Es riecht so gut, pass auf, dass du nicht geschnappt wirst

Dabei geht ihre Gesellschaft am Alkoholismus zugrunde
aber dich jagen sie, Dich

Performer(s): Carroll Gibbons
I haven’t got a penny
You’re just as broke as me
I’m not so very busy
And you’re absolutely free
Hi-ho, lackaday
What have we got to lose?
You’re very fond of walking
I haven’t any car
The church around the corner, dear
Is not so very far
Hi-ho, lackaday
What have we got to lose?
Hi-diddle-diddle, that’s a song
That we can sing the whole day long
Hi-ho, if any thing goes wrong
We’ll sing our worries away
And somewhere in the country
We’ll find a little nest
We’ll pay a porter’s rent
And they can sue us for the rest
Hi-ho, lackaday
What have we got to lose?

What Have They Done To The Rain?
What Have They Done To The Rain?
Composer(s): Malvina Reynolds
Performer(s): The Searchers;
and various other artists
Just a little rain falling all around
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound
Just a little rain, just a little rain
What have they done to the rain
Just a little boy standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain
Just a little breeze out of the sky
The leaves nod their head as the breeze blows by
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye
What have they done to the rain
Just a little boy standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain
What have they done to the rain

Africa (Toto)
Africa
((African Version: Afrika (by Tukuleur) - 2000))
Composer(s): Jeff Porcaro - David Paich
First release by: Toto - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
'Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you'
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

What Have I Gained From Loving You
What Have I Gained From Loving You
Spanish Title: Qué He Sacado Con Quererte
Composer(s): Violeta Parra
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
What have I gained from the moon that we both watched together
What have I gained with the names written on the wall
Just like the calendar changes, so changes everything in this world
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay
What have I gained from the lily that we planted in the patio
It wasn't just one who was planting it, but two lovers
Gardener, your garden has not changed with time
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay
What have I gained from the shadow of the aromo tree for a witness
And the trace of four feet by the road side
What have I gained from loving you, little carnation in bloom
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay
Here is the same moon, and in the patio the white lily
The two names on the wall and your trail on the road
But you, ungrateful dove, no longer coo in my nest
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay

Africa (Adriano Celentano)
Africa
Composer(s): Rosario Bella - Gianni Bella - Mogol Audio 2
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano
Le giraffe dal lungo, lungo collo
sopra gli alberi bruciano la vita
nel silenzio, la pace più assoluta
uno sparo e l'aria è lacerata
Un bambino è spaventato
stringe l'arma con forza tra le dita
Una scimmia da lontano
alza il capo incuriosita...
I leoni sdraiati lì nell'ombra
siamo in tanti
con i cuccioli giocano a graffiarsi già
innocenti
paradiso di vita, naturale
siamo in tanti
uno sparo e un grido che fa male
obbedienti
un bambino è spaventato
senza amore
stringe l'arma con forza tra le dita
senza guida
e la gente da lontano
com'è ingiusta
abbassa gli occhi un'altra volta piangendo
questa sfida
e quel sole non si nasconde mai
le capanne là
e quel sole impietoso sopra noi
desolate ma
dov'e l'acqua? Alziamo gli occhi in su
nel cuore tanta libertà
ma vediamo sempre e solo blu
no la fame non ci ha sconfitto mai
quegli occhi vivi
solo l'odio può farci male ormai
e luccicanti che
tu fratello sei un lago senza pesci
han bisogno anche di te
tu fratello perché non mi conosci?
In questa immensità
siamo in tanti
quanti delitti non si sa
innocenti
si respira l'amore
siamo in tanti
si respira il dolore
No, non abbiamo mai visto la neve
siamo già contenti quando piove
donne belle e dolci come il miele
il sudore sulle labbra sa di sale
e quel sole non si nasconde mai
Le capanne là
e quel sole impietoso sopra noi
desolate ma
dov'è l'acqua? Alziamo gli occhi in su
nel cuore tanta libertà
ma vediamo sempre e solo blu
no la fame non ci ha sconfitto mai
quegli occhi vivi
solo l'odio può farci male ormai
e luccicanti che
tu fratello sei un lago senza pesci
han bisogno anche di te
tu fratello perché non mi conosci?

What Good Am I Without You?
What Good Am I Without You?
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Don Rodney
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
I'm like a song that no one sings
I'm like a bird without its wings
I'm like a star that fell from the sky
What good am I without you?
Where is the sun that used to shine?
Where is the one who once was mine?
Aimless am I, like clouds drifting by
What good am I without you?
You are the very breath I take7
The every wish and prayer I make
You are so much a part of me
You'll always be the very heart of me
How can I live without you near
When I'm so mad about you dear
How can I laugh when I want to cry
What good am I without you, Darling
What good am I without you?.

Afraid To Fall In Love
Afraid To Fall In Love
Composer(s): Ralph Blane - Harry Warren
Performer(s): Mickey Rooney & Gloria DeHaven
(He:)
Since the day that Mister Noah put together things
Many furry, many finny, many feather things
Have endured because they knew the way to weather things
There were rules to be obeyed
That's the way we're made
Why should anybody be afraid?
They all had lovers the world discovers
This danger hovers when spring uncovers
It's natch'ral to feel this feeling you feel
But fears were doomed to fade
That's the way we're made
Why should anybody be afraid?
Love is something you acquire, there's much to learn of it
No astrologer you hire can tell the turn of it
If you fiddle with the fire, you risk the burn of it
What you learn may disconcert you
But it isn't gonna hurt you
So you mustn't be afraid to fall in love
(She:)
In a book of love, and I have read through all of it
There's a chapter there referring to the call of it
Juliet and Cleopatra knew the fall of it
But the poison vial and asp
Really made me gasp
Maybe that's the reason I'm afraid
They all lie sleeping 'cause love came sweeping
No way of keeping their hearts from weeping
If you say, "Why feel this feeling I feel?"
Until they find a cure
I'll avoid the lure
Maybe that's the reason I'm afraid
So it seems that love is fatal as I've read of it
Maybe that's the reason why I have a dread of it
Oh, there must be something else to do instead of it
When my very own dear mother said
There're times she wished that she were dead
No, I'm afraid I mustn't fall in love
(He:)
Oh, I'm afraid you're still afraid
(She:)
Not really
(He:)
Yes, you're afraid to fall, to fall in love

What Good Am I
What Good Am I
Composer(s): Kenny Lynch; Mort Shuman
Performer(s): Cilla Black
Once I used to turn away
I never hear a word you'd say
Suddenly your words run true
I started to believe in you
Now I love you but you are gone
There's nothing left to build upon
In a world I never know
I thought I could depend on you
For Love
Come to you for love
You could make a day for me
Seem like a year of Ecstasy
Every moment spent apart
Was like a sword thrust through my heart
I hought our love would grow and grow
But all that seems so long ago
Were you just to blind to see that
You were more than life to me
For What Good Am I....

Afraid To Dream
Afraid To Dream
Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel
Performer(s): Benny Goodman
and multiple other artists
Afraid to dream, afraid that you may not be there
Afraid to dream, without you it would seem so bare
With open arms I call to you, I want you, dear
Just as I reach for you, why do you disappear?
Afraid to dream; I'll see you there with someone new
Afraid to find another one caressing you
Although you promised me that this could never be
It's the thought of losing you that makes me so afraid to dream

What Goes Up Must Come Down
What Goes Up Must Come Down
Composer(s): Rube Bloom; Ted Koehler
Performer(s): Cyril Grantham;
and various other artists
You leave me alone, you don’t even phone
You’re carefree as a bird in the sky
But what goes up must come down
And, Baby, you’ve been flying too high
It’s all over town, you’re chasing around
But I’m not gonna sit home and cry
Remember what goes up must come down
And, Baby, you’ve been flying too high
You ought to get your walkin’ papers
But now it’s too late
Because I know you too well
When you’re through cuttin’ capers
You break down my gate
To ring my front door bell
So go have your fling, and don’t miss a thing
I’ll see you down to earth by and by
Remember what goes up must come down
And, Baby, you’ve been flying too high

Afraid To Care
Afraid To Care
Composer(s): Jack Greene - Kenna Campbell
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Here I go again
Love's standing at my door
I'm so afraid to take a chance
For I've been hurt before
It's not that I can't love you
Your life I'd like to share
But my heart's been broken so many times
It's just afraid to care
Maybe time will ease the pain
And someday I can love again
My heart can't stand a new affair
It's loved and lost so many times
It's just afraid to care
Maybe time will ease the pain
And someday I can love again
My heart can't stand a new affair
It's loved and lost so many times
It's just afraid to care

What Goes On Here In My Heart?
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Betty Grable;
and various other artists
What goes on here in my heart?
All this bumpin' and thumpin' and jumpin'
When I see you
What goes on here when we part?
It keeps bumpin' and thumpin' and jumpin'
The whole night through
It will stop awhile, so quiet and then
If you happen to smile
There's a riot again
What goes on here in my heart, Dear
Could this bumpin' and thumpin' and jumpin'
Be love

Afraid Of Tomorrow
Afraid Of Tomorrow
Composer(s): Gary Moore
Performer(s): Gary Moore
All of our destinies written within us
No more of falling for the world's biggest lie
Are you so jealous of the wind and her freedom?
Nothing can stop you now
Live in your dreams
Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Crossing the wilderness, finding the treasure
Buried within yourself all you desire
Soul of the world can see all you are feeling
Heeding the wise man's words, all things are one
Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Mmah, ah
All of our destinies written within us
No more of falling for the world's biggest lie
Are you still jealous of the wind and her freedom?
Nothing can stop you now, so live in your dreams
Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Afraid of tomorrow
Afraid of tomorrow
Oh, afraid
Oh, oh afraid
Oh, afraid

What Goes On
What Goes On
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am upside down
Lady, be good, and do what you should
you know it'll work allright
Lady, be good, do what you should
you know it'll be alright
I'm goin' up, and I'm goin' down
I'm gonna fly from side to side
See the bells, up in the sky
Somebody's cut the string in two
Lady, be good, and do what you should
you know it'll work alright
Lady, be good, do what you should
you know it'll be alright
One minute one, one minute two
One minute up and one minute down
What goes on here in your mind?
I think that I am falling down
Lady, be good, and do what you should
you know it'll work alright
Lady, be good, do what you should
you know it'll be alright
