Pure Jam


Pure Jam
Composer(s): Peter Barakan; Yukihiro Takahashi
Performer(s): Yellow Magic Orchestra



This must be the ugliest piece of bread
I've ever eaten
Wrapped in a foil-like substance
It's an unidentified object
Shapelessly square
God it's so ugly
(Jam desho)
I wonder why
Maybe the answer lies
(Sore jam desho, dozo)
In the thickness or the size

Le bleu te va bien
C'est le bleu de tes yeux des jours heureux
Le bleu des nuits de juin
Le bleu des nuits de juin

Chanson bleue qui me tombe du ciel
Quand il pleut fait comme un arc-en-ciel
La couleur dépend de l'heure
Elle dépend surtout de toi
Selon que tu viens, selon que tu t'en vas
L'amour est bleu ou pas

Oui chante-la elle est pour toi
Le bleu te va bien
C'est le bleu de tes yeux des jours heureux
Le bleu des nuits de juin

Pure Imagination


Pure Imagination
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Anthony Newley
Performer(s): Michael Feinstein;
and various other artists



Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin with a spin
Trav'ling in the world of my creation
What we'll see will defy
Explanation

{Refrain}
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world, there's nothing to it

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

{Refrain)

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

Hobo's Lullaby


Hobo's Lullaby
Composer(s): Goebel Reeves
Performer(s): Goebel Reeves
and multiple other artists



Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rail humming
That's the hobo's lullaby

Do not think about tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
Safe from all the wind and snow

I know your clothes are torn and ragged
And your hair is turning grey
Lift your face and smile at trouble
You'll find peace and rest some day

I know the police cause you trouble
They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to heaven
You won't find no policemen there

Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rail humming
That's the hobo's lullaby

Pure And Simple


Pure And Simple
Performer(s): Andy Gibb



Wherever you go
Whatever you do
It's pure and simple
I'll be there for you
You've been saying that I'm driving you crazy
And I haven't been around for you lately
But I've had a few things on my mind

When I'm with you I am filled with emotion
Can't you see I'm giving you devotion
And a love like this is hard to find

I know I've been walking around in a daze(baby baby)
You gotta believe me when I say
ooh ooh

Wherever you go (I'll always be there)
Whatever you do (I know I'm gonna be there)
It's pure and simple
I'll be there for you
What ever it takes
I swear it's true
It's pure and simple
I'll be there for you

I've been there through the stormiest weather
Always trying to make things a bit better
And I know I've gotta try to get it through to you

You can love me in a way like no other
But the situation's taking you under
So you gotta tell me now whatcha wanna doooo

Wherever you go (I'll always be there)
Whatever you do (I know 'm gonna be there)
It's pure and simple
I'll be there for you
Whatever it takes
I swear it's true
It's pure and simple
I'll be there for you

I'll always be there for you baby
You know that I'll always be around (I'm gonna be there)
Oh yeh (you know I'm gonna be there)

I'll always be there for you honey
You know I'll never let you down
ooh ooo

Cuz you're the only one for me
Yeh yeh yeh

It's pure and simple

Wherever you go (I'll always be there)
Whatever you do (I know i'm gonna be there)
It's pure and simple
I'll be there for you

No One's Gonna Hurt You Anymore
Composer(s): Steve Karliski - Ted Cooper
Performer(s): Bill Anderson and multiple other artists



You've cried the last tear you're gonna cry
You've kissed your last lips that cheat and lie
Forget him baby he's just not worth hurtin' for
Your heartache's over it's all gone
I'll make you happy from now on
And no one's gonna hurt you anymore

You've been mistreated, neglected and cheated
Out of the love you should've had
But give me a while and I'll make you smile
for the times he's made you sad
You've cried the last tear you're gonna cry
You've kissed your last lips that cheat and lie

Baby, no one's gonna hurt you anymore
Don't be afraid, darling, come to me
Cling to me and I'll kiss away all of your tears

Here in my arms you'll be safe from harm
Now and for all the coming years
Your heartache's over it's all gone
I'll make you happy from now on

No one's gonna hurt you anymore
Baby, no one's gonna hurt you anymore...

The Purple People Eater


The Purple People Eater
Composer(s): Sheb Wooley
First release by: Sheb Wooley - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1958 - Croque-Crane-Creux (Gabriel Dalar)
1960 - Lille Lilla Lemmedasker (Lily Broberg)



Well I saw the thing comin out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"
It looks like a purple eater to me

It was a one eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater
One eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater
A one eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me {one eye}

Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mr. purple people eater, don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough

It was a one eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater
One eyed, one horned flyin' purple people eater
One eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me {one horn}

I said Mr. purple people eater, what's your line?
He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
We wear short shorts
flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me

And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum lum boom

Well bless my soul flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
I like short shorts
flyin' little people eater
Sure looks strange to me purple people

Then he went on his way, and then what do you know?
I saw him last night on a tv show
He was blowing it out, a really knockin' them dead
playin' rock and roll music through the horn on his head

Won't It Ever Be Morning


Won't It Ever Be Morning
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson



Won`t it ever be morning
Won`t the dawn ever break
Won`t it ever quit hurtin`
How much can I take?

A man could go crazy
In the shape that I`m in
I love you and miss you so much
Won`t it ever be morning again?

It`s barely twelve o`clock
But I`ve already spent a lifetime
Just sittin` here and wishin` it
Was any time but nighttime.

Outside the winds are moanin` low
And I just heard it thunder
Your picture on the wall just laughed at me
And I just wonder.

Won`t it ever be morning
Won`t the dawn ever break
Won`t it ever quit hurtin`
How much can I take?

A man could go crazy
In the shape that I`m in
I love you and miss you so much
Won`t it ever be morning again?

I love you and miss you so much
Won`t it ever be morning again?...

Puppy Love


Puppy Love
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka



And they called it puppy love
Oh I guess they’ll never know
How a young heart really feels
And why I love her so

And they called it puppy love
Just because we’re seventeen
Tell them all it isn’t fair
To take away my only dream

I cry each night these tears for you
My tears are all in vein
Oh I’ll hope and I’ll pray that may be some day
You’ll be back in my arms once again

Someone help me, help me please
Is the answer up above
How can I ever tell them
This is not a puppy love

Someone help me, help me please
Is the answer up above
How can I ever tell them
This is not a puppy love

Song On The Sand


Song On The Sand
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
Performer(s): Elisabeth Welch



Do you recall that beach we walked along that afternoon in fall
That afternoon we met?
A fellow with a concertina sang… what was the song?
It is strange what we recall and how what we forget

I heard la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da as we walked on the sand
La-da-da-da – I believe it was early September
Through the crash of the waves I could tell that the words were romantic
Something about ‘sharing’, something about ‘always’
Though the years race along, I still think of our song of the sand
And I still try and search for the words I can barely remember
Though the time tumbles by, there is one thing that I am forever certain of
I hear la-da-da-da-da
And I am young and in love

Da-da-da, da-da-da, as we walked on the sand
I heard

La-da-da-da – I believe it was early September
Through the crash of the waves I could tell that the words were romantic
Something about ‘sharing’, something about ‘always’
Though the years race along, I still think of our song of the sand
And I still try and search for the words I can barely remember
Though the time tumbles by, there is one thing that I am forever certain of
I hear la-da-da-da-da
And I am young and in love

Puppet On A String


Puppet On A String (Danish Version: Lille Marionet - 1967) Composer(s): William Wylie MacPherson Martin; Phil Coulter First release by: Sandie Shaw - 1967



I wonder if one day that
You'll say that you care
If you say you love me madly
I'll gladly be there
Like a puppet on a string

Love is just like a merry-go-round
With all the fun of the fair
One day I'm feeling down on the ground
Then I'm up in the air
Are you leading me on?
Tomorrow, will you be gone?

I wonder if one day that
You'll say that you care
If you say you love me madly
I'll gladly be there
Like a puppet on a string

I may win on the roundabouts
But then I'll lose on the swings
In or out, there is never a doubt
Just who's pulling the strings
I'm so tied up in you
But where's it leading me to?

I wonder if one day that
You'll say that you care
If you say you love me madly
I'll gladly be there
Like a puppet on a string

I wonder if one day that
You'll say that you care
If you say you love me madly
I'll gladly be there
Like a puppet on a string

Like a puppet on a...
...string

Je Suis Un Vrai Garçon


Je Suis Un Vrai Garçon
First performance by: Nina Morato - 1994



Je peux pas

J'veux pas, j'peux pas
Laisse-moi
J'veux pas, j'peux pas
J'ai pas
Lâche-moi

J'veux pas rentrer chez moi
Il n'est plus rien pour moi
Mais j'peux pas tout lui dire
J'veux pas lui mentir
Je sais j'suis son amour
Forcément y'a des jours
Où c'est lourd
C'est lourd

Je suis un vrai garçon
Je suis un vrai garçon
Je suis celle qui t'ensorcelle
Elle...

J'vais pas rentrer chez moi
Lui raconter pourquoi
Pourquoi j'aurais pas dû
Et comment j'ai pu
Je sais j'suis son amour
Forcément y'a des jours
Où c'est lourd
C'est lourd

Je suis un vrai garçon
Je suis un vrai garçon
Je suis celle qui t'ensorcelle
Elle...

Je suis un vrai garçon

J'peux plus rentrer chez moi
J'ai pas d'explication
C'est un autre qui m'a perdu ma raison
Je sais j'suis son amour
Mais putain y'a des jours
Où c'est lourd
C'est lourd

Je suis un vrai garçon
Je suis un...
C'est lourd
Je suis un vrai garçon

Je suis un vrai...
C'est moi

Song On The Radio


Song On The Radio
Composer(s): Al Stewart
Performer(s): Al Stewart



I was making my way through the wasteland
The road into town passes through
I was changing the radio stations
With my mind on you
Oh your friends call you "Lily Paloma"
But that's not the way that you are
It's too much of a gentle misnomer
For a shooting star

But you and me baby
I saw you there
Straight away I knew
There's really no hiding
I'll tell you right now
What we're gonna do
We'll go collecting the days
Putting the moments away
You're on my mind like a
Song on the Radio

I remember the first time I saw you
Alone in the dark with a drink
With a candle flame burning before you
And your thoughts closed in
You were staring out into the distance
Not seeming to hear what I said
Why did you put up such resistance
Like all the lights are red

'Cause you and me baby
I saw you there
Straight away I knew
There's really no hiding
I'll tell you right now
What we're gonna do
We'll go collecting the days
Putting the moments away
You're on my mind like a
Song on the Radio

I don't know what it was that was painful
But sometimes it's there in your face
There are times when you just look disdainful
Of the human race
Ah, but then on the wings of emotion
We circle each other in flight
Till together we roll like the ocean
In its bed at night

'Cause you and me baby
I saw you there
Straight away I knew
There's really no hiding
I'll tell you right now
What we're gonna do
We'll go collecting the days
Putting the moments away
You're on my mind like a
Song on the Radio
You're on my mind like a
Song on the Radio

Puppet Man (Longdancer)


Puppet Man
Performer(s): Longdancer



I can take you by the hand
lead you to a land
where there's not a care
I can hoax you I can coax you
when there's nothing there

I can tie you on a string
make you dance and sing
to the tune I play
I can fool you I can rule you
you can't get away

('cause) I'm a puppet man, I'm a puppet man
can't you see I am, can't you see I am
I'm a puppet man, I'm a puppet man
I can make you part of my plan
'cause I'm a puppet man

I can beat you to the line
bring you peace of mind
for another day
I can take you I can make you
do the things I say

I can leave you on the ground
or turn your head around
make you step in time
I can fake you or forsake you
the choice is mine

and you won't understand
I'm the puppet man
that's what I am

Ella No Es Ella


Ella No Es Ella
Composer(s): Alejandro Abad Performer(s): Alejandro Abad



Cuando estoy con ella
Soy un laberinto de indecisión
Cuando estoy con ella
Juego con mi imaginación
Ella me da su sonrisa
Y yo, con mis prisas, me suelo ahogar
Y le digo acabemos
Y ella persigue mis ratos de fuego

Ella, ella no es ella
Ella es la otra, la que me impulsa
Y está en mi memoria
La otra es la que nunca podré olvidar

No, ella, ella no es ella
Ella es la otra, la que me excita
Y quema mi ropa
La otra es la piedra y yo, el volcán

Cuando estoy con ella
Sé que todo va peor
Y cuando pienso en la otra
Soy casi, casi un dios
Ella me baja la luna
La otra despierta mi instinto animal
La otra es mi fortuna
Mi musa desnuda, mi mejor remedio

Ella, ella no es ella
Ella es la otra, la que me impulsa
Y está en mi memoria
La otra es la que nunca podré olvidar

No, ella, ella no es ella
Ella es la otra, la que me excita
Y quema mi ropa
La otra es la piedra y yo, el volcán

Punto Negro


Punto Negro
Composer(s): Roberto Reynoso
Performer(s): Javier Solís



No quiero ya saber si te mueres o no por mi cariño
ni me importa que tú diciendo vayas hoy que me dejaste
Yo sé que para ti igual que para mí hay otros besos
porqué insistes en ser en mi quieto vivir un punto negro

Tu orgullo de mujer te ha vuelto mala y cruel y me atormenta
cuando el amor se va se queda el corazón ensombrecido
Olvida tu rencor que sólo ha de empañar aquellas horas
no quiero que seas tú de esta historia de amor el punto negro

Tu orgullo de mujer te ha vuelto mala y cruel y me atormenta
cuando el amor se va se queda el corazón ensombrecido
Olvida tu rencor que sólo ha de empañar aquellas horas
no quiero que seas tú de esta historia de amor el punto negro

Song Of Winter


Song Of Winter
(French Version: Fleur De lune - 1970)
Composer(s): Mickey Jones - Tommy Brown
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy - 1969



I'm the song of winter
I'm the falling snow
can't you hear me calling you
whenever the north wind blows

I'm the cool of evening
I'm the velvet sky
can't you hear me calling you
whenever the breeze passes by

oh, can't you hear me calling
oh, can't you hear my love
oh, can't you hear me calling you
for wherever you are
I am sending my love

I'm the misty rainbow
I'm a falling star
can't you hear me calling you
my love is wherever you are

oh, can't you hear me calling
oh, can't you hear my love
oh, can't you hear me calling you
on the day you return
I'll be waiting, my love

I'm the song of winter
I'm the falling snow
I'm the cool of evening
I'm a velvet sky
I'm a falling star
I'm a misty rainbow

Puño Loco


Puño Loco
Composer(s): León Gieco; Luis Gurevich
Performer(s): León Gieco



Hice caer el cielo, rompí todos los vientos
hice llorar sólo con un puño loco
Hice hablar al mundo, latir su corazón
le hice ver que la sangre era de todos

Si estuviera acá, con campanas soñaría
Requiem para un luchador callejero
Fui un mago más, piedra dura de romper
fui el rey del club de lo oscuro

Soy eterno, un hijo más
de este credo popular, quizá un tonto
Soy leyenda y por lo tanto
siempre estaré saltando, como un mono

Aunque tape la humedad de la pared de un viejo bar
nunca mi sonrisa se despintará del todo
Un día me fui sin haberme ido de aquí
somos varios los que estamos volviendo

Desde siempre fui gran valiente porque sí
quise en lo posible mirar hacia adentro
Puse un presidente y un villero a un mismo pozo
y los dibujé a todos con mis ojos

Soy eterno, un hijo más
de este credo popular, quizá un tonto
Soy leyenda y por lo tanto
siempre estaré saltando como un mono

Soy eterno, un hijo más
de este credo popular, quizá un tonto
Soy leyenda y por lo tanto
siempre estaré saltando como un mono

Für Den Frieden Der Welt


Für Den Frieden Der Welt
Petra Frey - 1994



Worte, die wehtun und Bilder, die schrei'n
Wehende Fahnen im Wind
Grenzen, die Lügen, und keiner mehr kennt
Und Menschen von Tränen fast blind

Manchmal, da hör' ich ein Lied tief in mir
Das mir von Liebe erzählt
Sehnsucht nach Freiheit und nach einer Welt
Wo jeder den and'ren versteht

Für den Frieden der Welt, für die Hoffnung nach Licht
Für die Wahrheit, die keiner mehr sieht
Für die Menschen, die frier'n, und die keiner mehr hört
Dafür singe ich euch dieses Lied

Für den Frieden der Welt, für die Hoffnung nach Licht
Für die Wahrheit, die keiner mehr sieht
Für die Menschen, die frier'n, und die keiner mehr hört
Dafür singe ich euch dieses Lied
Dafür singe ich euch dieses Lied

Flehende Herzen im Dunkel der Nacht
Wann sehen sie wieder Licht?
Wer gibt den Kindern ihr Lachen zurück
Bevor ihre Hoffnung zerbricht?

Für den Frieden der Welt, für die Hoffnung nach Licht
Für die Wahrheit, die keiner mehr sieht
Für die Menschen, die frier'n, und die keiner mehr hört
Dafür singe ich euch dieses Lied

Und es darf nicht mehr sein
Dass man Mut dazu braucht
Um den anderen Liebe zu zeigen

Für den Frieden der Welt, für die Hoffnung nach Licht
Für die Wahrheit, die keiner mehr sieht
Für die Menschen, die frier'n, und die keiner mehr hört
Dafür singe ich euch dieses Lied
Dieses Lied
