Non Andare Più Lontano
Non Andare Più Lontano
First performance by: Claudio Villa - 1967
Amore
amore non andare più lontano
il mondo non è quello dei tuoi sogni
la gente non è come pensi tu
Amore
amore non andare più lontano
e stringimi le mani per capire
che io posso piangere per te
Al tuo paese
la terra è sempre umida di nebbia
e le persone sono tutte uguali
non hanno tanti sogni come te
io le ho guardato
non hanno neanche il pane per campare
non hanno niente ma si sanno amare
e allora sono ricche di più di te
Amore
amore non andare più lontano
il mondo non è quello dei tuoi sogni
la gente non è come pensi tu
Amore
amore non andare più lontano
e stringimi le mani per capire
che io posso piangere per te
Amore!
Amore
amore non andare più lontano
e stringimi le mani per capire
che io posso piangere per te
Amor, amor, amor!

Petit (Bernard Lavilliers)
Petit
Composer(s): Pascal Arroyo; Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Un enfant, avec un fusil trop grand
Un enfant, marche lentement, à pas hésitants
Au milieu du sang et du silence, et du silence
Un enfant, mais apparemment c'est plus un enfant
Depuis très longtemps, trop longtemps, trop longtemps
Bientôt dix ans, t'as jamais joué au voleur
Au gendarme qui a peur, à l'insouciance
Petit, tu devrais regarder les filles
Et voir dans leurs yeux qui brillent des valses lentes
Tu vois dans leurs yeux des éclairs de feux
Béton déchiré par les barbelés
Et de temps en temps du cristal de sang
Quand vas-tu mourir?
Un enfant, avec un fusil trop grand
Un enfant, mais apparemment c'est plus un enfant
Peut tuer comme un grand, comme à la guerre évidemment
Bientôt dix ans, il y a des pays tranquilles
Et des jardins dans les villes, et de l'argent
Petit, tu sais pas jouer aux billes
Tu revends des balles en cuivre, pour le moment
Tu vis au milieu des éclairs de feux
Béton déchirés par le barbelés
Et de temps en temps du cristal de sang
Quand vas-tu mourir?
Un enfant, un enfant trop vieux, un enfant trop dur
Un enfant bien évidemment peut tuer comme un grand
Et comme c'est la guerre, fait sa ronde, fait sa ronde
Et dans dix ans, si jamais y a plus l'enfer
Si jamais y a plus le fer, le feu, le sang
Petit, tu raccrocheras ton fusil
Comme un cauchemar qu'on oublie, apparemment
Petit, tu joueras peut-être au voleur
Et les gendarmes auront peur de l'insolence
Petit, tu feras danser les filles
Pour voir dans leurs yeux qui brillent des valses lentes
Mais au fond des yeux, des éclairs de feux
Béton déchiré par les barbelés
Et de temps en temps du cristal de sang
Que vas-tu devenir?

Every little thing you do
Makes me smile
And if I had my way, baby
I'd drive you up the wall
I'd take you through the pages
One by one
I don't wanna get too serious
I just like having fun
Yeah, yeah
I just like having fun
Oh, sugar
I'm living the single, single, single
Life
The single, single, single
Life
Now I don't want anybody
To get the wrong idea about me
I don't have nothing to hide
I want the world to see
Just like a car I'll drive you
Out of your mind
It's always the first step
In us having a good time
Oh, oh, oh, sugar
I'm living the single, single, single
Life
Single, single, single
Life
Single guys clap your hands
Yeah

Feels so good

Peter The Miller
Peter The Miller
(Traditional)
When Peter the Miller went unto the fair
Young Paul, very downcast, met with him there
"What's wrong?" Peter cried. "I'm in love" said Paul
"And terribly troubled I am with it all
Though the maid, she is willing and ready to wed
Yet her father's as crusty as home-made bread
And he swears that wedded we never shall be
Oh what would you do, if you were me?
What would you do, what would you do
What would you do, if you were me?"
Well said Peter the Miller, "When I were young
Such crusty old fathers could go and get hung
I'd choose a dark night, if she didn't say nay
Slip an arm round her waist and I'd up and away
I'll help 'ee, me lad, and tonight if you'd care
Why, I'll lend 'ee me trap and me old grey mare
Make off with thee lass, lad, that's what I'd do
That's what I'd do, if I were you
That's what I'd do, that's what I'd do
That's what I'd do, if I were you"
Well, when Peter the Miller got home that night
No log in the fire, in the window no light
But where could his daughter be, plague take the maid
What's this, here's a note on the table laid
"Dear Father, we thought your advice was so good
We carried it out just as soon as we could
If you ask our advice as to what you should do
Oh, we'd just make the best of it, if we were you
That's what we'd do, that's what we'd do
That's what we'd do, if we were you"

Pridi, dala ti bom cvet
Ki raste le v meni
Le zate cveti!
Pridi, dala ti bom cvet

Umrla bom zato
Da v tebi se rodim
Ljubi moj
Pridi, dala ti bom cvet
Cvetela sem zate
Utrgati smeš me le ti

Peter The Meter Reader
Peter The Meter Reader
Composer(s): Don Bearman; Meri Wilson
Performer(s): Meri Wilson
Here we go again!
I was lyin' on my back porch, just a-gettin' some sun
Had my hair done up in pigtails, had my swimmin' suit on
I was just about asleep when there came a shadow over me
I opened up my eyes to peek and what did I see-eee-eee
There was a man, what a man, lookin' down over me
Tall, dark and handsome, six-foot-three
There was a look in his eye that was tellin' me
You knew there was somethin' that he wanted to see
He said, "Hi! My name's Peter
And I'm here to read your meter
I'd like to see your kilowatts
Could you take me to your box"
I didn't have the slightest notion where that box could be
But I said to Peter, "Won't you follow me"
We went upstairs, downstairs, inside and out
I just loved having Peter follow me about
He said, "Hey, what's with ya pops
Can't you take me to your box
I came here to see your meter
They call me Peter the meter reader"
By the time he found my meter it was quarter-past-four
And he said to watch my heater as he was walkin' through my door
Ev'ry single kilowatt was lookin' just fine
And he'd be comin' back to see them in another month's ti-i-i-ime
So now I'm waitin', yes I'm waitin' so patiently
To have my sweet, sweet Peter read my meter for me
But maybe I should tell you so you'll understand
That Peter used to be my telephone man
Singin' hey-lolly-lolly, hey-lolly-lolly
Hey lolly-lolly, get it anyway you can
Hah-hah-hah, oh, I never done anything like this before
Well!

Single Is Better Than Wrong
Single Is Better Than Wrong
Composer(s): Moore; Feller
Performer(s): Tommy Leonetti
When I'm weary of dreamin' alone
I remember the girls I've known
But I say when the feelin' grows strong
Ah well, single is better than wrong
When I think of the life I've missed
And remember the lips I've kissed
When I long just to feel I belong
I say, single is better than wrong
Love is such a gamble
I've seen them win and lose
And I'm not takin' any chances
On a lifetime with the blues
Now I face ev'ry night with a sigh
As I watch all the lovers go by
Tell me why should I envy the throng
If single is better than wrong

That he's hiding ev'rywhere

Pete
Pete
Composer(s): Lanny Grey
Performer(s): Doris Day; Dinah Washington
I've got a man, his name is Pete
He's awfully good and oh, so sweet
He's not the kind that you usually meet
He loves me so and I love Pete
A gal that I know loves a boy named Jim
Though he treats her mean she still loves him
And Sally loves Joe who's the kind that'll cheat
Some men are like that, but not my Pete
He never beats me, never mistreats me
He never teases, he only pleases
I take my troubles with a grain of salt
'Cause I've got a man without a fault
I put him on trial, he passed every test
Whatever he does, he does his best
I've got no complaints and my life is complete
'Cause I've got a man whose name is Pete
He never beats me, never mistreats me
He never teases, he only pleases
I take my troubles with a grain of salt
'Cause I've got a man without a fault
I put him on trial, he passed every test
Whatever he does, he does his best
I've got no complaints and my life is complete
'Cause I've got a man, what a man
His name is Pete

Single Girl
Single Girl
Performer(s): The Manhattan Transfer
When I was single
the life I led was mine
Thought that when I married
I'd be happy al the time
Lord I wish I was
A single girl again
Lord I wish I was
A single girl again
When I was a single girl
The boys all courted me
I would move from man to man
Just like a honeybee
Single girls are free to roam
Wherever love is found
Now that I am married, Lord
You know I can't get to town - no no
Lord I wish I was
A single girl again
Lord I wish I was
A single girl again
First he said he loved me
And now he treats me like a slave
The burden of this married life
I carry to my grave
Lord I wish I was
A single girl again
Lord I wish I was
A single girl again
(Repeat 3 times)

Pétalo De Sal
Pétalo De Sal
Composer(s): Fito Paez
Performer(s): Fito Paez
Furioso pétalo de sal
la misma calle el mismo bar
nada te importa en la ciudad si nadie espera
ella se vuelve carmesí, no se si es Baires o Madrid
nada te importa en la ciudad si nadie espera
y no es tan trágico mi amor, es este sueño es este sol
que ayer pareció tan extraño
o al menos tus labios
yo te entiendo bien, es como hablarle a la pared
y tu podrías darme fe
...y te imagino dando vueltas en el vecindario
algo tienen estos años que me hacen poner así
y decirte que te extraño
y voy a hacerte feliz

The Single Girl
The Single Girl
(French Version: Je Suis Une Fille Toute Seule - 1968)
Composer(s): Martha Sharpe
First release by: Sandy Posey - 1967
A single girl all alone in a great big town
The single girl gets so tired of love letting her down
Life's unreal and the people are phoney
And the nights can get so lonely
The single girl needs a sweet loving man to lean on
I'm a single girl, wondering if love could be a passing me by
I'm a single girl, and I know all about men and their lies
Nobody loves me, cause nobody knows me
And nobody takes the time to go slowly
The single girl needs a sweet loving man to lean on
I lie awake, got up late
There's rent, I gotta pay
I need a nightime love
To get me through the day
I'm a single girl, all alone in a great big town
I'm a single girl, and I get so tired of love letting me down
But there's a man I'm yet to know
Waiting somewhere I'm yet to go
Someday I'll have, a sweet loving man to lean on
The single girl needs a sweet loving man to lean on
The single girl needs a sweet loving man to lean on ...

Dukkemann
Dukkemann
Composer(s): Tor Hultin - Ola B. Johannessen
First performance by: Kirsti Sparboe - 1967
Det var en søt liten dukkemann
en så fri og freidig og glad
Han lo av de andre små dukker, han
å ja
For denne særegne dukkemann
tenk, han var skarpsindig som få
Han sa at de henger jo alle mann
i tråd
Han lo av de dumme små dukker som danset
på ordre fra noe de ikke forstod
Han lo så han hikstet, men plutselig stanset
han opp, for hans tråd den ble klippet i to
Og se vår særegne dukkemann
han forstod: Hvis dansen skal gå
da må man nok sprelle som alle mann
i tråd
Han lo av de dumme små dukker som danset
på ordre fra noe de ikke forstod
Han lo så han hikstet, men plutselig stanset
han opp, for hans tråd den ble klippet i to
Så ble vår særegne dukkemann
uten liv og måtte forstå
en tråd har en snelle
så hvis man vil telle
da må man nok sprelle
som alle mann
i tråd

Pet Sematary
Pet Sematary
Composer(s): Dee Dee Ramone; Daniel Rey
Performer(s): The Ramones;
and various other artists
Under the arc of a weather stain boards
Ancient goblins, and warlords
Come out of the ground, not making a sound
The smell of death is all around
And the night when the cold wind blows
No one cares, nobody knows
[Chorus]
I don't want to be buried in a pet sematary
I don't want to live my life again
I don't want to be buried in a pet sematary
I don't want to live my life again
Follow Victor to the sacred place
This ain't a dream, I can't escape
Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones
Spirits moaning among the tombstones
And the night, when the moon is bright
Someone cries, something ain't right
The moon is full, the air is still
All of a sudden I feel a chill
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away
Skeletons dance, I curse this day
And the night when the wolves cry out
Listen close and you can hear me shout

If I Could Sing You A Rainbow
I'd Leave Out The Rainy Day
And With Colors For My Feelin's
And Things I Want To Say To You
If I Could Make A Blue Sky Out Of The Clouds Of Grey

And Still All I Can Say Is
How Would You Love Me
If I Should Sing You A Rainbow?
If I Could Sing You A Rainbow
No Need To Bring You Flowers
I Think You'd Understand From The Minutes And The Hours
That We Were Together
And I'm Singing You A Rainbow
I Could Simply Say I Love You Too
And That Won't Do
I Can Take Your Hand And Hope That You Would Understand
If I Could Sing You A Rainbow
I'd Leave Out The Rainy Day
And With Colors For My Feelin's
And Things I Want To Say To You
If I Could Make A Blue Sky Out Of The Clouds Of Grey
I'd Give You A Golden Sunset
And Still All I Can Say Is
How Would You Love Me

Pesce Veloce Del Baltico
Pesce Veloce Del Baltico
Composer(s): Paolo Conte
Performer(s): Paolo Conte
Vecchi i cristalli tintinnano
nel trasandato hotel
luci sinistre han le musiche
non è il "Guglielmo Tell"
la radio situata nel angolo
di semioscurità
sembra una pagoda mongola
dell'infelicità
Da-dam, da-dam, da-dam, ...
Viaggiatori di commercio
rifuggiatisi quassù
piccioni dalle ali bagnate
la pioggia sedia e non smette più
guardano a turno il telefono
sempre impassibilie
il loro tempo si sbriciola
sembra passabile
Da-dam, da-dam, da-dam, ...
Uno dalla scala a chiocciola
scende da basso e sta
fermo sul legno che scrichiola
per la sua vetustà
sì, venditori vecchi
incantatori, suggestionatori
la strada fatta là fuori
è stata percorsa già
Da-dam, da-dam, da-dam, ...
"Pesce Veloce del Baltico"
dice il menu che contorno han
torta di mais e poi servono
polenta e baccalà
cucina povera e umile
fatta d'ingenuità
caduta nel gorgo perfido
della celebrità
della celebrità
Da-dam, da-dam, da-dam, ...
