Russians


Russians
Composer(s): Sergei Prokofiev; Sting
Performer(s): Sting;
and various other artists



In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the President
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie that we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me, and you
Is if the Russians love their children too

There's No Other (Like My Baby)


There's No Other (Like My Baby)
Composer(s): Leroy Bates - Phil Spector
First release by: The Crystals - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



There's a story I want you to know
'bout my baby how I love him so

There's no other like my baby no no no no
(Now I say now)
There's no other, don't mean maybe no no no no

Walkin' down the street in a crowd
Looking at my baby feeling so proud

Wo ho ho
There's no other like my baby no no no no

While at a dance, my baby by my side
He whispers to me, someday I'll be his bride

Wo ho ho
There's no other like my baby no no no no

Johnny?
No, no not like my baby
Billy?
No, not like my baby
Bobby?
He's not like my baby

I wanna tell you now
There's no other like my baby no no

Cosa Sono Le Nuvole


Cosa Sono Le Nuvole Composer(s): Domenico Modugno - P.P. Pasolini Performer(s): Domenico Modugno; Stefano Battaglia



Che io possa esser dannato
se non ti amo
e se così non fosse
non capirei più niente
tutto il mio folle amore
lo soffia il cielo
lo soffia il cielo
così

ahh ma l'erba soavemente delicata
di un profumo che da gli spasimi
ahh tu non fossi mai nata
tutto il mio folle amore
lo soffia il cielo
lo soffia il cielo
così

il derubato che sorride
ruba qualcosa al ladro
ma il derubato che piange
ruba qualcosa a se stesso
perciò io vi dico
finché sorriderò
tu non sarai perduta

ma queste son parole
e non ho mai sentito
che un cuore, un cuore affranto
si cura
l'unico e tutto il mio folle amore
lo soffia il cielo
lo soffia il cielo
così

Russian Rose


Russian Rose
Composer(s): Charles; Miller
Performer(s): Joe Loss; Donald Peers;
Monte Ray; Anne Shelton



Can’t you hear me calling, while your tears are falling
Where the river Volga flows
Though your heart is filled with pain, my lovely Russian Rose?

Now the skies are overcast but we’ll find peace at last
To live in sweet repose
Then your tears won’t be in vain, my lovely Russian Rose

Soon the day will come when you and I
Will both be free to live, to live and laugh and love forever
I will come and find you, break the chains that bind you
When the buds peep through the snow
You will surely bloom again, my lovely Russian Rose

There's No One With Endurance (Like The Man Who Sells Insurance)


There's No One With Endurance (Like The Man Who Sells Insurance)
Composer(s): Frank Crumit - Burt Curtis
Performer(s): Frank Crumit



I used to be as happy as a squirrel in a tree
Till a man who sold insurance made a nervous wreck of me
He followed me persistently and if I'm put away
That bird who sold insurance made me what I am today

For there's no one with endurance
Like the man who sells insurance
He's everybody's best friend
He will follow you and fret you
But remember he will get you
For he gets us all in the end

In spite of every way I tried to leave him in the lurch
He chased me in the subway and he followed me to church
I even spent a night in jail in my desire to hide
But in the morning George Insurance was waiting just outside

For there's no one with endurance
Like the man who sells insurance
He's everybody's best friend
He'll be sweeter than molasses
But when he puts on his glasses
He gets us all in the end

One day at Coney Island when I went in for a swim
A man swam up beside me who was no-on else but him
Said he to me "I'm glad to see you love the ocean wave
But our 20-year endowment is the only way to save"

For there's no one with endurance
Like the man who sells insurance
He's everybody's best friend
He's always bright and snappy
And no wonder that he's happy
For he gets us all in the end

One day I saw him coming so I quickly climbed a tree
But George Insurance saw me too and climbed up after me
Said he to me up in the tree: "I'm fond of nature too
But our 20-year endowment is the policy for you"

For there's no one with endurance
Like the man who sells insurance
He's everybody's best friend
And the harder that you make it
Believe me he can take it
For he gets us all in the end

Cosa Hai Messo Nel Caffè


Cosa Hai Messo Nel Caffè
Composer(s): G. Bigazzi; Riccardo Del Turco
Performer(s): Riccardo Del Turco



M'hai detto vieni su da me
l'inverno è caldo su da me
non senti il freddo che fa
in questa nostra città
Perchè non vieni su da me
saremo soli io e te
ti posso offrire un caffè
in fondo che male c'è

Ma cosa hai messo nel caffè
che ho bevuto su da te?
C'è qualche cosa di diverso
adesso in me
se c'è un veleno morirò
ma sarà dolce accanto a te
perchè l'amore che non c'era
adesso c'è

Non so neppure che giorno è
ma tutti i giorni sarò da te
è un'abitudine ormai
che non so perdere, sai

Ma cosa hai messo nel caffè
che ho bevuto su da te?
C'è qualche cosa di diverso
adesso in me
se c'è un veleno morirò
ma sarà dolce accanto a te
perchè l'amore che non c'era
adesso c'è

Stamani,amore,pensando a te
il primo fiorem'ha detto che
l'inverno ormai se ne va
ma tu rimani con me

Ma cosa hai messo nel caffè
che ho bevuto su da te?
C'è qualche cosa di diverso
adesso in me
se c'è un veleno morirò
ma sarà dolce accanto a te
perchè l'amore che non c'era
adesso c'è
Se c'è un veleno morirò
Se c'è un veleno morirò

Rush Hour


Rush Hour
Composer(s): Peter Rafelson; Jane Wiedlin
Performer(s): Jane Wiedlin



Something's coming over me
I'm so dizzy I can't see
Can't make out the forest for the trees
My heart is beating faster
Now as the traffic's slowing down
Suddenly I'm all alone with you

It's so good, baby
When you're at the wheel
I can't believe the way I feel
It's such a rush just being with you

We're driving in the rush hour
Ooh, you send me, you take me to the rush hour
Ooh, you send me, you got me in the rush hour

Feel it getting hot in here
Feel me getting close to you, Dear
Slow motion, moving you, moving me
Now your lips are touching mine
And in your eyes that certain shine
Honey, I know just where you're taking me

It's so good, baby
When you're at the wheel
I can't believe the way I feel
It's such a rush just being with you

We're driving in the rush hour
Ooh, you send me, you take me to the rush hour
Ooh, you send me, you got me in the rush hour

Oh, it's so good, baby
When you're at the wheel
I can't believe the way I feel
It's such a rush just being with you

We're driving in the rush hour
Ooh, you send me, you take me to the rush hour
Ooh, you send me, you got me in the rush hour

Ooh, you send me
Ooh, you send me
You got me in the rush hour
Ooh, you send me
We're driving in the rush hour
Ooh, you send me
You got me, you got me
Ooh, you send me
We're driving in the rush hour
Ooh, you send me
Ooh, you send me
Ooh, you send me

There's No One Quite Like Grandma


There's No One Quite Like Grandma
Composer(s): Gordon Lorenz
Performer(s): St. Winifred's School Choir



Grandma, we love you
Grandma, we do
Though you may be far away
We think of you

There's no one quite like Grandma
And I know you will agree
That she always is a friend to you
And she's a friend to me
There's no one quite like Grandma
She's there in times of need
Before it's bedtime, on her knee
To us a book she'll read

Grandma, we love you
Grandma, we do
Though you may be far away
We think of you

And one day when we're older
We'll look back and say
There's no one quite like Grandma
She has helped us on our way

Grandma, we love you
Grandma, we do
Grandma, we love you
Grandma, we do

There's no one quite like Grandma
A love we always share
At party time and Christmas too
We know that she'll be there
There's no one quite like Grandma
She always has a smile
She never hurries us along
Just stays a little while

Grandma, we love you
Grandma, we do
Though you may be far away
We think of you

And one day when we're older
We'll look back and say
There's no one quite like Grandma
She has helped us on our way

Grandma, we love you
Grandma, we do
Grandma, we love you
And we know you love us too

'Cos I Love That Rock 'N' Roll


'Cos I Love That Rock 'N' Roll
Performer(s): Cliff Richard



Where has all that rock'n'roll gone
Oh won't somebody tell me where?
'cos it used to be when I was young
That you could hear them playing it everywhere
But now it seems they're all so hooked on fashion
The music's taken second place
Everyone it seems has one obsession
To beat the others in the race
And it just don't feel right to me
No no it just don't feel right to me

'cos I love that rock'n'roll too much
And I don't wanna see it ever waving goodbye
Yeah I love that rock'n'roll too too much
And I couldn't bear to see it go by
Rock'n'roll you're too much to deny

Oh where has all that music gone
There must be some mistake
From something that was so much fun
They were burning bridges in their wake
O.k. everything has got to keep changing
I know it has to be that way
But isn't it too high a price we're paying
We're losing most of yesterday
And it just don't feel right to me

Rupture En VHS


Rupture En VHS
Composer(s): Claude Moine; P. Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



J'ai reçu ta cassette vidéo V.H.S.
Ton film est maladroit mais l'idée m'intéresse
Tu vis, tu parles
Zoom sur tes yeux pâles
Et tu me dis que la vie avec moi
N'a plus beaucoup d'intérêt
Tu dis qu'le tracking est en moi
Qu'mon fasing reviens sans arrêt
Programme pour l'amour
Codé pour toujours
Sans replay
Ton visage est sur pause
La couleur vire au mauve
Photo surexposée
Flou navrant démodé
Un court-métrage
De rupture, de naufrage
Où tu me dis que la vie avec moi
Scénario sans intérêt
Tu dis qu'le tracking est en moi
Qu'mon fasing revient sans arrêt
Dialogue de sourd
J'appuie sur "retour"
Sans regret
Un court-métrage
De rupture, de naufrage
Où tu me dis que la vie avec moi
Et tu me dis que la vie avec moi
N'a plus beaucoup d'intérêt
Tu dis qu'le tracking est en moi
Qu'mon fasing reviens sans arrêt
Tu dis qu'le tracking est en moi
Qu'mon fasing reviens sans arrêt

There's No Me Without You


There's No Me Without You
Composer(s): E. Bivins
Performer(s): Manhattans



Baby, you are my life
And without you I'm an empty shell

There's no house without a home
And there's no man who wants to be alone
There's no child without a dream
And there's no song without a meaning

That's how I know
There's no me without you
There's no me without you

There's no life without a plan
Every woman wants herself a good man
There's a heartaches without tears
And time just can't go by without the years

That's how I know
There's no me without you
There's no me without you

You know there's no stars without the night
Huh, and there's no wrong without a right
And there's no good without a bad
And when one man is happy , the other man is sad

Oh... oh... that's how I know
There's no me without you
There's no me without you
Oh... oh... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

That's how I know (That's how I know, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There's no me without you (My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my)
That's how I know (There's no house, there's no house without a home)
That's how I know (And there's no man, no man who wants to be alone)

Cortar Hasta El Hueso


Cortar Hasta El Hueso
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Sentado en medio de un sucio bar
con tiempo para reflexionar
cansado de esperar
hoy voy a cortar hasta el hueso
y más...

Latas vacías
pero dónde está el que nos guía
que abra los Cabildos
que invadan la ciudad
los portadores sanos del amor, oh no

Tira, tira, tira hermano mío
no lo dejes escapar
Dale, dale un poco más de hilo
para quien quiera remontar
y así, con un golpe
en la nuca a Dios, tal vez
caer en pos de la belleza

Viniste a un mundo
rojo y profundo
descubrirás la sed
el miedo y el refugio que da
sólo la amistad

Sentado en medio de un sucio bar
con tiempo para reflexionar
cansado de esperar
hoy voy a cortar hasta el hueso
y más, y más...

Tira, tira, tira hermano mío
no lo dejes escapar
Dale, dale un poco más de hilo
para quien quiera remontar
y así, con un golpe
en la nuca a Dios, tal vez
caer en pos de la belleza

no lo dejes escapar...
para quien quiera remontar
y así, con un golpe
en la nuca a Dios, tal vez
caer en pos de la belleza

Runs In The Family


Runs In The Family
Composer(s): Terre Roche
Performer(s): The Roches



I can't get over what I saw
And I can't change the law of averages
I'm going down
My uncle did it; my daddy did it
I'm beginning to think that it runs in the family
Oh no, runs in the family

One by one we left home
We went so far out there
Everybody got scared
My uncle did it; my daddy did it
I'm beginning to think that it runs in the family
Oh no, runs in the family

All the boys could have gone to school
All the girls were pretty enough to play the fool
Something about the danger zone
Wouldn't leave the bunch of us alone

I remember that night
It was the one I picked a fight with you
I'm holding the bag
Just like my mama did
Just like her mama did
Now there's gonna be a new kid in the family
Oh no, kid you're gonna run in the family
Oh yeah, kid you're gonna run in the family

À quoi ça sert de chercher à comprendre
Pourquoi on dit ce qu'on dit
À quoi ça sert de chercher à comprendre
Quand c'est fini c'est fini
Quand le soleil se lèvera demain
Je serai déjà loin très loin
Il faut se quitter en chemin
N'y pense plus tout est bien

À quoi ça sert de chercher la lumière
Puisqu'il n'y a rien à voir
A quoi ça sert de chercher la lumière
Je veux rester dans le noir
Tu peux toujours essayer de me dire
Ce que tu n'as jamais su me dire
Quand nous marchions main dans la main
Mais n'y pense plus tout est bien

Moi j'ai choisi la route solitaire
Pareille à celle du vent
Moi j'ai choisi la route solitaire
Qui va là-bas loin devant
Mais je voudrais qu'on se quitte bons amis
Tu aurais pu faire mieux ma foi tant pis
Le temps qu'on a passé c'était pour rien
Mais n'y pense plus tout est bien

À quoi ça sert de verser tant de larmes
Ce sont des larmes perdues
À quoi ça sert de verser tant de larmes
Je ne t'entends déjà plus
Sur mon chemin mon souvenir m'attend
On m'avait dit de toi c'n'est qu'une enfant
J'allais perdre mon âme dans tes mains
Mais n'y pense plus tout est bien

Corro El Riesgo


Corro El Riesgo
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Por el día en el peligro de olvidar
por la noche me amenaza tu recuerdo extraño
Corro el riesgo de negarme a ver el día o la noche
-corro el riesgo de querer dejarme ciego-

Esto pasa diariamente
aunque estoy acostumbrado a todo
hace mucho tiempo
demasiado tiempo

Por el día me entretengo en no pensar en ti
por la noche me acorralan el temor, los años
Corro el riesgo de empezar a imaginarme parques
-corro el riesgo de querer dormir sin tener sueño-

Esto pasa diariamente
aunque estoy acostumbrado a todo
hace mucho tiempo
demasiado tiempo

Por el día tengo miedo de no respirar
por la noche tengo miedo de quedarme quieto
Corro el riesgo de que un día se demore el alba
-corro el riesgo de que el miedo se me duerma adentro-

Esto pasa diariamente
aunque estoy acostumbrado a todo
hace mucho tiempo
demasiado tiempo

Running With The Night


Running With The Night
Composer(s): Lionel Richie; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Lionel Richie;
Ricardo Caliente; Gary Tesca Orch.



The heart of the city street was beating
Light from the neons turned the dark to day
We were too hot to think of sleeping
We had to get out before the magic got away

(Chorus)
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I, 'til the morning light
(We were running, running with the night)

You were looking so good girl, heads were turning
You and me on the town ooh, we let it all hang out
The fire was in us, we were burning
We were gonna go all the way and we never had a doubt

(Chorus)
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I, 'til the morning light
(We were running, running with the night)

We were so in love you and me
On the boulevard wild and free
Giving all we got, we laid it down
Taking every shot, we took the town

(Chorus)
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I, girl it was so right, so right
(We were running) Oh (running with the night)

Just you and I (we were running)
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I, girl it was so right (We were running)
Girl so right (running with the night)
So right ...

Ain't no use to sit and cry now darling
Wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?

It's hard to keep from thinking bout last summer
We used to be together everywhere
Remember how we walked along the sidewalk
We'd stop, I'd buy a ribbon for your hair

Ain't no use to sit and sigh now darling
And there ain't no use to sit and cryin' now
I can't help but wonder just a little
Wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?

So now I walk alone along the sidewalk
But somehow things are not the same there
I see the places that we saw together
The shop that sold the ribbons for your hair

Ain't no use to sit and sigh now darling
And there ain't no use to sit and cryin' now
I can't help but wonder just a little
Wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?

Wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?...

Corrido De Pancho Villa


Corrido De Pancho Villa
(Tradicional)
Performer(s): Victor Jara



Fui soldado de Francisco Villa
de aquel hombre de fama inmortal
que aunque estuvo sentado en la silla
no envidiara la presidencial

Ahora vivo alla por la orilla
recordando aquel tiempo inmortal
ay, ay
ahora vivo alla por la orilla
recordando a Villa alla por Parral

Yo fui uno de aquellos dorados
que con tiempo llego a ser mayor
en la lucha quedamos lisiados
defendiendo la patria y honor

Hoy recuerdo los tiempos pasados
que peleamos con el invasor
ay, ay
hoy recuerdo los tiempos pasados
de aquellos dorados que yo fui mayor

Mi caballo que tanto montaba
en Jimenez la muerte alcanzo
una bala que a mi me tocaba
a su cuerpo se le atraveso

Al morir de dolor relinchaba
por la patria la vida entrego
ay, ay
al morir de dolor relinchaba
como le lloraba cuando se murio

Pancho Villa te llevo grabado
en mi mente y en mi corazon
y aunque a veces me vi derrotado
por las fuerzas de Alvaro Obregon
siempre anduve como fiel soldado
hasta el fin de la revolucion
ay, ay
siempre anduve como fiel soldado
que tanto ha luchado al pie del cañon

There's No Living Without Your Loving


There's No Living Without Your Loving
((Italian Version: Lo Stesso Giorno La Stessa Ora (I Camaleonti) - 1966))
Composer(s): Jerry Harris - Paul Kaufman
First release by: Gene Pitney - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



There's no living without your loving, baby
I love you too much

If I can't love you till the day I die
Then baby, oh baby, what good am I?
If I can't reach out & know that you'll be there
Then this ol' world ain't spinnin' anywhere

There's no living without your loving
Without the magic of your tender touch
There's no living without your loving, baby
I love you too much

And I wouldn't want to live my life through
Knowing in my heart I never will have you
Oh, if I can't hold you & kiss you anymore
Then what on earth am I living for?

There's no living without your loving
Without the magic of your tender touch
There's no living without your loving, baby
I love you too much

Oh I love you too much
Oh much much too much
Oh baby

There's no living without your loving
Without the magic of your tender touch
There's no living without your loving, baby
I love you too much
