So Bad
So Bad
Composer(s): Nina Hagen; Olle Romo; Dave Stewart
Performer(s): Nina Hagen
I can be so strong
Like a lion on a mission
I can do no wrong
I can fight day and night
That's my decision!
Because the world is...
(So bad) Like diet soda
(So bad) I'm counting 37 wars
(So bad) User friendly
(So bad) We lost the singer of the Doors
(So bad) The U.F.O. conspiracy
(So bad) Starvation and depressy
(So bad) Hiroshima Tomsk Tschernobyl
(So bad) It's never gonna heal
I can be so good
Like a goddess
Plus, I'm modest
I...I have no fear
I will go all the way
I can show you how to pray
Because the world is...
(So bad) Deadly chemotherapy
(So bad) The lies about HIV
(So bad) We've lost ou rlast chance
(So bad) And we're all dancing Shiva's dance
(So bad) Genetic obsession
(So bad) Misused atomic energy
(So bad) Surprise, surprise, the culture industry
(So bad) Helmut Kohl!
You can do no wrong
If you fight on my side
If you make that decision
Because the world is...
(So bad) I.R.A. and R.A.F.
(So bad) Are we really blind and deaf
(So bad) The Yogoslavian rape
(So bad) And no-one can escape
(So bad) The Nazi lunacy
(So bad) Artificial extasy
(So bad) I hate my T.V.
So bad..bad...bad...

Feuer
Feuer
First performance by: Ireen Sheer - 1978
Ich lass' mich nie von den Männer dressier'n
Hab' ich geschworen
Was sie auch reden, es macht mich nicht heiß
Ich lass' sie schmoren
Doch da kam einer, der sagte mir dann
Willst Du denn leben als "Rühr-mich-nicht-an"
Denkst Du denn nie daran
Feuer, Feuer brennt nicht nur im Kamin
Feuer, Feuer brennt doch auch in mir drin
Und es wird heißer und heißer durch Deine Liebe
Feuer, Feuer, dem kann keiner entflieh'n
Feuer, Feuer gibt dem Leben erst Sinn
Lauf' nicht davon, wenn Du fühlst es ist da
Du bist gar nicht in Gefahr
Wenn ich mir heut' auch die Finger verbrenn
Es tut mir gar nicht leid
Ist Treue gefährlich ich denke daran
Mal bei Gelegenheit
Heut' will ich's wissen, es ist sonderbar
Morgen werd' ich nicht mehr sein wie ich war
Und das machst Du mir klar
Feuer, Feuer brennt nicht nur im Kamin
Feuer, Feuer brennt doch auch in mir drin
Und es wird heißer und heißer durch Deine Liebe
Feuer, Feuer, dem kann keiner entflieh'n
Feuer, Feuer gibt dem Leben erst Sinn
Lauf' nicht davon, wenn Du fühlst es ist da
Du bist gar nicht in Gefahr

Poppy
Poppy
Composer(s): R.E. Broughton
Performer(s): Edgar Broughton Band
I laid on a poppy, it laid on me
A lot of thinkin', an' did it all for free
I thought of you, I thought of you
I wanted to swim in the river
But I saw what they had done
All the fish are dyin' in there
And we ain't got no sun
I thought of you, I thought of you
I wandered in a meadow
All that rubbish there
Look at them at the plastic picnic
Talkin' bout the length of my hair
I thought of you, I thought of you
I laid on a poppy, it laid on me
A lot of thinking, an' did it all for free
I thought of you, I thought of you
I'm gonna take a walk in the country
Take a look at that big blue sky
Take a breath of that clean spring air
Before they say die
I thought of you, I thought of you

Poppa Piccolino
Poppa Piccolino
Italian Title: Papaveri E Papere
Composer(s): Vittorio Mascheroni; Bob Musel;
Mario Panzeri; Giuseppe Rastelli
Performer(s): Diana Decker;
and various other artists
All over Italy they know his concertina
Poppa Piccolino, Poppa Piccolino
He plays so prettily to every signorina
Poppa Piccolino from sunny Italy
Oh listen to the music I hear
Oh Poppa Piccolino is near
To win a smile or maybe a tear
Before travelling on
A vagabond who wanders along
A millionaire, but only in song
As though the world
Might really belong to him
This fellow plays a melody so mellow
That everyone keeps shouting "Bello, Bello"
All over Italy they know his concertina
Poppa Piccolino, Poppa Piccolino
He plays so prettily to every signorina
Poppa Piccolino from sunny Italy
No matter what the calendars show
It can't be spring, and I ought to know
Until I hear him singing "'allo, `allo I'm here again"
A flower in his battered old hat
And a smile for every doggie and cat
And children get the friendliest pat of all
I'll give his name so if you ever meet him
Then you will know exactly how to greet him
All over Italy they know his concertina
Poppa Piccolino, Poppa Piccolino,
He plays so prettily to every signorina
Poppa Piccolino from sunny Italy
Everybody loves Poppa Piccolino
He has the cutest little monkey to collect the lira
But one day Poppa Piccolino was very sad
He lost his concertina, and he couldn't find it anywhere
and there was no music, and everyone was very unhappy
But the little monkey found it for him and gave it back to Poppa Piccolino
and now everybody is happy again
All over Italy they know his concertina
Poppa Piccolino, Poppa Piccolino
He plays so prettily to every signorina
Poppa Piccolino from sunny Italy
Sunny Italy, Sunny Italy

'T Is O.K.
'T Is O.K.
Composer(s): George Kooymans; Eddy Ouwens; Tom Bos
First performance by: Harmony - 1978
Denk je "ik kan er niet meer tegen"
Al die problemen elke dag
Zie je geen zon, maar storm en regen
Is er alleen maar tegenslag
Dan is hier een vrolijk liedje
Voor een probleem het medicijn
Zing 't eens mee, want dan geniet je
Weg met je zorgen, voel je fijn
't Is ok, zing die melodie
Blij en in harmonie
Leef met wat sympathie
Voor mensen om je heen
't Is ok, zing die melodie
Blij, en in harmonie
Streef naar wat sympathie
Dan ben je nooit alleen
Heb je geen cent om iets te kopen
Komen je dromen nooit 'ns uit
En heb je zin om weg te lopen
Neem dan meteen een goed besluit
Kijk om je heen, zie andere mensen
Kijk naar jezelf en zie gelijk
Er is niet eens zo veel te wensen
Als je gezond bent, ben je rijk
't Is ok, zing die melodie
Blij en in harmonie
Leef met wat sympathie
Voor mensen om je heen
't Is ok, zing die melodie
Blij, en in harmonie
Streef naar wat sympathie
Dan ben je nooit alleen

L'amour Ça Fait Chanter La Vie
L'amour Ça Fait Chanter La Vie
First performance by: Jean Vallée - 1978
L'amour ça vous met dans le coeur
Des crayons de couleurs
Pour dessiner le monde
L'amour on devient musicien
De vrais petits Chopin
Rien que pour une blonde
L'amour c'est tellement fantastique
Ça met le bonheur en musique
Ça rit de toute sa symphonie
L'amour ça fait changer la vie
L'amour ça vous met dans les yeux
Un regard fabuleux
Qui vous change un visage
L'amour ça vous donne des ailes
Pour monter dans le ciel
Jusqu'au septième étage
L'amour c'est tellement fantastique
Ça met le bonheur en musique
Ça rit de toute sa symphonie
L'amour ça fait changer la vie
L'amour c'est un grand magicien
Qui vous change un chagrin
En moins d'une seconde
L'amour en un mot comme en cent
Ça vous donne vingt ans
Dans tous les coins du monde
L'amour c'est tellement fantastique
Ça met le bonheur en musique
Ça rit de toute sa symphonie
L'amour ça fait chanter la vie
La vie!

What's the matter with your life

Show me a boy who stays in school
And I'll show U a boy aware!

When the fire blows

Snowflakes And Teardrops
Composer(s): Bob Feldman; Jerry Goldstein; Richard Gottehrer
Performer(s): The Angels
Snowflakes and teardrops and
Heartaches that won't stop
Because he went away
My winter's here to stay
And I'm alone
(Snow falling outside and tears falling inside)
I just can't help but cry
While snowflakes fill the sky
I keep wishing he were here with me
Outside there's a winter wonderland
Kids are laughing having fun
While inside I'm having none
Since my one and only one has left me
Snowflakes and teardrops and
heartaches that won't stop
uuuhhh uuuuhhh uuuhhh uuuuhhh
uuuhhh uuuuhhh uuuhhh uuuuhhh
uuuhhh uuuuhhh
Outside there's a winter wonderland
Kids are laughing having fun
I'm inside and having none
Since my one and only one has left me
Snowflakes and teardrops and
Heartaches that won't stop
Because he went away my winter's here to stay
And I'm alone
Yes I'm alone, so all alone
uuuuhhh, uuuuhhh ah uuuuhhhh

Pop Hates The Beatles
Pop Hates The Beatles
Composer(s): Lou Busch; Richard M. Sherman; Robert B. Sherman
Performer(s): Allan Sherman
My daughter needs a new phonograph
She wore out all the needles
Besides, I broke the old one in half
I hate the Beatles
She says they have a Liverpool beat
She says they used to play there
Four nice kids from offa the street
Why didn't they stay there?
What is all the screaming about?
Fainting and swooning
Sounds to me like their guitars
Could use a little tuning
The boys are from the British Empire
The British think they're keen
If that is what the British desire
God Save The Queen
No daughter of mine can push me around
In my house I'm the master
But when the British come to town
Gad, what a disaster
Little girls in sneakers and jeans
Destroyed the territory
'Twas like some of the gorier scenes
From The West Side Story
Of course my daughter had to go there
The tickets are cheap, she hollers
I was able to pick up a pair
For forty-seven dollars
When the Beatles come on the stage
They scream and shriek and cheer them
Now I know why they're such a rage
It's impossibe to hear them
Ringo is the one with the drum
The others all play with him
It shows you what a boy can become
Without a sense of rhythm
There's Beatle books and T-shirts and rings
And one thing and another
To buy my daughter all of these things
I had to sell her brother
Back in 1776
We fought the British then, folks
Parents of America
It's time to do it again, folks
When they come back, here's how we'll begin
We'll throw 'em in Boston harbor
But please, before we toss 'em all in
Let's take 'em to a barber

Vivre
Composer(s): Alain Morisod; Pierre Alain
First performance by: Carole Vinci - 1978
Pourquoi ne pas croire à la belle histoire
Qui fait chanter le cœur et les saisons?
Je veux tout oublier dans tes bras
Et tout recommencer avec toi
Partager les couleurs et les chansons
Pourquoi ne pas suivre cette belle histoire?
Pourquoi ne pas sourire au nouveau jour?
Nous nous évaderons, mon amour
Et nous retrouverons la chanson
Que nous vivrons enfin à l'unisson
Vivre, nous allons vivre un million de bonheurs
Pour traverser les heures comme des oiseaux libres
Vivre, je veux le vivre, ce rêve musical
Pour cueillir les étoiles de l'amour
Pourquoi ne pas croire à la belle histoire
Qui fait chanter le cœur et le printemps?
Ma vie a commencé avec toi
Le soleil s'est levé dans la joie
Tu m'as fait retrouver mon cœur d'enfant
Vivre, je veux le vivre, ce rêve musical
Pour cueillir les étoiles de l'amour
Vivre, nous allons vivre
Et renverser les heures
Pour cueillir les étoiles du bonheur

Pop A Top
Composer(s): Nat Stuckey
Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown;
and various other artists
Pop a top again
I just got time for one more round
Sit em up my friends
Then I'll be gone
Then you can let some other fool sit down
I'd like for you'd to listen to a joke I heard today
From a woman who said she was through and calmly walked away
I'd tried to smile and did a while it felt so outta place
Did you ever hear of a clown with tears drops streaming down his face
Pop a top again
I think I'll have another round
Sit em up my friend
Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down
Home for me is misery and here I am wasting time
Cause a row of fools on a row of stools is not what's on my mind
But then you see her leaving me it's not what I perfer
So it's either here just drinking beer or at home remembering her
Pop a top again
I think I'll have another round
Sit em up my friend
Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down
Pop a top again

Snowblind Friend
Snowblind Friend
Composer(s): Hoyt Axton
First release by: Hoyt Axton - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
Lyin' on the pavement with a misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
He only had a dollar to live on 'til next Monday
But he spent it on some comfort for his mind
Did you say you think he's blind?
Someone should call his parents, a sister or a brother
And they'll come to take him back home on a bus
But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
Yeah he'll always be another one of us
He said he wanted Heaven but prayin' was too slow
So he bought a one way ticket on an airline made of snow
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low

I'd lay my head on the railroad tracks
And wait for the Double E
But the railroad don't run no more
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood
I ain't naming names
She really worked me over good
She was just like Jesse James
She really worked me over good
She was a credit to her gender
She put me through some changes, Lord
Sort of like a Waring blender
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
Well, I met a girl at the Rainbow bar
She asked me if I'd beat her
She took me back to the Hyatt House
I don't want to talk about it
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
