1969
Composer(s): Dave Alexander
Performer(s): Iggy Pop



Well it's 1969 okay
All across the USA
It's another year For me and you
Another year With nothin' to do
Last year I was 21
I didn't have a lot of fun
And now I'm gonna be 22
I say oh my and boo hoo
Now I'm gonna be 22
I say oh my and boo hoo
It's 1969 okay
All across the USA
It's another year
For me and you
Another year
With nothin' to do
Another year
With nothin' to do
It's 1969 baby

Man And Woman


Man And Woman
Composer(s): Jay Livingstone; Ray Evans
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney & Bing Crosby



Both:
A man or a woman, we all will agree
To make life worth living is necessary

Rosemary:
A man is a creature we can’t overlook
As easy to read as a page in a book
He’ll boast and he’ll brag of the women he spurned
But just like a doorknob his head can be turned

Uh huh, (uh-huh), mm-mm, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh)

A man oh a man any woman will say
Whatever he is, we like him that way

Bing:
A woman is something both evil and good
But too complicated to be understood
An angel when loving, a devil when mad
A woman can make you both happy and sad

(Mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm

A woman, a woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she’s necessary

Rosemary:
Complains that he’s henpecked and treated so bad
But if he’s ignored, then he’ll holler like mad
He knows all the methods of landing a fish
But still can’t be trusted at drying a dish

Uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm)
A man, oh a man, any woman will say
Whatever he is, we like him that way

Bing:
Afraid of a cricket, she’ll scream at a mouse
But she’ll tackle a husband as big as a house
She’ll take him for better, she’ll take him for worse
She’ll bust his head open and then be his nurse

(Uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-uh, (uh-huh),uh-huh

Both:
A man or a woman, we all will agree
To make life worth living is necessary

Composer(s): Mick Jones; Joe Strummer
Performer(s): The Clash



In 1977 I hope I go to heaven
'Cos I been too long on the dole
And I can't work at all

Danger stranger
You better paint your face
No Elvis, Beatles, or The Rolling Stones
In 1977

In 1977
Knives in west 11
Lent so lucky to be rich
Sten guns in Knightsbridge

Danger stranger
You better paint your face
No Elvis, Beatles or The Rolling Stones
In 1977

In 1977
You're on the never never
You think it can't go on forever
But the papers say it's better
I don't care 'cos I'm not all there
No Elvis, Beatles or The Rolling Stones

In 1977
Sod the jubilee
In 1978
In 1979
Stayed in bed
In 1980

The toilet don't work

Here come the police

Man


Man
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



Man stands in all his glory
Sitting at the crossroads of the same old story
Man got his make-up, wears it like a mask
Hides inside a child, lives inside a glass
Man breathes his own deceit
Man worships his own defeat

Oh I'm a man, I know what it feels like
I'm a man, working on the living part of life
You see through me, I understand
But don't lose hope if you can
Have a little faith in man

Shakespeare's men got all the lines
Modern man lives back in time
Man got bravado in his big steel hands
Runs with the wolf, sleeps with the lamb
Man falls, cuts and bleeds
Man stumbles on his own belief

He's the hoax behind the thrill
The poison arrow, the bitter pill
Hard to swallow, hard to kill, hard to understand
He's the light behind the hill
The broken promise, the iron will
Hard to kill, hard to understand

Composer(s): Pierre Rapsat
Performer(s): Pierre Rapsat



Premiers bruits
Des poubelles
Pour les villes
Au réveil
Tu sors de ta nuit!

Premiers mots
Au café
Au métro...
"Année 80"
T'as vraiment pas la gueule
Des imaginations
Des vieux livres science-fiction!

Tu n'as pas plein de spoutnick, d'androïdes
On fabrique pas des soucoupes chez Plymouth
On dîne pas aux pilules
On vit pas dans des bulles!

"1980"
Tu es cet écran
Où sont projetés
Nos espoirs-succès
Amours en question
Et nouvelles chansons!

Tous les plans d'une paix
Qui dorment empagés
Départs de folie
Pour Gallipolli!
De nouveaux romans
De nouveaux présidents

En flash-backs
Tu nous rassures
Pour le futur
Dans le lin
Le strass et Chopin!

Les journaux imprimeront
Nos jours sous ton nom!
Malgré les machines
Les enfants feront
Encore sur leurs doigts
Toutes leurs additions!

Les autruches ne gouvernent pas notre terre
On fait pas nos lunes de miel en stellaire!
Pas de Club sur Pluton
On n'est pas des mutants!

"1980"
Malgré l'synthétique
On rêvera encore
En films, en musiques
On fera l'amour
Mais non-télépathique!

Décomprime
Nos envies, nos déprimes
"1980"
T'es notre starting-block
Pour la course dans l'époque!
"1980"
T'as notre starting-block

Mamy Blue
Composer(s): Hubert Giraud; H. Pagani
Performer(s): Dalida



Oh Mamy, Mamy
Dove sei Mamy
Oh Mamy, Mamy, Mamy blue
Oh Mamy blue

Inestre chiuse sulla via
ha spento gli occhi casa mia
E da che parte andro non so
Più
A sedici anni ero già
Ferita dalla realtà
E mi sentivo sempre più
Giù

Oh Mamy
Oh Mamy, Mamy
Dove sei Mamy
Oh Mamy, Mamy, Mamy blue
oh Mamy, Mamy blue, oh Mamy blue

Trovavo sempre in braccio a te
Risposta a tutti i miei perché
Ma adesso non risponderai
Più
Incontro al mio destino andro
La direzione non la so
Il primo treno e saliro
Su

Oh Mamy
Oh Mamy, Mamy blue, oh Mamy blue
Oh Mamy, Mamy
Oh Mamy, oh Mamy, Mamy blue
Oh Mamy blue
Dove sei Mamy
Oh Mamy, oh Mamy, Mamy blue, oh Mamy blue
Oh Mamy, Mamy, Mamy blue
Oh Mamy, Mamy blue
Oh Mamy blue

Un giorno tu m'hai detto sai
Col primo amore te ne andrai
E invece sei fuggita tu
Tu
Finestre chiase sulla via
Ha spento gli occhi casa mia
Neanche io ci tornero
Più

Oh Mamy
Oh Mamy, Mamy blue, oh Mamy blue
Oh Mamy
Oh Mamy, Mamy blue, oh Mamy blue
Oh Mamy, oh Mamy, Mamy blue
Oh Mamy blue
Oh Mamy, Mamy
Oh Mamy, oh Mamy blue, ohmamy blue
Dove sei mamy
Oh mamy, oh mamy, mamy blue, oh mamy blue
Oh mamy, mamy, mamy blue
Oh mamy, mamy blue
Oh mamy blue
Oh mamy, mamy, mamy blue
Oh mamy, mamy blue

1981


1981
Performer(s): John Lydon



I could be desperate
I think I'm brave
Could stay and watch you
(repeat)

You gave me nothing, an early grave
I'm vegetating. I want more, more, more
I want everything in 1981

Anywhere, any place will do
I'm leaving England
We're near the ending
You gave me nothing
No more pretending
I'm looking forward to our parting in 1981, 1981

We're near the ending
I'm just pretending
It's all been said before

I want more, more, more in 1981, 1981, 1981
You gave me nothing
I want more, more, more
I want everything in 1981
I'm leaving England
We're near the ending
You gave me nothing
No more pretending

1981, 1981, 1981, 1981, 1981, 1981
I want everything in 1981
1981, 1981
I want everything in 1981

Mamy Blue (English Version)


Mamy Blue
Composer(s): Gefingal; Hubert Giraud
Performer(s): Los Pop Tops



I may be your forgotten son
who wandered off at twenty one
it's sad to find myself at home

oh ma

If I could only hold your hand
and say I'm sorry yes I am
I'm sure you really understand
oh
Ma
where are you now

Oh
Mamy
oh
Mamy - Mamy - blue
oh
Mamy - Blue

The house we shared upon the hill
seems lifeless but it's standing still
and memories of childhood days
fill my mind
oh Mamy
Mamy
Mamy

I've seen enough of different lights
seen tired days and lonely nights
and now without you by my side
I'm lost
how can I survive

Oh
Mamy...

Nobody who takes care of me
who loves me
who has time for me
the walls look silent at my face
oh
Ma
so dead is our place

The sky is dark
the wind is rough
and now I know what I have lost
the house is not a home at all
I'm leaving
the future seems so small

1983 (A Mermaid I Should Turn To Be)


1983 (A Mermaid I Should Turn To Be)
Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix
Performer(s): Jimi Hendrix



Hurray I awake from yesterday
Alive but the war is here to stay
So my love catherina and me
Decide to take our last walk thru the noise to the sea
Not to die but to be reborn
Away from the lands so battred and torn
Forever forever

Oh say can you see it's really such a mess
Every inch of earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lipstick-tube shaped things
Continue to rain and cause screamin' pain
And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red
As our feet find the sand
And the sea is straight ahad
Straight up ahead

Well it's too bad that our friends can't be with us today
Well it's too bad
The machine that we built
Would never save us that's what they say
That's why they ain't comin' with us today
And they also said it's impossible
For a man to live and breathe undrerwater
Forever was a main complaint
Yeah and they also threw this in my face they said
Anyway you know good and well
It would be beyond the will of god
And the grace of the king
Grace of the king
Yeah

Ooo

So my darling and I make love in the sand
To salute the last moment ever on dry land
Our machine it has done it's work played it's part well
Without a scratch on our body when we bid it farewell
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
Before our heads go under we take our last look at the killing noise
Of the out of style
The out of style out of style oh yeah
Oooo

So down and down and down and down we go
Hurry my darlin' we mustn't be late
For the show
Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so my dear
Right this way smiles a mermaid
I can hear atlantis full of cheer
Atlantis full of cheer
I can hear atlantis full of cheer
Oh yeah

Mam'selle


Mam'selle
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Edmond Goulding
Performer(s): The Pied Pipers & Jo Stafford
and various other artists



A small Café‚ Mam'selle, our rendezvous, Mam'selle
The violins were warm and sweet, and so were you Mam'selle
And as the night danced by, a kiss became a sigh
Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle just like wine does
No heart ever yearned the way that mine does for you
And yet I know too well someday you'll say goodbye
Then violins will cry, and so will I Mam'selle

1984
Composer(s): Randy California
Performer(s): Spirit; Nash The Slash



1984
knockin' on your door
will you let it come
will you let it run your life

1984
knockin' on your door
will you let it come
will you let it run your life

someone will be waiting for you at your door
when you get home tonight
ah yes he's gonna tell you darkness gives you much more
than you get from the light
classic plastic guards well they're your special friends
they see you every night
well they call themselves your brothers
but you know it's no game
you're never out of their sight

it's time you started thinking inside your head
that you should stand up and fight
oh where will you be when the freedom must end
just one year from tonight
classic plastic coppers are your special friends
they see you every night
well they call themselves protection
but they know it's no game
you're never out of their sight

I'm gonna run through the jungle
I'm not going to ever come back

Mamma


Mamma
English & French Titles: Mama; Maman
Composer(s): Cesare Andrea Bixio; Bruno Cherubini
Performer(s): Beniamino Gigli
and various other artists



Mamma, son tanto felice
perché ritorno da te
La mia canzone ti dice
ch'è il più bel sogno per me!
Mamma son tanto felice...
Viver lontano perché?

Mamma, solo per te la mia canzone vola
mamma, sarai con me, tu non sarai più sola!
Quanto ti voglio bene!
Queste parole d'amore che ti sospira il mio cuore
forse non s'usano più, mamma!
ma la canzone mia più bella sei tu!
Sei tu la vita
e per la vita non ti lascio mai più!

Sento la mano tua stanca
cerca i miei riccioli d'or
Sento, e la voce ti manca
la ninna nanna d'allor
Oggi la testa tua bianca
io voglio stringere al cuor

Mamma, solo per te la mia canzone vola
mamma, sarai con me, tu non sarai più sola!
Quanto ti voglio bene!
Queste parole d'amore che ti sospira il mio cuore
forse non s'usano più, mamma!
ma la canzone mia più bella sei tu!
Sei tu la vita
e per la vita non ti lascio mai più!
Mamma... mai più!

1999
Composer(s): Sergio Bardotti;
Lucio Dalla; Gian Franco Reverberi
Performer(s): Lucio Dalla



È bruciato
anche l'ultimo fiore
grigio fumo
è il colore del sole
sono solo
in un mondo che tace
finalmente è scoppiata la pace
aspettavo
che venisse il momento
ora parlo
solamente col vento
finalmente
questo mondo è più bello
il fratello
più non odia il fratello
Cosa farò
non lo so
cosa dirò
niente, niente, niente
Son salito
su di un tram che non parte
sto seduto
come sempre in disparte
non mi piace
tutto quello che dico
ho paura
io mi sento nemico
Cosa farò
non lo so
cosa dirò
niente, niente, niente

Composer(s): Hubert Giraud
Originally performed by: Nicoletta
Covered by various other artists



Oh Mamy, oh mamy blue
Oh Mamy blue
Oh Mamy blue
Ou es tu, ou es tu mamy blue
Oh mamy blue
Je suis partie un soir d'été

Sans dire un mot sans t'embrasser
Sans un regard sur le passé
Dès que j'ai franchi la frontière
Le vent soufflait plus fort qu'hier
Quand j'étais près de toi ma mère

Oh Mamy, oh mamy blue
Oh Mamy blue
Oh Mamy blue
Ou es tu, ou es tu mamy blue
Oh mamy blue

Et aujourd'hui je reviens
Ou j'ai refait tout le chemin
Qui m'avait entraîne si loin
Tu n'es plus la pour me sourire
Me réchauffer me recueillir
Et je n'ai plus qu'a repartir

Oh Mamy, oh mamy blue
Oh Mamy blue
Oh Mamy blue
Ou es tu, ou es tu mamy blue
Oh mamy blue
La maison a ferme ses yeux
Le chat et les chiens sont très vieux
Et ils viennent me dire adieu
Je ne reviendrai plus jamais
Dans ce village que j'aimais
Ou tu reposes désormais

Oh Mamy, oh mamy blue
Oh Mamy blue

19th Nervous Breakdown


19th Nervous Breakdown
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



You're the kind of person you meet at certain
Dismal, dull affairs
Center of the crowd, talkin' much too loud
Runnin' up and down the stairs

Well it seems to me that you have seen
Too much in too few years
And though you try you just can't hide
Your eyes are edged with tears

{Refrain}
You better stop and look around
Here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown

{Repeatable verses}
When you were a child you were treated kind
But never brought up right
And you were always spoiled with a thousand toys
But still you cried all night
Your mother who neglected you
Owes a million dollars tax
And your father's still perfecting ways
Of making sealing wax

{Refrain}

{Bridge}
Oh, who's to blame
That girl's just insane
Well nothin' I do don't seem to work
It only seems to make matters worse
Oh, please

Well, you were still in school when you had that fool
Who really messed your mind
And after that you turned your back
On treating people kind

On our first trip I tried so hard
To rearrange your mind
But after a while I realized
You were disarranging mine

{Refrain, Bridge}

{Repeatable verses}

You will stop and look around
Here it comes
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown

M'amie
Composer(s): Robert Chabrier; Jo Moutet
Performer(s): Georges Guétary



Quand tu viens vers moi abandonnée m'amie
Je t'ouvre les bras pour t'embrasser m'amie
Et nous restons là sans nous parler heureux
Amoureux nous dévorant des yeux
Tout pourrait sombrer autour de nous m'amie
L'univers entier ne compterait plus m'amie
Puisque notre amour est plus grand chaque jour
J'ai mon paradis quand j'ai tes yeux m'amie

M'amie... m'amie...

Regarde les fleurs elles sont jolies m'amie
Elles ont un cœur et toi aussi m'amie
Mais quand le jour meurt elles vont se cacher
Pour pleurer des larmes de rosée
Comme elles nous envient car nous avons m'amie
Le jour et la nuit pour nous aimer m'amie
Puisqu'on est si bien, jusqu'au petit matin
Reste dans mes bras on s'aimera
On s'aimera m'amie

Mami
Composer(s): Adrian Abonizio
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Mami
que lástima no pueda llorar
me enseñaron que la tristeza
no hay que mostrar
Mami
que lástima no pueda cantar
cantando uno aleja la locura de los otros
los que te enseñan sis saber

Mami
que lástima la lástima del fin
debe haber una medida que soporte el corazón
y no tengamos que esperar
Mami, te enseñaron con sentencias, cordenadas, ordenadas
con florcitas dibujadas en cuadernos Rivadavia
Mami, ya no creo en nada

Mami
hubo una luna de invierno, la gomina para el pelo
las escarchas en el cielo y la noche el misterio
de unos cuerpos
Mami
te trajeron de una isla, te educaron bajo el sol
luego el mundo se complica y ya nadie te lo explica
por eso es que algunas noches
yo te escucho murmurar
por eso es que algunas noches
yo te escucho que rezás
diciendo Mami

Gooch's Song


Gooch's Song
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
Performer(s): Jane Connell



Agnes Gooch:
With my wings resolutely spread, Missis Burnside
And my old inhibitions shed, Missis Burnside
I did each little thing you said, Missis Burnside
I lived! I lived! I lived!
I altered the drape of a drop of my bodice
And softened the shape of my brow
I followed directions
And made some connections
But what do I do now?
Who'd think this Miss Prim would have opened a window
As far as her whim would allow
And who would suppose it was so hard to close it
Oh, what do I do now?
I polished and I powdered and puffed myself
If life is a banquet I stuffed myself
I had my misgivings, but went on a field trip
To find out what living's about
My thanks for your training
Now I'm not complaining
But you left something out!
Instead of wand'ring on with my lone remorse
I have come back home to complete the course
Oh, what do I do now?
Missis Burnside
I traveled to hell in my new veneer
And look what I got as a souvenir
But still I'll defend you
As guide and instructor
Would I recommend you and how
Although I was leery, I thrived on your theory
That life can be a wow!
You said there's nothing wrong with a harmless smooch
So I'm gonna call him Burnside Gooch
But what do I do now?

Bosom Buddies


Bosom Buddies
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
Performer(s): Angela Lansbury
and various other artists



Vera and Mame:
We'll always be bosom buddies
Friends, sisters and pals
We'll always be bosom buddies
If life should reject you
There's me to protect you

Vera:
If I say that your tongue is vicious

Mame:
If I call you uncouth

Vera and Mame:
It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy
Will sit down and tell you the truth

Vera:
Tho' now and again I'm aware that my candid opinion may sting

Mame:
Tho' often my frank observation might scald
I've been meanin' to tell you for years
You should keep your hair natural like mine

Vera:
If I kept my hair natural like yours, I'd be bald
But darling

Vera and Mame
We'll always be dear companions

Vera:
My crony

Mame:
My mate

Vera and Mame:
We'll always be harmonizing

Vera:
Orphan Annie and Sandy

Vera and Mame:
Like Amos and Andy

Vera:
If I say that your sense of style's as far as off as your youth
It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy
Will tell you the whole stinkin' truth

Mame:
Each time that a critic has written, "Your voice is the voice of a frog!"
Straight to your side to defend you I rush
You know that I'm there ev'ry time that the world makes an unkind remark
When they say "Vera Charles is the world's greatest lush!"
It hurts me!

Vera:
And if I say your fangs are showing
Mame, pull in your claws
It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy
Will notice the obvious flaws!

Mame:
I feel it's my duty to tell you it's time to adjust to your age
You try to be "Peg O' My Heart", when you're "Lady Macbeth"
Exactly how old are you, Vera? The truth!

Vera:
Well, how old do you think?

Mame:
I'd say somewhere in between forty and the death!

Vera and Mame:
But sweetie

Vera:
I'll always be Alice Toklas
If you'll be Gertrude Stein
And tho' I'll admit I've dished you
I've gossiped and gloated
But I'm so devoted

Mame:
And if I say that sex and guts made you into a star
It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy
Will tell you how rotten you are

Vera and Mame:
Just turn your bosom buddy
For aid and affection
For help and direction
For loyalty, love and for sooth!
Remember that who else but a bosom buddy
Will sit down and level
And give you the devil,
Will sit down and tell you the truth!
