Alibi
Alibi
Composer(s): Christopher Cross - Rob Meurer
Performer(s): Christopher Cross
It's a calm wind blowing on my skin
And I've been dreaming again
Now that we're all here
We can share these notes and all this madness
We can talk of innocence
And of all the things we believe in
Is it an alibi
Is it the reason why
Is it the way we really feel inside
Set it free
The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light
That helps me see the path ahead of me
I can feel that something
A hint of mystery
A trace of dare
To live the truth I hide somewhere
Daybreak
In a place I've known before
Will I find me behind that final door
I can hear the footsteps of the past
I can feel the thunder and it's coming fast
I'm gonna spend some time with the moon
Pour myself a glass of midnight
Keep myself in tune
Is it an alibi
Is it the tears I cry
Is it the way I see it through your eyes
The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light
That helps me see the path ahead of me
I can feel that something
A hint of mystery
A trace of dare
To live the truth I hide somewhere

Where Or When
Where Or When
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Dion & The Belmonts;
and various other artists
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you were smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before and loved before
But who knows where or when?

Ali Baba's Camel
Ali Baba's Camel
Composer(s): Noel Gay
Performer(s): Cicely Courtneidge; The Bonzo Dog Band
You've heard of Ali Baba
Forty thieves had he
Out for what we all want
Lots of LSD
He also had a camel
Stole it from a zoo
How he loved the camel, and the camel loved him too
Oh, how the how the camel loved Ali Ba(r)Ba(r)!
Ali Baba's camel loved Ali Baba so
No matter where he went to, that camel had to go
Some say that he's in heaven, but this I know is true
Wherever you think Ali has gone, his camel's gone there too
(oh, buddy cam-ee)
Crossing the equator, oooo, how hot it was
Poor old Ali Baba cursed and swore, because
He was so very thirsty, and everybody knows
It's horrible to walk for miles with sand between your toes
Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba... brrrrr!
Ali Baba's camel turned 'round and licked his hand
He said, "Oh, Ali Baba, I surely understand"
"We must find an oasis and get a drink somehow"
"But, hark! I hear the temple bells! They'll all be open now"
They entered for the races at the desert sports
There goes Ali's camel in his filthy cotton shorts
The starter cracked his pistol off the camel's head
Ali Baba's camel wins by half a camel's hair
Hey Ali Baba, Hey Ali Baba
Your camel loves you!
Your camel loves you!
Ali Baba's camel had run for miles and miles
His tail was pointing backwards
That's how a camel smiles
But Ali and his camel, they both were out of breath
They'd run so far, they laughed so much
They laughed themselves to death
Oh! Gather 'round the campfire! Sing a rondelet!
But don't sing out of tune, though
('Cause eggs are cheap today!)
Sing of Ali Baba
Sing about his men
Sing about his camel, and then sing it all again
Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba
Ali Baba's camel loved Ali Baba so
No matter where he went to, that camel had to go
Some say that he's in heaven, but this I know as well
Wherever you think Ali has gone, his camel's gone to
(hey, give us a tune there, Jock! Yahoo!)

Where No Cabins Fall
Where No Cabins Fall
Composer(s): Nolan Jeffress
Performer(s): The Country Gentlemen;
Chestnut Grove Quartet; Rhonda Vincent
As my mind wanders back to the quaint little shack
Where in childhood I used to play
There with mother and dad, we were happy and glad
As we whiled the sweet moments away
We would all kneel in prayer and in reverence there
We would praise the redeemer on high
Now in sadness I pine for that old home of mine
And I long for that mother’s love
(Chorus)
I’d like to go back to that quaint little tumble-down shack
I’d like to spend a day where in heaven forever I’ll stay
But time won’t turn back; we must travel till Jesus shall call
Then we’ll be happy in that land where no cabins fall
Though I drifted away from childhood’s sweet play
I can still hear those voices sweet
They are calling me back to that quaint little shack
Where the circle will never more meet
But til that happy day, up in heaven they say
We will praise the redeemer on high
Now in sadness I pine for that old home of mine
And I long for that mother’s love
(Chorus)
I’d like to go back to that quaint little tumble-down shack
I’d like to spend a day where in heaven forever I’ll stay
but time won’t turn back; we must travel til Jesus shall call
Then we’ll be happy in that land where no cabins fall
In that land where no cabins fall

Ali
Ali
Performer(s): Udo Lindenberg
Ali ist ein Türkenjunge aus Hamburg
hier geboren
doch wo gehört er eigentlich hin?
Dauernd gibt man ihm so ein Gefühl
als müßte er sagen
"Entschuldigen Sie, daß ich geboren bin"
Ali trifft sein Mädchen in dunklen Läden
Sie nimmt ihn nie mit zu sich nach Haus
Sie sagt
"Mein Alter, mit dem kann man leider nicht reden
der hat so Müllsprüche darauf wie 'Kanacken raus!'"
Und er denkt an das Land seiner Eltern
das er nur von Bildern kennt
und vom Fernsehen das Land
das sein Vater die echte Heimat nennt
Istanbul, das Schwarze Meer
am Bahnhof schaut er den Zügen hinterher
Doch wahrscheinlich in Ankara
hätte er Heimweh nach Hamburg-Altona
So sitzt er mit den Gefühlen
zwischen den Stühlen
umgeben von Gettomauern
isoliert wie im Knast
Und trotzdem, Ali, ist das hier dein Zuhause
Heimat ist einfach da, wo du Freunde hast
und da wo du herkommst
wo eins nur wichtig ist
daß du ein guter Kumpel bist

À Propos De Pommier
À Propos De Pommier
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Hubert Giraud
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Un jour le bon Dieu
Le front soucieux
Se dit: "Mon vieux
Ton grand ciel bleu
N'a rien de rose
Plus j'y réfléchis
Plus je me dis
Qu'il manque ici
Un paradis
Ou autre chose"
Il fit tant et bien
Avec ses mains
Et presque rien
En un peu moins
D'une semaine
Il avait créé
Les champs, les prés
L'hiver, l'été
Et aussi les
Formes humaines
Il les convoqua
Leur dit: "Voilà
Avec tout ça
Vous n'avez qu'à
Vivre tranquilles
Je vous en fais don
Tout y est bon
Mais attention
À condition
D'être dociles
Et de me faire la promesse
De ne pas toucher au pommier
Non, de ne pas toucher au pommier
Non, de ne pas toucher au pommier"
Le bon Dieu parti
Adam se dit
Ben mon ami
T'es mieux ici
Qu'dans une usine
T'as une poupée
Une beauté
Qui est roulée
Comme pour tourner
À la Goldwine
Et ce brave Adam
Passait le temps
En souriant
Béatement
Comm' bien des hommes
Sans avoir idée
Que sa moitié
Puisse flirter
Avec un r'pré-
-sentant en pommes
Ev' trouvait charmant
Et affolant
Ce beau Tarzan
Nommé Serpent
Dit à sornettes
Qui sut l'envoûter
La fasciner
Lui fair' croquer
Dans la pomme et
Perdre la tête
Au point d'oublier sa promesse
De ne pas toucher aux pommiers
Non, de ne pas toucher aux pommiers
Non, de ne pas toucher aux pommiers
Tout commence ici
Eve en folie
Prit un beau fruit
Et le tendit
À son p'tit homme
Et ce brave Adam
Toujours confiant
A belles dents
Mordit dedans
Comme une pomme
Lorsque Dieu l'appris
Avec mépris
Il leur a dit
Plus d'Paradis
Je vous condamne
À vivre et lutter
À travailler
Hiver, été
Et tout ça c'est
À caus' d'un' femme
C'est ainsi depuis
Que va la vie
Meme aujourd'hui
L'homme est trahi
Dans l'ignorance
Et le vieux pommier
Presqu'oublié
Est remplacé
Par le pêché
De complaisance
Car les femm's tiennent leur promesse
De ne pas toucher aux pommiers
Non, de ne pas toucher aux pommiers
Car, ell's préfèr'nt goûter au pêché
C'est si doux, c'est si doux
De goûter au pêché
C'est si doux, c'est si doux
De goûter au pêché
De goûter au pêché

Where Love Has Gone
Where Love Has Gone
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Bobby Darin;
Jack Jones; Newell Oler
There must be a place, a place where love has gone
A bright, shiny world, somewhere where love has gone
Where dreams and desires as cold as yesterday's fires
Start to blaze anew
There must be a star gleaming in space
That doesn't grow dim with each last embrace
They say love's gone when it goes
And I'm naïve I suppose
There may not be such a place, there may not be such a star
But still my fool of a heart just leads me on
It wants to be there, there with you
Where love has gone
To that bright and shiny world where love has gone
To that gone forever world where love has gone

Alguna Vez Voy A Ser Libre
Alguna Vez Voy A Ser Libre
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez
No soy un pez ni un arlequín
ni un extranjero
no tengo edad para morir
vamos al cielo
no voy a esperar
alguna vez voy a ser libre
libre mi amor
como el amor
como quisiste
Voy silbando bajo y siento tu vos así
una sirena de ambulancia
voy quedando solo cada vez mas
así que
mi corazón ya no me basta
veo el reloj veo las 6
voy hasta el baño
ya amaneció
y cerca de aquí como en el barro
tengo que hacer
tengo que dar
no que des vueltas
ya anocheció y cerca de aquí
tengo las pruebas
Panorama para y para vos por el
por los que fueron y vinieron
panorama enfermo en contradicción
y yo yo ya estoy listo como un perro
tengo un pasaporte en el bolsillo para irme de acá
ohh
tengo una canción en la cabeza y no puedo parar
tengo que salir de la reforma de resucitar
creo que estoy cerca mientras vos te alejas mas y mas
ahhh ahh
Porque yo no tengo mapa de este mundo
porque yo doy vueltas sobre el mismo punto
porque yo no tengo mapa de este mundo
no tengo mapa de este mundo no

Where Is Your Heart?
Where Is Your Heart? (aka The Song From Moulin Rouge)
((Danish Version: Hvor Er Dit Hjerte (Sangen Fra Moulin Rouge) (Gustav Winckler) - 1953))
Composer(s): William Engvick - Georges Auric
First performance by: Muriel Smith - 1952
Covered by multiple other artists
Whenever we kiss
I worry and wonder
Your lips may be near
But where is your heart?
It's always like this
I worry and wonder
You're close to me here
But where is your heart?
It's a sad thing to realize
That you've a heart that never melts
When we kiss, do you close your eyes
Pretending that I'm someone else?
You must break the spell
This cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell
Darling, where is your heart?

Alguien (Silvio Rodríguez)
Alguien
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Alguien se vuelve sobre mi quejosa soledad
algún respiro alguien me da con despreocupación
Forcado sobre mis papeles no he reparado, viene un alguien que se va...
Alguien es sólo un buen objeto
una mirada, un buen recuerdo
a veces es un candil
o un camisón de dormir
una cigarra un nuevo cielo
una palabra desde lejos
alguien lo es todo a la vez
y todo pasa después
Mas yo sé que alguien me buscó tanteando un baño gris
Yo sé que alguien suavizó mi forma de vivir
Y esta querida tempestad que en mi bolsillo va sufriendo por la luz
Alguien es sólo un buen objeto
una mirada, un buen recuerdo
a veces es un candil
o un camisón de dormir
una cigarra un nuevo cielo
una palabra desde lejos
alguien lo es todo a la vez
y todo pasa después

Where Is The Warmth?
Where Is The Warmth?
Composer(s): Stephen Schwartz
Performer(s): Patti LuPone;
Judy Kaye; Théa Mann
Look at him, that's a face
That's a profile to admire
Look at him, that's a torso that's rare
When I look at him, how I burn to be touching him
The fire is there, but where is the warmth?
Look at me, don't you think we fit beautifully together?
Look at us, can't you see how we shine?
When you look at us, do you notice I'm shivering?
The weather is fine, but where is the warmth?
Since I grow feverish with the flush that comes every time he holds me
Naturally, you'd suppose I'd be warm when I'm hot
Well, I'm not
And just look at me, you'd think this the cruellest of Decembers
Look at me, you would think we had snow
Then he looks at me, and for a moment I melt again
The embers do glow, but Oh!
Where is the warmth?
When I look at him, how I burn to be touching him
The fire is there, but where is the warmth?
Since I grow feverish with the flush that comes every time he holds me
Naturally, you'd suppose I'd be warm when I'm hot
Well, I'm not
And just look at me, you would think this the cruellest of Decembers
Look at me, you would think we had snow
Then he looks at me, and for a moment I melt again
The embers do glow, but Oh!
Where is the warmth?
The fire is there, but where is the warmth?

Alguien (Raphael)
Alguien
Performer(s): Raphael
Alguien que te entrega vida, alma y corazón
Y que nada en cambio va a pedir
Alguien para quien tú eres razón de su existir
Alguien que se muere sin tu amor
Alguien que en la palma de sus manos escondió
Miles de caricias para ti
Ese alguien soy yo, ese alguien soy yo, nadie más
Si no me crees, te desafío
A ver quién sabe amar mejor
A ver quién quiere más
Quién quiere a otro más
Seguro que te gano yo
Alguien que ha jurado no olvidarte ante una cruz
Cueste lo que cueste, serte fiel
Alguien que ahora llora o ríe, tal como hagas tú
Porque ha puesto en ti toda su fe
Alguien que a la hora de su muerte, ya verás
Es tu nombre lo que gritará
Ese alguien soy yo, ese alguien soy yo, nadie más

Where is the love
You said you’d give to me
Soon as you were free
Will it ever be
Where is the love
You told me that you didn’t love him
And you were gonna say goodbye
But if you really didn’t mean it
Why did you have to lie
Where is the love
You said was mine all mine
Till the end of time
Was it just a lie
Where is the love
If you have had a sudden change of heart
I wish that you would tell me so
Don’t leave me hangin’ on to promises
You’ve got to let me know
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Oh, how I wish I never met you
I guess it must have been my fate
To fall in love with someone else’s love
All I can do is wait
That’s all I can do, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sé que estoy en la fila
Hasta que te decidas
A pasar una noche conmigo
Y si nos fuéramos a bailar
sé que puede ocurrir
que no te vayas conmigo
Y más tarde
quedarnos en un lugar tranquilo
y tomar un trago o dos
Y luego lo arruino todo
diciendo algo tonto
como "Te quiero"
Puedo verlo en tus ojos
Que desprecias
las mismas viejas mentiras
que escuchaste la noche anterior
Y aunque esta es un fila para tí
Para mí es verdad
Y nunca pareció tan real antes
Practico día a día
Para hallar frases inteligentes
Que muestren el significado
Pero luego pienso en esperar
hasta que llegue la noche
y me quede a solas contigo
El momento es el indicado
tu perfume envuelve mi cabeza
las estrellas se enrojecen y
oh, la noche es tan azul
Y luego lo arruino todo
diciendo algo tonto
como "Te quiero" ...
Te quiero ... Te quiero
Te quiero ... Te quiero

Where Is My Wandering Girl Tonight?
Where Is My Wandering Girl Tonight?
Composer(s): Dave Manley
The scene is a lonely cottage that once was bright and gay
Where a mother dear is waiting for the girl that went away
Each minute seemed an hour, each hour seems a year
each moment brings a thought of her
each thought just brings a tear
Tears mingle with her sighs
Where is my girl she cries
Just think of you darling mother
Just think of her tonight
Return if you are wandering
Her love is your guiding light
No matter what the past dear
No matter what the shame
What even if the world does jeer
She loves you just the same
Leave all the glare and light
She prays for you tonight
Where is my wandering girl tonight
Oh where oh where can she be
She left the old home for the bright city lights
Please send her back to me
Tell her I am growing old
And I soon will pass away
For there's no place like home
Oh where is my girlie my child tonight

Algo Más Que Un Amigo
Algo Más Que Un Amigo
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael
Algo más que un amigo
Era yo para ti
Era yo para ti
Algo más que un amigo
Algo más que un amigo
Tú lo sabes muy bien
No lo quieras fingir
No comprendo por qué
Los amigos no lloran
Cuando un día el destino
Separa sus vidas
Y yo te vi llorar
Cuando nos despedimos
Algo más que una simple amistad
Porque tú me besabas
Con algo que llaman amor de verdad
Algo más que una simple amistad
Porque a veces hablando
Veía en tus ojos la felicidad
Algo más, mucho más
Algo más que un amigo
Los amigos no saben
Los grandes secretos
Que yo oí de tu voz
Algo más que un amigo
Los amigos no pasan
Las noches que juntos
Pasamos tú y yo
Los amigos no lloran
Cuando un día el destino
Separa sus vidas
Y yo te vi llorar
Cuando nos despedimos

Where Is My Castle
Where Is My Castle
Composer(s): Dallas Frazier
Performer(s): Connie Smith;
Dallas Frazier; Kitty Wells
More than once I've cried because impatience let me down
I could see the gold before the gold was found
And everytime I've trusted love to lead me by the hand
It circled back and left me where I stand
Where is my castle
where is my destiny
how much longer will I have to dream
Where is my sunshine
where is my valley
where is the love that's meant for me
The next time I cross over that old bridge I'm gonna stay
I don't care if the river washes it away
'Cause I'm not gonna take one step until the day I find
A man with a faithful heart and a made up mind
Where is my castle...

Alfie
((Swedish Version: Alfie (by Sylvia Vrethammar) - 1969))
Composer(s): Burt Baccharach - Hal David
First release by: Cilla Black - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie
then I guess it's wise to be cruel
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie
I know there's something much more
something even non-believers can believe in
I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love we just exist, Alfie
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie
When you walk let your heart lead the way
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie
