1959
1959
Composer(s): Gary Gentry
Performer(s): John Anderson
Cigarettes were a quarter then
bobby socks and jeans were in
Elvis sang the songs that we loved so
and the most important thing to us
was keeping gas in my old truck
so I could take us to the drive-in show
Then graduation finally came
Uncle Sam called me away
you married someone else while I was gone
but I've kept your letter all these years
and I can't help but shed a tear
when I read the words you wrote me years ago
Baby I'm yours
I'll love you always
I'm gonna stand by you until the end of time
remember all of the good things that we shared together
signed
love Betty
nineteen fifty nine
I never will forget the day
when you and I went all the way
I was the first for you
and you for me
I've still got the truck that we loved in
it takes me back there now and then
back to fifty nine in my memory
Repeat Chorus

Man In Black
Man In Black
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
Originally performed by: Johnny Cash
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black
Why you never see bright colors on my back
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
But is there because he's a victim of the times
I wear the black for those who never read
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
About the road to happiness through love and charity
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me
Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black
I wear it for the sick and lonely old
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men
And, I wear it for the thousands who have died
Believen' that the Lord was on their side
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died
Believen' that we all were on their side
Well, there's things that never will be right I know
And things need changin' everywhere you go
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right
You'll never see me wear a suit of white
Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day
And tell the world that everything's OK
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black

1960
1960
Composer(s): Gerry Beckley
Performer(s): America
How 'bout a tear for the year of 1960
I watched the fins of the Cadillac fall
I remember Dad explained about the Berlin Wall
How 'bout a tear for the torment and the trouble
That was brewing in the Asian way
I wore a smile like the faces that surround L.A.
In the city of the lost and found
It's hard to get a break
Hard to stop from getting turned around
And make the same mistakes
My reputation's on the line
The final day of '59
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso
I practiced 61 minutes a day
I could never reach the keys
But it was all OK
How 'bout a cheer for the humour in my brother
That could brighten up the darkest nights
It's just another sign of love
Whenever we would fight
It's all the same twenty years ago
As it is right now
Like a tour at the closing show
When I take my bow
My reputation's on the line
At the start of '79
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
I've played this part so many times
Since the end of '59
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today

Man Full Of Yesterdays
Man Full Of Yesterdays
Performer(s): David Byron
He wanted to go to the sun
He wanted to swim in the rain
He waisted his time
Drinking whisky and wine
But now he's come back again
He's tried so hard to forget
What others would make him regret
But if I were he I'd listen to me
And keep myself in my head
Keep myself in my head ...
A man full of yesterdays
Climbing the ladder once again
But he can feel the strain
He's got to make it through
Forget the mistakes of his youth
He's come back again ...
A man full of yesterdays
Climbing the ladder once again
But he can feel the strain

1964
Composer(s): Piazzola; Borges
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Ya no sere felíz
tal vez no importa
hay tantas otras cosas
en el mundo
un instante cualquiera
es mas profundo
y diverso que el mar
La vida es corta
y aunque las horas son tan largas
una oscura maravilla
nos asecha
la muerte, ese otro mar
esa otra flecha
que nos libra del sol
y de la luna y del amor
La dicha que me diste
y me quitaste
deben ser borradas
lo que era todo tiene
que ser nada
solo me queda el goce
de estar triste
Esa vana costumbre
que me inclina al sur
a cierta puerta, a cierta esquina

Man From Galilee
Composer(s): Joe Isaacs
Performer(s): Ralph Stanley
Well do you know that man that rode on the mule
Do you know that man that rode on the mule
Do you know that man that rode on the mule
He's the same man from down in Galilee
He's the same man from down in Galilee
Well do you know that man that walked on the water
Do you you know that man that healed the leper man
Do you know that man that rode on the mule
He's the same man from down in Galilee
He's the same man from down in Galilee
I'm glad I know that man that walked on the water
I'm glad I know that man that healed the leper man
I'm glad I know that man that rode on the mule
He's the same man from down in Galilee
He's the same man from down in Galilee
Well now he's a different man that walked on the water
He's a different man that healed the leper man
He's a different man that rode on the mule
He's the same man from down in Galilee
He's the same man from down in Galilee
Well do you know that man that rode on the mule
Do you know that man that rode on the mule
Do you know that man that rode on the mule
He's the same man from down in Galilee
He's the same man from down in Galilee

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

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

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

T'es notre starting-block
Pour la course dans l'époque!

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, Mamy blue, oh 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

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

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)
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

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

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, 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!
