war Robinson Crusoe
Auf seiner Insel ganz allein
Robinson Crusoe
Ich dachte, "Herrlich, könnte ich nur bei ihm sein"

Mit siebzehn kam dann ein Freund
Und den fand ich wunderbar
Weil er so wie ich romantisch
Und voller Träume war

Wir spielten Robinson Crusoe
Abends im kleinen Park zu zwei'n
Robinson Crusoe
Und das war herrlich denn ich durfte bei ihm sein

Eines Abends hat er mich dann geküsst
Was doch gar nicht im Buch geschrieben ist
Doch dann begann erst die schönste Zeit
Denn wir lieben uns noch heut'

Dank unser'm Robinson Crusoe
Auf seiner Insel ganz allein
Robinson Crusoe
Sind wir zusammen und wir werden's immer sein
Robinson Crusoe
Sind wir zusammen und wir werden's immer sein

The Torture Never Stops


The Torture Never Stops
Composer(s): Frank Zappa
Performer(s): Frank Zappa



Flies all green and buzzin'
in this dungeon of despair
Prisoners grumble and piss their clothes
and scratch their matted hair
A tiny light, from a window hole
a hundred yards away
is all they ever gets to know
about the regular light in the day

And it stinks so bad, the stones been chokin'
and weepin' greenish drops
In the room where the giant fire puffer works
and the torture never stops

The torture never stops

Slime and rot, rats and snot
and vomit on the floor
Fifty yoogly soldiers, man
holdin' spears by the iron door
Knives and spikes, and guns and the likes
of every tool of pain
And a sinister midget, with a bucket and a mop
where the blood goes down the drain

And it stinks so bad, the stones been chokin'
and weepin' greenish drops.
In the room where the giant fire puffer works
and the torture never stops

The torture never stops
The torture... the torture...
The torture never stops

Flies all green and buzzin'
in this dungeon of despair
An evil prince eats a steaming pig
in a chamber right near there
He eats the snouts and the trotters first
The loins and the groins is soon dispersed
His carvin' style is well rehearsed
He stands and shouts

All men be cursed!
All men be cursed!
All men be cursed!
All men be cursed!

And disagree?
Well, no one durst

He's the best, of course, of all the worst
Some wrong been done, he done it first

And it stinks so bad, his bones been chokin'
and weepin' greenish drops
In the night of the iron sausage
where the torture never stops

The torture never stops
The torture... the torture...
The torture never stops

Flies all green and buzzin'
in this dungeon of despair
Who are all those people
that he's locked away down there?
Are they crazy?
Are they sainted?
Are they zeroes
someone painted?

And it's never been explained
since it first it was created
But a dungeon, like a sin
requires not but lockin' in
of everything that's ever been
Look at her
Look at him

That's what's the deal we're dealin' in
That's what's the deal we're dealin' in
That's what's the deal we're dealin' in
That's what's the deal we're dealin' in

Come The Day


Come The Day
Composer(s): Bruce Woodley
Performer(s): The Seekers; Judith Durham



I know that one day soon a song shall rise
You'll hear it with the sleep still in your eyes
You'll waken to a brand new day
Can you hear bells ringin'
Voices singin'
Far away?

A time when every man will be as one
A time to reach right out and touch the sun
Come the day
Freedom's still a thought within your mind
The fleeting thing that some may never find
It may be still a million miles away
Can you hear bells ringin'
Voices singin'
Far away?

A time to live without doubt or fear
Welcome to the happy world that will be here
Come the day
The trumpets of war will cease to blow
The sound I hope that we may never know
We're waiting for the day
Can you hear bells ringin'
Voices singin'
Far away?

Lift up your voices and sing this song
Let the whole world hear it loud and strong
Can you hear bells ringin'
Voices singin'
Far away?

Robins And Roses


Robins And Roses
Composer(s): Edgar Leslie; Joe Burke
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



Robins and roses, and maybe a tree
A few morning glories, a cottage two storeys high

Robins and roses, and your love for me
To live on forever, and my love to never die

A place where neighbours may drop in
And smile when they see
An armchair to flop in
We can add to their glee serving afternoon tea

Mid robins and roses, and then life will be
A poem by Kipling, while troubles go rippling by

Performer(s): Escamillo

Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre
Senors, senors, car avec les soldats
Oui, les toreros peuvent s'entendre
Pour plaisirs, pour plaisirs ils ont les combats!
Le cirque est plein, c'est jour de fête
Le cirque est plein du haut en bas
Les spectateurs, perdant la tete
Les spectateurs s'interpellent a grand fracas!

Apostrophes, cris et tapage
Pousses jusques a la fureur!
Car c'est la fete du courage,
C'est la fete des gens de coeuer!
Allons! en garde! Allons! Allons! ah!

Toreador, en garde, Toreador, Toreador!
Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant
Qu'un oeil noir te regarde
Et que l'amour t'attend
Toreador, L'amour t'attend!

Toreador, en garde, Toreador, Toreador!
Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant
Qu'un oeil noir te regarde
Et que l'amour t'attend
Toreador, L'amour t'attend!

Tout d'un coup, on fait silence...
Ah! que se passe-t-il?
Plus de cris, c'est l'instant!
Plus de cris, c'est l'instant!
le taureau s'elance
En bondissant hors du Toril!
Il s'elance! Il entre
Il frappe! un cheval roule
Entrainant un Picador
Ah! bravo! Toro! Hurle la foule!
Le taureau va, il vient
il vient et frappe encore!

En secouant ses banderilles
Plein de fureur, il court!
Le cirque est plein de sang!
On se sauve, on franchit les grilles!
C'et ton tour maintenant! allons!
En garde! allons! allons! Ah!

Toreador, en garde, Toreador, Toreador!
Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant
Qu'un oeil noir te regarde
Et que l'amour t'attend
Toreador, L'amour t'attend!

Toreador, en garde, Toreador, Toreador!
Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant
Qu'un oeil noir te regarde
Et que l'amour t'attend
Toreador, L'amour t'attend!

Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant

Performer(s): Rita Pavone



Come te non c'è nessuno
tu sei l'unico al mondo
nei tuoi occhi profondi io vedo
tanta tristezza

Come te non c'è nessuno
così timido e solo
se hai paura del mondo rimani
vicino a me

Amore dimmi
cosa mai posso fare per te?
I pensieri dividi con me
Io ti voglio aiutare, amore amor

Come te non c'è nessuno
è per questo che t'amo
ed in punta di piedi entrerò
nei tuoi sogni segreti

Come te non c'è nessuno
nessuno... nessuno...

Robin Qui Boit
Composer(s): Michel Saillard;
Jean-Claude Cosson; Michel Héron
Performer(s): Pit et Rik



Dans la forêt de Hollywood
Comme un ver de terre
Jean qui s'enterre, le roi Poltron
Part aux champignons (Aux champignons!)
Pour lui tailler un short en fer
C'est de la rigolade
Tout le monde est prêt pour l'embuscade
On n'attend que toi
(On n'attend que toi)
Robin qui boit, qui boit, qui boit
Dans les bars-tabac, tabac, tabac
Robin qui boit, qui boit, qui boit
Dégrise-toi!
Que s'pastis?
Robin qui boit, qui boit, qui boit
Tu as claqué ta paye du mois
Et l'embuscade, elle est pour toi!

Une p'tite dernière... pour la route et ralliez-vous à mon panaché!
Robin qui boit, qui boit, qui boit
Du Coquin, quina, quina
Robin tu as la gueule de bois!

Derrière ses murs
Le roi Biture a bouclé Mirabelle
Sa ceinture de sobriété
La prive de joie (Prive de joie!)
N'entends-tu pas au fond du bois
Ce corps qui t'appelle?
Prends ton échelle, ta pioche, ta pelle et délivre-la (délivre-la!)

Robin qui boit, qui boit, qui boit
Jamais de coca, coca, coca
Jamais de soda, soda, soda
Dégrise-toi!
Que s'pastis?
Robin qui boit, qui boit, qui boit
Au lieu de l'avoir dans tes bras
La Mirabelle, toi tu la bois!

Flute! Flute! Flute!
Je pars à la champagne
Et je dis pa ça pour me faire mousseux
hé hé hé hé hé

Robin qui boit, qui boit, qui boit
Du Coquin, quina, quina
Robin, tu as la gueule de bois

Un chevalier nommé William s'est payé ta poire
Vieillard magnaque, il a saoûlé ta pauvre mémé (Pauvre mémé!)
Pour la venger, il faut te lever
T'arracher du zinc
Arrête un peu la ribouldingue
Et va le taper (Va le taper!)

Robin qui boit, qui boit, qui boit
Dans les bars-tabac, tabac, tabac
Robin qui boit, qui boit, qui boit
Dégrise-toi!
Que s'pastis?
Robin qui boit, qui boit, qui boit
Tu ne fais plus régner ta loi
La Poire William, toi tu la bois!

J'vous ai apporté du Bourbon... hic!

Robin qui boit, qui boit, qui boit
Du Coquin, quina, quina
Robin tu as la gueule de bois!
La faute à qui
La faute à quoi
C'est la faute à Robin qui boit
Robin qui boit, qui boit, qui boit
Du Coquin, quina, quina
Robin tu as la gueule de bois!

Composer(s): Robert Smith

"I don't care"
If only I could say that
And not feel so sick and scared
"I don't care"
If only I could say that
If only my eyes would close...

"It's Jesus brilliant"
You used to laugh
"Walking these gorgeous blocks...
This top is the place
Where nobody goes
You just imagine
You just imagine it all..."

Every day I lie here
And know that it's true

All I really want is you

Please come back
Please come back
Like all the other ones do

Please come back
All of you

Come Talk To Me


Come Talk To Me
Composer(s): Peter Gabriel
Performer(s): Peter Gabriel; Jacob Moon



The wretched desert takes its form, the jackal proud and tight
In search of you, I feel my way, through the slowest heaving night
Whatever fear invents, I swear it make no sense
I reach out through the border fence
Come down, come talk to me

In the swirling, curling storm of desire unuttered words hold fast
With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes towers built to last
Darkness creeps in like a thief and offers no relief
Why are you shaking like a leaf
Come on, come talk to me

Ah please talk to me
Won't you please talk to me
We can unlock this misery
Come on, come talk to me

I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can't you show me how you feel now
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me, come talk to me

The earthly power sucks shadowed milk from sleepy tears undone
From nippled skin as smooth as silk the bugles blown as one
You lie there with your eyes half closed like there's no one there at all
There's a tension pulling on your face
Come on, come talk to me

Won't you please talk to me
If you'd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you'd only talk to me

Don't you ever change your mind
Now your future's so defined
And you act so deaf and blind
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me, come talk to me

I can imagine the moment
Breaking out through the silence
All the things that we both might say
And the heart it will not be denied
'Til we're both on the same damn side
All the barriers blown away

I said please talk to me
Won't you please come talk to me
Just like it used to be
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can you show me how you feel now
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me, come talk to me

I said please talk to me
If you'd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you'd only talk to me

Robin Hood


Robin Hood
Composer(s): Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Dick James;
and various other artists



Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men
Feared by the bad, loved by the good
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood

He called the greatest archers to a tavern on the green
They vowed to help the people of the king
They handled all the troubles on the English country scene
And still found plenty of time to sing

Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men
Feared by the bad, loved by the good
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood

He came to Sherwood Forest with a feather in his cap
A fighter never looking for a fight
His bow was always ready, and he kept his arrows sharp
He used them to fight for what was right

Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men
Feared by the bad, loved by the good
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood

With Friar Tuck and Little John they had a roguish look
They did the deed the others wouldn't dare.
He captured all the money that the evil sheriff took
And rescued many a lady fair

Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men
Feared by the bad, loved by the good
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood

To cheating and corruption, he would never, never yield
And danger was his breakfast ev'ry day
The cobler in the hamlet and the farmer in the field
Were always helping him get away

Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men
Feared by the bad, loved by the good
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood

He rode up to the palace and was cheered by ev'ryone
His Lady Marian threw him a rose
The King of England knighted him the Earl Of Huntingdon
And that's the way that the legend goes

Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men
Feared by the bad, loved by the good
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood

The Tip Of My Fingers


The Tip Of My Fingers
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
First recording/First release by: Bill Anderson - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



(I held you right on the tips of my fingers)
I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
Ah, but that was as close as I came

My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
Yielding beneath my command
I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands
But I let it slip right through my hands

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
And I should have known from the start
That it's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart

I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let you slip right through my hands
But I let you slip right through my hands
