Sono Solo Canzonette
Sono Solo Canzonette
Composer(s): Edoardo Bennato
First release by: Edoardo Bennato - 1980
Mi ricordo che anni fa
di sfuggita dentro un bar
ho sentito un juke-box che suonava
e nei sogni di bambino
la chitarra era una spada
e chi non ci credeva era un pirata!
... e la voglia di cantare
e la voglia di volare
forse mi è venuta proprio allora
forse è stata una pazzia
però è l'unica maniera di dire sempre quello
che mi va!
Non potrò mai diventare
direttore generale
delle poste e delle ferrovie
non potrò mai far carriera
nel giornale della sera
anche perché finirei in galera!
... mai nessuno mi darà
il suo voto per parlare
o per decidere del suo futuro
nella mia categoria
tutta gente poco seria
di cui non ci si può fidare!...
Guarda invece che scienziati
che dottori, che avvocati
che folla di ministri e deputati!
Pensa che in questo momento
proprio mentre io sto cantando
stanno seriamente lavorando!
... per i dubbi e le domande
che ti assillano la mente
va da loro e non ti preoccupare
sono a tua disposizione
e sempre, senza esitazione
loro ti risponderanno!...
... io di risposte non ne ho!
io faccio solo rock'n roll!
... se ti conviene bene
io più di tanto non posso fare!...
Gli impresari di partito
mi hanno fatto un altro invito
e hanno detto che finisce male
se non vado pure io
al raduno generale
della grande festa nazionale!
... hanno detto che non posso
rifiutarmi proprio adesso
che anche a loro devo il mio successo
che son pazzo ed incosciente
sono un irriconoscente
un sovversivo, un mezzo criminale!...
Ma che ci volete fare
non vi sembrerò normale
ma è l'istinto che mi fa volare!
Non c'è gioco né finzione
perché l'unica illusione
è quella della realtà, della ragione!
... però a quelli in malafede
sempre a caccia delle streghe
dico: no! Non è una cosa seria!
E così è se vi pare
ma lasciatemi sfogare
non mettetemi alle strette
o con quanto fiato ho in gola
vi urlerò: non c'è paura!
Ma c'è politica, che cultura
sono solo canzonette!...

Put Your Shoes On, Lucy
Put Your Shoes On, Lucy
Composer(s): Hank Fort
Performer(s): Petula Clark;
and various other artists
Got an invitation to visit Manhattan
With my highfalutin' kin
Sent off to the catalog to get some clothes
Felt so stylish from my head to my toes
Seen all the sights and I even did some flirtin'
I was doin' alright till my feet started hurtin'
So I kicked off my shoes when I thought they couldn't see
But they must have, 'cos this is what they all said to me
Put your shoes on, Lucy, don't you know you're in the city
Put your shoes on, Lucy, it's really such a pity
That Lucy can't go barefoot wherever she goes
'Cause she loves to feel the wiggle of her toes
Put your shoes on Lucy 'cause you're here in old New York
You'll get by alrighty if you let 'em hear you talk
All the city slickers love that southern drawl
So give 'em that "Honey chile" and "Hi, y'all"
Lucy, let the good things happen
Lucy, won't you stop that gapin'
How you act will be the death of me
Don't they have skyscrapers down in Tennessee
Put your shoes on, Lucy, even though they kinda pinch
Stop baulkin', you gotta do some walkin', it's a cinch
Use your party manners, you'll need them and how
Put your shoes on Lucy, you're a big girl now

Majesty Of Love
Majesty Of Love
Composer(s): Ben Raleigh - Don Wolf
Performer(s): Marvin Rainwater & Connie Francis
Every time you're close
When you touch me tenderly
I feel the majesty of love
Every time you hold my hand
In my heart I understand
This is the majesty of love
Only you, only you
Can hold me with one little kiss
Only you, only you
Could make me feel like this
Keep on holding me this way
We were meant to be this way
This is the majesty of love
Tell me you're forever mine
Tell me till the end of time
We'll share the majesty of love
... Love
Tell me you're forever mine
Tell me till the end of time
We'll share the majesty of love
... Love

Performer(s): Santana; Paul Fenech
Hey now, all you sinners
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you lovers
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you killers
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on, you better leave your lights on
Cause there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
There's an angel, with a hand on my head
She say I've got nothing to fear
There's a darkness deep in my soul
I still got a purpose to serve
So let your light shine, into my home
God, don't let me lose my nerve
Lose my nerve
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Wo oh hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Hey now, all you sinners
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on, you better leave your lights on
Because there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
There's an angel, with a hand on my head
She say's I've got nothing to fear
La ill aha ill allah
We all shine like stars
We all shine like stars
Then we fade away

Le Mal Aimé
Le Mal Aimé
(Adapted from: Daydreamer - 1973)
Composer(s): Terry Dempsey - Eddy Marnay
Performer(s): Claude François - 1974
J'ai besoin qu'on m'aime
Mais personne ne comprend
Ce que j'espère et que j'attends
Qui pourrait me dire qui je suis?
Et j'ai bien bien peur
Toute ma vie d'être incompris
Car aujourd'hui: je me sens mal aimé
Je suis le mal aimé
Les gens me connaissent
Tel que je veux me montrer
Mais ont-ils cherché à savoir
D'où me viennent mes joies?
Et pourquoi ce désespoir
Caché au fond de moi
Si les apparences
Sont quelquefois contre moi
Je ne suis pas ce que l'on croit
Contre l'aventure de chaque jour
J'échangerais demain la joie d'un seul amour
Mais je suis là comme avant mal aimé
Je suis le mal aimé
Les gens me connaissent
Tel que je veux me montrer
Mais ont-ils cherché à savoir
D'où me viennent mes joies?
Et pourquoi ce désespoir
Caché au fond de moi
Car je suis mal aimé
Je suis le mal aimé
Les gens me connaissent
Tel que je veux me montrer
Mais ont-ils cherché à savoir
D'où me viennent mes joies?
Et pourquoi ce désespoir
Caché au fond de moi
Je suis le mal aimé
Les gens me connaissent
Tel que je veux me montrer
Mais ont-ils cherché à savoir
D'où me viennent mes joies?
Et pourquoi ce désespoir
Caché au fond de moi

Put Your Head On My Shoulder
Put Your Head On My Shoulder
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka
Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh so tight
Show me that you love me too
Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won’t you kiss me once, baby
Just a kiss goodnight, may be
You and I will fall in love
People say that love’s a game
A game you just can’t win
If there’s a way
I’ll find it someday
And then this fool with rush in
Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear
Tell me, tell me that you love me too
Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear, baby
Put your head on my shoulder

Daydreamer
Daydreamer
(French Version: Le Mal Aimé - 1974)
Composer(s): Terry Dempsey
First release by: David Cassidy - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
I remember April, when the sun was in the sky
Love was burning in your eyes
Nothing in the world could bother me
'Cause I was living in a world of ecstasy
But now you're gone
I'm just a daydreamer, I'm walking in the rain
Chasing after rainbows I may never find again
Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone
Oh, how much I need someone to call my very own
Now the summers over and I found myself alone
With only memories of you
I was so in love, I couldn't see
'Cause I was living in a world of make believe
But now your gone
I'm just a daydreamer, I'm walking in the rain
Chasing after rainbows I may never find again
Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone
Oh, how much I need someone, to call my very own
I'm just a daydreamer, I'm walking in the rain
Chasing after rainbows I may never find again
Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone
Oh, how much I need someone to call my very own
I'm just a daydreamer, walking in the rain
Chasing after rainbows I may never find again
Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone
Oh, how much I need someone, to call my very own
I'm just a daydreamer, baby

Put Your Hand In The Hand
Put Your Hand In The Hand
Composer(s): Gene MacLellan
Performer(s): Lynn Anderson;
and various other artists
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
My momma taught me how to pray
Before I reached the age of seven
When I'm down on my knees
That's when I'm closest to heaven
Daddy lived his life, two kids and a wife
Well you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes
To get me through.
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

Love Me For A Reason
Love Me For A Reason
Composer(s): John Bristol - Wade Bowen - David Jones
First release by: Johnny Bristol - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
Girl when you hold me
How you control me
You bend and you fold me
Anyway you please
It must be easy for you
The loving things that you do
But just a pastime for you
I could never be
And I never know, girl
If I should stay or go
'Cos the games that you play
Keep driving me away
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Kisses and caresses
Are only minor tests, babe
Of love, lead to stresses
Between a woman and a man
So if love everlasting
Isn't what you're asking
I'll have to pass, girl
I'm proud to take a stand
I can't continue guessing
Because it's only messing
With my pride and my mind
So right now it's time to tell ya
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
I'm just a little old-fashioned
It'll take more than physical attraction
My initial reaction is honey give me love
Not a facsimile of
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, ooh baby
Let me be the one
Love me, love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Waar Ben Je Nou?
Composer(s): E. Den Hoed
Performer(s): Ann Christy
Soms ben ik moe
Aan een pauze toe
Het is moeilijk te verwerken
Daar te zijn
Was zo fijn
Ook al liet ik het niet merken
Waar ben je nou?
Ik hou toch van jou
Het was zo fijn
Samen gelukkig te zijn
Wat nu is gebeurd
Heeft alles gekleurd
Toch blijf ik nog hopen
Mijn liefde voor jou
Alsook m’n trouw
Waarom ben je gaan lopen?
Waar ben je nou?
Ik hou toch van jou
Het was zo fijn
Samen gelukkig te zijn
De tijd zal het leren hoe verder te gaan
Toch blijf ik altijd nog hopen
Mijn verlangen naar jou zal altijd blijven bestaan
Mijn deur blijft altijd open
Jarenlang was ik nooit zo bang
Ga je nog komen?
Het blijft bij mij
Zoals je toen zei ...
Toch zal ik slechts dromen
Waar ben je nou?
Ik hou toch van jou
Het was zo fijn, samen gelukkig te zijn
Het was zo fijn, samen gelukkig te zijn
De tijd zal het leren hoe verder te gaan
Mijn deur blijft altijd open
De tijd zal het leren hoe verder te gaan
Toch blijf ik altijd nog hopen

Came up to you one night
Noticed the look in your eye
Saw you was on your own

You and your bottle of brandy
Both of you smell the same
Still on your feet, still standing
So it was all right

Superman comes to meet you
Looks twice the size of me
I didn't stay around to say goodnight

And that will be all right, yeah

W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
Performer(s: The Band; Hans Staymer Band
When your arms are empty
got nowhere to go
Come on out and catch the show
There'll be saints and sinners
You'll see losers and winners
All kinds of people you might want to know
Once you get it, you can't forget it
W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
You know he always holds it in a tent
And if you're looking for the real thing
He can show you where it went
There's a young faith healer
He's a woman stealer
He will cure by his command
When the music's hot you might have to stand
To hear the Klondike Klu Klux steamboat band
Don't you sweat it
You can't forget it
W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
I'd rather die happy than not die at all
And a man is a fool who will not heed the call
Gonna see Miss Brer Foxhole
She's got diamonds in her teeth
She is real gold down underneath
She's a rock and roll singer and a true dead ringer
For something like you ain't never seen
Once you get it, you can't forget it

My race is nearly run

W*O*L*D
W*O*L*D
Composer(s): Harry Chapin
Performer(s): Harry Chapin; Richie Havens
Hello Honey, it's me
What did you think
when you heard me back on the radio?
What did the kids say
when they knew it was their long lost daddy-o?
Remember how we listened to the radio
And I said 'That's the place for me'
And how I got the job as an FM Jock the day you married me?
We were two kids and I was was into AM rock
But I just had to run around
It's been eight years since I left you babe
Let me tell you 'bout what's gone down
I am the morning DJ on W*O*L*D
Playing all the hits for you wherever you may be
The bright good-morning voice who's heard but never seen
Feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen
The drinking I did on my last big gig made my voice go low
They said that they liked the younger sound when they let me go
So I drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma to do me a late night talk show
Now I worked my way back home again, via Boise, Idaho
That's how this business goes
I am the morning DJ on W*O*L*D
Playing all the hits for you wherever you may be
The bright good-morning voice who's heard but never seen
Feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen
I've been making extra money playing high school sock hops
I'm a big time guest MC
You should hear me talking to the little children
And listen what they say to me
Got a spot on the top of my head, begging for a new toupee
And a tire on my gut from sitting on my
But they're never gonna go away
Sometimes I get this crazy dream
That I just drive off in my car
But you can travel on ten thousand miles and still say where you are
I've been thinking that I should quit disk jockeying
And start that record store
Maybe I could settle down if you'ld take me back once more
OK Honey, I see
I guess he's better than me
Sure, Old Girl, I understand
You don't have to worry, I'm such a happy man
W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D*D*D
I am the morning DJ on K*H*J
Playing all the hits for you Playing them night and day
The bright good morning voice who's heard but never seen
Feeling all of forty-five, going on fifteen
I am the morning DJ on W*O*L*D

Sono Simpatico
Sono Simpatico
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano
Eppure son simpatico
quando mi guardo allo specchio
sono un simpatico
per i compagni e per gli amici
mentre per te, solo per te
per te non sono che una cicca
l'avanzo di una sigaretta, fumata
Quante ragazze mi hanno anche detto
che son bello
quanti ragazzi
mi voglion tutti per fratello
e invece tu, invece tu
mi sbatti via come una cicca
perché non sono che una cicca per te
Io so già
che un giorno tu
vorrai raccogliermi
ti brucerai
con il mio amore
sì ti brucerai
ma non mi avrai
Io so già
che un giorno tu
vorrai raccogliermi
ti brucerai
con il mio amore
sì ti brucerai
ma non mi avrai

Would you like to be the love of my life for always
And always watch over me
To square my blunders and share my dreams

Would you like to take the merry-go-round
I'll lead you, I'll need you
Just Wait till you see
I hope in your horoscope there is room for a dope who adores you
That would make the only dream of my life come true
For the love of my life is you

Keep Me In Mind
Composer(s): Ray Agius - Alfred C. Sant
First performance by: Mike Spiteri - 1995
That old feeling
Dreams we shared together
Are just fragments of the past
There's a silence
Shades of stormy weather
Was our love too good to last?
Light a candle, sing a song
Look for rainbows
There's nothing wrong
Every night I cry my heart out
'Cause we're driftin' apart, now I know
Keep me in mind
When you're all alone
Dial my number
I'll wait by the phone
We'll have tomorrow
And sweet dreams to follow
Hold me forever
So keep me in mind, love
'Cause you're in my heart
A sweet memory
From a world of laughter
Brings back echoes
Night and day
Light a candle, sing a song
Look for a rainbow
There's nothing wrong
Every night I cry my heart out
'Cause we're driftin' apart, now I know
Keep me in mind
When you're all alone
Dial my number
I'll wait by the phone
Send me some lovin'
And take me to heaven
Put love on the line
Just make it known that you're mine
Keep me in mind
When dark shadows fall
Don't go to strangers
I'm there when you call
We'll have tomorrow
And sweet dreams to follow
Hold me forever
So keep me in mind, love
'Cause you're in my heart
('Cause you're in my heart)
'Cause you're in my heart
('Cause you're in my heart)
'Cause you're in my heart

I'm even allergic to rice
Why don't you stop me when I talk about Shanghai
It's just a lover's device
Now, who's gonna kiss me
Who's gonna thrill me
Who's gonna hold me tight
I'm right around the corner in the phone booth
And I wannna be with you tonight
