Feelin' low
Rockin' slow
I want to go
Right back where I belong
Way down south in Birmingham
I mean south in Alabam'
There's an old place where people go
To dance the night away
They all drive or walk for miles
To get jive that southern style
It's an old jive that makes you want
To dance till break of day
It's a junction where the town folks meet
At each function in a tux they greet you
Come on down, forget your care
Come on down, you'll find me there
So long town, I'm heading for
Tuxedo Junction now
Feelin' low
Rockin' slow
I want to go
Right back where I belong
Way down south in Birmingham
I mean south in Alabam'
There's an old place where people go
To dance the night away
They all drive or walk for miles
To get jive that southern style
It's an old jive that makes you want
To dance till break of day
It's a junction where the town folks meet
At each function in a tux they greet you
Come on down, forget your care
Come on down, you'll find me there
So long town, I'm heading for
Tuxedo Junction now

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say
I wish you bluebirds in the Spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this I wish you love
And in July, a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health and more than wealth, I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best, I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you bluebirds in the Spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this I wish you love
And in July, a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health and more than wealth, I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best, I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love

and various other artists
Hey girl what ya doin' down there
Dancin' alone every night while I live right above you
I can hear your music playin'
I can feel your body swayin'
One floor below me you don't even know me
I love you
Oh my darling
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show
If you look out your window tonight
Pull in the string with the note that's attached to my heart
Read how many times I saw you
How in my silence I adored you
Only in my dreams did that wall between us come apart
Oh my darling
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show
I can hear your music playin'
I can feel your body swayin'
One floor below me you don't even know me
I love you
Oh my darling
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show

Chissà cosa mormora il vento
stasera col suo lamento
dietro la porta laggiù
Di già il caminetto s'é spento
io chiudo gli occhi e rammento
gli amori di gioventù
Di voi che resta antichi amori
giorni di festa teneri ardori
solo una mesta
foto ingiallita fra le mie dita
Di voi che resta sguardi innocenti
lacrime e risa e giuramenti
solo sepolto in un cassetto qualche biglietto
Sere d'aprile sogni incantati
capelli al vento baci rubati
che resta dunque di tutto ciò ditemi un pò
Rivedo un viso mormoro un nome
ma non ricordo quando né come
penso a un villaggio dove non so se tornerò
Mai più mano con mano nel buio
stupiti d'essere due felici senza perché
Mai più fiori nascosti nel libro
il cui profumo ci inebria ma presto evapora ahimé
Di voi che resta antichi amori
grandi segreti complici cuori
solo nel petto male guarita una ferita
Di voi che resta parole audaci carezze caste timide braci
solo una cenere che più non fuma ma si consuma
Chiari di luna dolci sentieri e tu perduta anima di ieri
perché sparisti chi ti rubò dimmelo un pò
Solo un motivo risento ancora d'un fuggitivo disco d'allora
e a un luogo penso dove non so se tornerò

Knock, Knock, Who's There?
Knock, Knock, Who's There?
Composer(s): John Carter; Stephens
First performance by: Mary Hopkin - 1970
Tears of rain run down my window pane
I'm on my own again good ev'ning sorrow
Sit and dream of how things might have been
And as I close my eyes I get the strangest feeling
Climb the stair and then I say a pray'r
For someone who could share my situation
But instead as I lay down my head
I have to leave it all to my imagination
Refrain:
Knock
knock who's there ?
Could this be love that's calling
The door is always open wide
Knock
knock who's there ?
Now as the night is falling
Take off your coat and come inside

I Wish You Could Have Turned My Head (And Left My Heart Alone)
I Wish You Could Have Turned My Head (And Left My Heart Alone)
Composer(s): Sonny Throckmorton
Performer(s): Oak Ridge Boys; T.G. Sheppard
I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone
Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong
You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong
I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone
The first time I laid eyes on you, got caught up in your sway
I thought I didn't have a chance and then you looked my way
From the longing to the loving, girl, we've made it all the way
But for all the hunger in my eyes, my heart has had to pay
I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone
Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong
You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong
I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone
I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone
Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong
You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong
I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

Mama, take this badge up from me
I can't use it any more
It's getting dark, too dark to see
Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Mama, wipe the blood from my face
I'm sick and tired of the war
Got that old black feeling and it's out to trace
Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door ...
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them any more
Heaven's old black train is a-pullin' on down
Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door ...
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ...
Mama, take this badge up from me

Tutti All'infreno
Tutti All'infreno
Composer(s): Antonello Venditti
Performer(s): Antonello Venditti
"Pentiti, suddito pentiti, hai fatto tanto hai fatto pure troppo
adesso restituisci sto malloppo
Cazzo"
L'avevo detto che questo mondo non era perfetto
ma qui tra il dare e l'avere i conti non tornano ancora
La nostra storia non è soltanto una grande piovra
ci vogliono un cuore, due mai e tre palle per vivere ancora
E giacca e cravatta nell'azzurro te ne vai
oh, è il nuovo che avanza, non lo senti il suo chiamare
sei già nella lista del clan di Belzebù
tutti all'inferno del fuoco eterno
e poi giù, giù, giù, giù
giù, giù, giù, giù
giù, giù, giù, giù
Buon giorno amore, oh, fuori c'è il sole
è bello restarsene ancora abbracciati sotto le lenzuola
Fuori c'è Roma, e una domenica di primavera
andremo a passeggio per le strade del centro fino a piazza Navona
Ma giacca e cravatta da domani te ne andrai
oh, è il nuovo che avanza, non lo senti il suo viavai
sei già nella lista del clan di Belzebù
tutti alla festa, la grande festa
ancora più giù, giù, giù, giù
giù, giù, giù, giù
giù, giù, giù, giù
giù, giù, giù, giù
L'avevo detto che questo mondo non era perfetto
ma qui tra il dare e l'avere i conti non tornano ancora
non tornano ancora, non tornano ancora
non tornano ancora, non tornano ancora...

I Wish You Could Be Here
I Wish You Could Be Here
Composer(s): Paul Simon; Bruce Woodley
Performer(s): The Seekers; The Cyrkle; The Sons of Champlin
Looking from my window
On the freshly fallen snow
That sparkles as it tumbles
Upon the streets below
And the crackle of the fire
Is laughing in my ear
And the room is warm and sleepy
Oh, I wish you could be here
Sundays in this town
There's not a lot for me to do
I've been listening to some records
But my thoughts return to you
Oh, I try to read the paper
But the words aren't very clear
And I know there's something missing
I wish you could be here
I keep listening for your footsteps
Or the key turned in the door
I sure could use your company
But I've said all that before
And the winter's going to last
A long time this year
I've got lots of empty time to fill
And I wish you could be here

Knocking At Your Back Door
Knocking At Your Back Door
Composer(s): Ian Gillan; Ritchie Blackmore; Roger Glover
Performer(s): Deep Purple
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The log was in my pocket
When Lucy met the rockett
She never knew the reason why
I can't deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh it's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
It's not against the law
The point of no return
An' now you know the score
An' now you're learning
Aha, what's knockin' at your back door
Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pantry
We had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At her city club
Were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
And now she eases gently
From her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young
I can't deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh it's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
No it's not against the law
The point of no return
Now you know the score
An' now you're learning
Aha, what's knockin' at your back door
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And one of us could reach that high
I can't deny it
With that smile on my face
Oh it's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming, knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
Now it's knockin' at your door
Aha, knockin' at your back door

Knocking Nails Into My House
Knocking Nails Into My House
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
Performer(s): Ambrose Slade; The Idle Race
This house is mine but the men they say it's not
You see this house is the only place I've got
Running round they work so hard and fast
But they don't know my house is built to last
Chorus
Here comes a man, in a van
He's looking very angry at me
They're knocking nails into walls, hoho, my walls
They run and hide as the only ceiling falls
Glee for leave they gather in my shed
They gone for now so I can ease my head
They're knocking nails into my house
They're knocking nails into my house
They work so hard, all it's left is my sunroof
There goes a wall, oh I think I spoke too soon
They're knocking nails into my house
They're knocking nails into my house
They're knocking nails into my house
Look out!

Tus Regalos Deberían De Llegar
Tus Regalos Deberían De Llegar
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez
Epifánico silencio a la hora del amar
tus ensueños ya se hicieron a la mar
un extracto del perfume del dolor
tus muñecas boca arriba y hacia el sol
tus regalos deberían de llegar
los elefantas locos, el vestido, el ajuar
caminando en la neblina
que disipa el corazón
los milagros en tu cuerpo ya serán
las violetas de tu sangre vivirán
sobre un río enamorado y en su andar
Tus regalos deberían de llegar
las velas, las vajillas y tu felicidad
y no sabes si detenerte o llover
y parada sobre el mundo a tus pies
tu sonrisa que nos hace pensar
tiembla el mundo que no entiende al final
ese beso de la vida
la sutil melancolía
el momento cuando piras
los espacios donde miras
y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran
y otra vez en la secuencia
de los pétalos que caen
se descubren los misterios del azar
y las manos que se encuentran en la flor
la bestial naturaleza del amor
tus regalos deberían de llegar
si todo se termina
todo vuelve a empezar
la mañana que se viene
es una vieja sensación
que refleja los espejos del tiempo
y la niña acurrucada en el rincón
es la chica contra la furia de Dios
tus regalos deberían de llegar
no es mucho lo que tengo para darte, mira
Y no sabes si detenerte o llover
y parada sobre el mundo a tus pies
tu sonrisa que nos hace temblar
tiembla el mundo
que no entiende al final
ese beso de la vida
la sutil melancolía
el momento cuando piras
los espacios donde miras
y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran
y tus regalos deberían de llegar
y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran

I Wish It Would Rain
Composer(s): Roger Penzabene; Barrett Strong; Norman Whitfield
First release by: The Temptations - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Hmmm
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another and gone away
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day, I stayed locked up in my room
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain
(How I wish that it would rain)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause so badly I wanna go outside
(Such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't suppose to cry, listen
I gotta cry 'cause cryin' eases the pain, oh yeah
People this hurt I feel inside, words can never explain
I just wish it would rain
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Oh, let it rain
Rain, rain, rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooo, baby
Let it rain.
(Let it rain)
Oh yeah, let it rain
Day in, day out, my tear stained face
Pressed against the window pane
My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know
That I'm cryin'... cryin' when I go outside
To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain
Oh, I wish it would rain
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooo, baby
Let it rain, let it rain
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes
Oh, let it rain
Oh, yeah, yeah listen
I'm a man and I got my pride
Give me rain or I'm gonna stay inside
Let it rain
(Let it rain)
(Let it (rain) (rain) (rain) rain, rain)

Knocking 'Round The Zoo
Knocking 'Round The Zoo
Composer(s): James Taylor
Performer(s): James Taylor
Just knocking around the zoo
on a Thursday afternoon
There's bars on all the windows
and they're counting up the spoons
And if I'm feeling edgy
there's a chick who's paid to be my slave
But she'll hit me with a needle
if she thinks I'm trying to misbehave
Now the keeper's trying to cool me says I'm bound to be alright
But I know that he can't fool me 'cause I'm putting him uptight
And I can feel him getting edgy every time I make a sudden move
And I can hear them celebrating every time I up and leave the room
Now my friends all came to see me they point at me and stare
Said he's just like the rest of us so what's he doing in there
They hide in their movie theaters drinking juice-keeping tight
'Cause they're certain about one thing that zoo's no place to spend the night
Just knocking around the zoo on a Thursday afternoon
There's bars on all the windows and they're counting up the spoons
And if I'm feeling edgy there's a chick who's paid to be my slave
But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks I'm trying to misbehave
