Then Came The Last Days Of May
Then Came The Last Days Of May
Performer(s): Blue Öyster Cult
Parched land no desert sand, sun was just a dot
And a little bit of water goes a long way, 'cause it's hot
Three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back
Of a rented ford
They couldn't know they weren't going far
Each one with the money in his pocket
Could go out and buy himself a brand new car
But they all had the money they had
Money they hoped would take them very far
The sky was bright, a traffic light, now and then a truck
And they hadn't seen a cop around all day
They brought everything they needed
bags and scales to weigh the stuff
The driver said the border's just over the bluff
It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped
In the middle of a cold and barren place
And the other guy turned and spilled
Three boys blood, did they know a trap had been lain?
They're ok the last days of may, I'll be breathing dry air
I'm leaving soon, the others are already there
You wouldn't be interested in coming along, instead of staying here
They say the west is nice this time of year

He was a handsome young Irish lad
She was a Mexican beauty
It was fiesta and I might add
Love was doing its duty
His Irish heart went bing-o when he saw the rose of Juarez
Conchita Marquita Lolita Pepita Rosita Juanita Lopez
"Oh, you’re a lovely thing-o
For me there‘s but one girl", he said
"Conchita Marquita Lolita Pepita Rosita Juanita Lopez"
Mandolins began to play
And her lips were there to kiss
As we danced I heard him say
"New Jersey was never like this!"
The bells began to ring-o
And they rode away on a mule
To prove I’m not jokin‘
If you’re in Hoboken
Drop in for a minute and you’ll
Meet Conchita Marquita Lolita Pepita Rosita Juanita O’Toole...
There’s Little Theresa, Maria, Elisa
And sure and begorry
The rest of the story is Patsy and Molly and Mike
There’s Jose and Pancho and Pedro and Sancho
To be sure when they‘re seen they‘ll be wearing the green
´Tis Tommy and Timmy and Spike
That’s right!
The bells began to ring-o
And they rode away on a mule
To prove I’m not jokin‘
If you’re in Hoboken
Drop in for a minute and you’ll
Meet Conchita Marquita Lolita Pepita Rosita Juanita O’Toole!

Roses In The Snow (Nico)
Roses In The Snow
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico
He came your way
And when he had to go
There were roses growing in the snow
Silently you'll go to the shadow of your soul
And you know that it was like this before we had to go
You will never see these lights
Glowing in your nights
Until you feel this way
With every moon it is as though you're getting closer to your soul
And then you go alone and with no fear
Then you will know
That it was like this before we had to go
And you will find that you were blind
Until you saw these lights glowing in your nights
He came your way
And when he had to go
There were roses growing in the snow
Silently you'll go to the shadow of your soul
But you know it was like this before we had to go
You will never see these lights
Glowing in your nights
If you don't know
And there are roses growing in the snow

Then (The Vogues)
Then
Performer(s): The Vogues
Then, the future looked so bright
Oh then, everything was right
But now, I walk the lonely night
Thinking of you now, and then
Then, we loved without a care
Oh then, when you were always there
But now, we're only half a pair
And I'm thinking of you now, and then
Now and then I walk alone
The streets we used to walk along
And call your name
Like I did then
Then, there was no need to sigh
Oh then, there was no need to cry
But now, I feel a need to die
Thinking of you now, and then
Now and then, I walk alone
The streets we used to walk along
And call your name
Like I did then
Then, there was no need to sigh
Oh then, there was no need to cry
But now, I feel a need to die
Thinking of you now, and then
Thinking of you now, and then

Concessions
Concessions
Composer(s): Guy Thomas
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Avant que je vous fréquente
Je vivais dans un taudis
Une espèce de soupente
Où j'entassais mon fourbi
Je veux bien ma chère Estelle
Résider dans vos maisons
Vivre dans vos grands hôtels
Ou vos manoirs à la con
Mais pas dans un' forteresse
Pour décrocher tes caresses
Avant que je sois sinoque
Affolé par vos appâts
Je vous aurais dit ton vioc
Au lieu de votre papa
Je veux bien pour vous complaire
Apprendre votre jargon
Dire Monsieur votre Père
Est bête au lieu d'un peu con
Mais j'dirai pas mes hommages
En dégrafant ton corsage
Avant que je m'amourache
De votre petit chignon
Je vivais comme un apache
Je bouffais comme un cochon
Je veux bien bergeronnette
Vous faire une concession
Me servir dans une assiette
Sur une nappe à la con
Mais j'prendrai pas des pincettes
Pour enlever ta jupette
Avant que je me dévoue
Aux travaux de Cupidon
Je menais je vous l'avoue
Une vie de patachon
Je veux bien mon églantine
Changer mes fréquentations
Mais j'userai pas mes bottines
Dans tes cocktails à la con
Je mettrai pas de jaquette
Pour soulever ta liquette
Avant que je vous connaisse
Je chopinais du rouquin
Vous buviez du vin de messe
Ou du Vichy Celestins
Je veux bien ma chère amie
Sacrifier quelques canons
Mais je veux pas d'eau rougie
Ni de tisane à la con
Je ne boirai pas d'la flotte
Pour enlever ta culotte

Roses In The Snow (Emmylou Harris)
Roses In The Snow
Composer(s): Ruth Franks
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; Curtis Burch;
Fisher & Company; Kukuruza; James Reams
I met my darlin' in the springtime
When all the flowers were in bloom
And like the flowers our love blossomed
We married in the month of June
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
We had sunshine in December
And threw our roses in the snow
Now God has taken my darlin'
And left me with a memory
A memory I will always cherish
Are these last words he said to me
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
We had sunshine in December
And threw our roses in the snow
My darlin's buried on the hillside
Where all the wild spring flowers grow
And when winter snows start fallin'
On his grave I'll place a rose
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as cold winds blow
We had sunshine in December
And threw our roses in the snow

Then (The Charlatans)
Then
Composer(s): Martin Blunt - Jon Brookes - Tim Burgess - Mark Collins - Rob Collins
Performer(s): The Charlatans
I wanna bomb your submarines
You don't do anything for me
You were sometimes hard to find
You were never safe to be with, then
You, you're nothing next to me
I'm a phenomena you see
You were sometimes hard to find
You were never safe to be with, then
Furious again, furious again
You don't do anything for me
We are a phenomena you see
You were sometimes hard to find
You were never safe to be with, then
Furious again, furious again
And you
You give it all to me
You never listen to a thing I said
You're furious, I'm glorious
You never hurt me that much

Concerto Pour Une Voix
Concerto Pour Une Voix
Composer(s): Eddy Marnay - Saint-Preux
Performer(s): Dalida; André Rieu
Chaque nuit
Quand l'oiseau de paradis fait sa ronde
J'ouvre la porte à mon amour
Et tous les deux nous voyageons loin du monde
En attendant le retour
Des premiers rayons du soleil et de l'ombre
Dans la chambre nue
Ou tous nos gestes sont un monde inconnu
Chaque nuit
Nous échangeons des colliers de promesses
Nous échangeons des anneaux d'or
Des rivières et des diamants de jeunesse
Et puis nous quittons le port
Comme des mâts sur des bateaux de tendresse
Pour mille pays
Que tu fais naître de mes mains chaque nuit
Et nos yeux
Ne trouvent pas le sommeil
Comment s'endormir quand l'arbre est en feu
Devant le soleil
Dieu, que je t'aime chaque nuit
Que tu m'aimes chaque nuit
Que la route est belle chaque nuit
Chaque nuit
Quand l'oiseau du paradis fait sa ronde
J'ouvre la porte à mon amour
Et tous les deux nous voyageons loin du monde
En attendant le retour
Des premiers rayons du soleil et de l'ombre
Dans la chambre nue
Ou tous nos gestes sont un monde inconnu
Mon amour
Je ne veux plus jamais voir le jour

Roses In The Rain
Roses In The Rain
Composer(s): Al Frisch; Fred Wise; Frankie Carle
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
We don't mind if clouds descend or if skys are gray
Let me tell you how we'll spend this lovely rainy day
When rain drops glisten, why sit and listen
Behind our window pane
Let's stroll out yonder, so we can wander
Thru roses in the rain
We'll watch the showers, that kiss the flowers
Perhaps we'll do the same
And I am hopin', your heart will open
Like roses in the rain
Won't we be a lucky girl and fella
We'll never care how dark it seems
When we're trading in an old umbrella
For a million bright new dreams
Before the rain goes, we'll look for rain-bows
That bloom in lovers lane
Till sunlight settles, upon the petals
Of roses in the rain ...

Then (Charles Aznavour)
Then
((French Version: Mais C'était Hier (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Herbert Kretzmer
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
We were happy then
Burning up the days, the kind of place will last so long
Busy making hay, every dizzy day, sung a summer song
Saying come what may, nothing could go wrong
We were hungry then
Sharing every crust, often halfway bust, often halfway poor
Close enough to touch, nothing mattered much, somehow we'd endure
We were both so young, we were both too sure
They had a glow, they had a shine
Those days of hope and cheap white wine
Suddenly one day, summer ebbed away, winter came to stay
Days are colder now
And the rain falls down on a lonesome town, sighing for the past
And I'm older now, wise enough to know, summers never last
We were both so blind, and we ran too fast
(Days would last forever then)
(Not too late for lovers then)
(Lots of time to breathe the ??? air)
But suddenly one day, summer ebbed away, winter came to stay
Days are colder now
And the rain falls down on a lonesome town, sighing for the past
And I'm older now, wise enough to know, summers never last
And that song we knew
Won't be sung again
For the song was you
And the time was then
Zondag 13 februari 1977
Concerto For Two
Concerto For Two
Composer(s): Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky; Jack Lawrence
Performer(s): Anne Shelton; Ted Heath; Claude Thornhill
And when we meet, music starts
Upon the strings of our hearts
And we don't keep to the song
For words are weak when love is strong
And when we kiss there's a sound
Like violins all around
And then the moment when
We kiss again
Our song becomes a thrilling
Concerto for two
For me and you

Roses Blue
Roses Blue
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell
I think of tears, I think of rain on shingles
I think of rain, I think of roses blue
I think of Rose, my heart begins to tremble
To see the place she's lately gotten to
Gotten to, gotten to
She's gotten to mysterious devotions
She's gotten to the zodiac and Zen
She's gotten into tarot cards and potions
She's laying her religion on her friends
On her friends, on her friends
Friends who come to ask her for their future
Friends who come to find they can't be friends
Because of signs and seasons that don't suit her
She'll prophesy your death, she won't say when
Won't say when, won't say when
When all the black cards come you cannot barter
No, when all your stars are stacked you cannot win
She'll shake her head and treat you like a martyr
It is her blackest spell she puts you in
Puts you in, puts you in
In sorrow she can lure you where she wants you
Inside your own self-pity there you swim
In sinking down to drown her voice still haunts you
And only with your laughter can you win
Can you win, can you win
You win the lasting laurels with your laughter
It reaches like an arm before you sink
To win the solitary truth you're after
You dare not ask the priestess how to think
How to think, how to think
I think of tears, I think of rain on shingles
I think of rain, I think of roses blue
I think of Rose, my heart begins to tremble
To see the place she's lately gotten to
Gotten to, gotten to

(Theme From) Valley Of The Dolls
(Theme From) Valley Of The Dolls
Composer(s): André Previn - Dory Previn
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick; King Curtis
Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride
When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name
When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
What's in back of the sky, why do we cry
Gotta get off, gonna get
Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get
Need to get on where I'm bound
When did I get, where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know, where will I
How will I learn who I am
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why?

Beyond the rim of starlight
My love is wand'ring star flight
I know he'll find in star clustered reaches

Remember, remember me

Concerto
Concerto
Composer(s): Morelli - Rossi
Performer(s): Alunni Del Sole
Da dove sei venuta, io non so
la voce del tuo cuore
sarà magicamente discesa da lassù
dal mondo dell'amore
ricordo di una notte
che non finiva mai
Concerto, di un mare senza te
che suona e ti riporta a me
Giorni sul lungomare insieme a te
bruciavi più del sole
e gli occhi tuoi nel vento come i miei
in cerca dell'amore
ombre di una pineta
e un prato per sognare
Concerto, di un mare senza te
che suona e ti riporta a me
L'estate senza fine poi finì
e si gelò il mio cuore
la terra che girava intorno a noi
si allontanò dal sole
ricordo di una notte
che non finiva mai
Concerto, di un mare senza te
che suona e ti riporta a me

Roses Are Red (My Love)
Roses Are Red (My Love)
Composer(s): Al Byron; Paul Evans
Performer(s): Bobby Vinton;
and various other artists
Roses are red, my love ... doo, doo, da, doooo ...
A long, long time ago
On graduation day
You handed me your book
I signed this way
"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you"
We dated through high school
And when the big day came
I wrote into your book
next to my name
"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you"
Then I went far away
And you found someone new
I read your letter dear
And I wrote back to you
"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But luck may god bless you
"Is that your little girl?
She looks a lot like you
Someday some boy will write
in her book, too
"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you"
