Tu Col Tamburino


Tu Col Tamburino
English & French Titles:
Mr. Tambourine Man; L'homme Orchestre
Performer(s): Tito Schipa Jr.
(Originally performed by: Bob Dylan)



Ehi tu col tamburino
Senti vuoi suonare
Non ho sonno e non ho un posto in cui tornare
Ehi tu col tamburino
Ascolta vuoi suonare
Fai nell'alba un suono amico e docilmente verrò

Lo so che con l'incanto
Della notte che scompare
Anche i sogni vanno a mare
E rimango a mani cieche vuote insonni ormai
Ma questa volta è peggio sai
Non so ricominciare
Non ho un nome da invocare
E la strada antica è morta più che mai

Aprimi una strada col tuo magico tintin
Sai mi sembra di sognare
Quando non ti puoi aggrappare
Tenti ma non puoi scappare
Non ti chiedo niente meglio che fuggire via
Son pronto per qualunque cosa
Pronto per svanire
Per lasciarmi scomparire
Dammi un canto da seguire
E sarò tuo lo giuro

Sì c'è un vago riso
A mo' di sviso
In contrappunto al sole
Ma non ti farà alcun male
La sua smania è di vagare
E oltre al cielo non conosce altre frontiere
E se udrai un trottolar di rime
Seguirti nel mattino
A tempo col tuo tamburino
Non voltarti è un clown soltanto
Lui sorride e non sa intanto
Che può udirti ma non ti potrà vedere mai

Cancellami dal cuore
Ogni pensiero annuvolato
Nebbie e resti del passato
Via dagli alberi stregati
Dai germogli intirizziti
Fuori al vento e via lontano
Dal dominio insano di magoni infami
Sì danzare sotto un cielo
Di diamanti e ondeggerà
La mia mano incontro al mare
Sui prosceni d'ogni riva
Le memorie ed i destini
Persi in vortici lontani
Porta l'oggi via con te fino a domani

Ehi tu col tamburino
Senti vuoi suonare
Non ho sonno e non ho un posto in cui tornare
Ehi tu col tamburino
Ascolta vuoi suonare
Fai nell'alba un suono amico e docilmente verrò

Go The Distance


Go The Distance
Composer(s): Alan Menken
Performer(s): Michael Bolton;
and various other artists



I have often dreamed
Of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome
Would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know every mile
Will be worth my while
When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though that road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime
But somehow I'll see it through

And I won't be looking back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star
I will go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its harms
I don't care how far
I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...

I will search the world
I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms

Tangled In Love


Tangled In Love
Composer(s): Marcy Levy - Richard Feldman
Performer(s): Eric Clapton



A modern man with an old-fashioned heart
One look at her and I fell apart
I was always the one playing it cool
I got caught in the act, now there's no turning back

I got tangled in love, tangled in love
I got tangled in love, tangled in love
I got caught up, bought up, strangled, tangled in love
I got tangled in love, tangled in love

A long black dress and the call of the wild
I was a fool to think she was just a child
Out of my mind, out of control
Knew that feeling too well, tried to run but I fell

I got tangled in love, tangled in love
I got tangled in love, tangled in love
I got caught up, bought up, strangled, tangled in love
I got tangled in love, tangled in love

I never meant to feel this way
Now I always want to stay...

I got tangled in love, tangled in love
I got tangled in love, tangled in love
I got caught up, bought up, strangled, tangled in love
I got tangled in love, tangled in love

I got tangled in love, tangled in love
I got tangled in love, tangled in love
I got tangled in love, tangled in love
I got tangled in love, tangled in love

Go Rest High On That Mountain


Go Rest High On That Mountain
Composer(s): Vince Gill
Performer(s): Bill Gaither;
and various other artists



I know your life on earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You're no stranger to the rain

Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

Oh how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels' faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

Tangerine


Tangerine
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Victor Schertzinger
First recording/First release by: Vaughn Monroe & his Orch. - 1941/Jimmy Dorsey & His Orch. - 1942
Covered by multiple other artists



(Male)
Tangerine - she is all they claim
With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame
Tangerine – when she dances by
Senoritas stare and caballeros sigh
And I’ve seen toasts to Tangerine
Raised in every bar across the Argentine
Yes – she has them all on the run
But her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine

(Female)
Tangerine – she is all they say
With mascara’d eyes, and chapeaux by Dache
Tangerine with her lips of flame
If the colour keeps, Louis Philippe’s to blame
And I’ve seen clothes on Tangerine
Where the label says from Macy’s Mezzanine
Yes, she’s got the guys in a whirl
But she’s only fooling one girl
She’s only fooling Tangerine

Mr. Tambourine Man


Mr. Tambourine Man
French & Italian Titles:
L'homme Orchestre; Tu Col Tamburino
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Originally performed by: Bob Dylan
Covered by various other artists



Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning
I'll come following you

Take me for a trip upon your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip
And my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering

I'm ready to go anywhere I'm ready for to fade
On to my own parade cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it

Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning
I'll come following you

Go On With The Wedding


Go On With The Wedding
Composer(s): Milt Gabler;
Arthur Korb; Charles Purvis; Milton Yakus
Performer(s): Patti Page; Kitty Kallen



Go on with the wedding
Don't bother 'bout me
Let me be forgotten
Or just a memory
I'll love you, dear, always
But he loves you, too
So go on with the wedding
God bless both of you

(spoken)
I hadn't seen Jim in years
He'd been reported dead
Though Jim was my true love
I soon would marry Fred
The wedding march was beginning
When Jim appeared that day
With a cry, I ran to him
But they all heard Jim say....

We've already said...
"Goodbye"
Since you gotta go
Oh, you had better go now
Go now, go now, go now
Before you see me cry

I want you to tell me
Just what you intend to do now
'Cause how many times
Do I have to tell you, darlin', darlin'
I'm still in love with you now

We've already said...
"So long"
I don't want to see you go
Oh, you had better go now

Telling me that you really don't want me to end this way
'Cause darlin, darlin'
Can't you see I want you to stay?

Tända En Sticka Till


Tända En Sticka Till
Composer(s): Per Gessle
Performer(s): Per Gessle



Jag har en vän som jag kan gå till
när det är tyst och det är sent
när allt jag har har rasat ner framför mig
och förvandlat mig till nåt jag inte är
Hon säger du, vi är varandras vingar
Du flyger mig precis dit jag vill

Tända en sticka till
Tända en sticka till
Tända en sticka till
och lysa för nån annan

Jag har en vän, ni vet inte vem jag menar
Hon är lika skär som ditt finaste strå
men hon är stark som junis första solsken
när hon ser på mig och säger jag förstår
Du tror du är så unik på denna jord
men jag behöver dig som du behöver mig

Att tända en sticka till
Tända en sticka till
Tända en sticka till
och lysa för nån annan

Tända en sticka till
Tända en sticka till
Tända en sticka till
och lysa för nån annan

Mr. Soul


Mr. Soul
Composer(s): Neil Young
Originally performed by: Buffalo Springfield
Covered by various other artists



Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on

I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said, You're strange, but don't change, and I let her

In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster?
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change?
I don't know, why don't you ask her?

Go Like Elijah


Go Like Elijah
Composer(s): Chi Coltrane
Performer(s): Chi Coltrane



Someday my time will come
When that will be, I do not know
I only know that when I have to go
Yeah, when I go-- I want to go
Just let me go-- Lord, when I go
I want to go like Elijah when I go
I want to rise right up to the sky
And ride white roses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologise
Just let me go-- Lord when I go
When my time comes for me to go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go
I don't want no tombstone above my head
And I don't want no pinebox for my bed
And I don't want anyone to say I'm dead
I don't want no-one crying
Or feeling sad
Or standing in the rain without their hat
I want to go happy-- Imagine that
Yeah, when I go-- I want to go
Just let me go-- Lord, when I go
I want to go like Elijah when I go
I want to rise right up to the sky
And ride white roses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologise
Just let me go-- Lord when I go
When my time comes for me to go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go

Mr. Snow


Mr. Snow (aka When I Marry Mr. Snow)
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Barbara Ruick & Shirley Jones
and various other artists



Carrie:
Julie, I've been bustin' to tell you somethin' lately

Julie:
You have?

Carrie:
The reason I didn't care to tell you before is
'cause you didn't have a fella of your own
Hmm hmm...
But now that you got one, I can tell you about mine!

Julie:
I'm glad you gotta fella, Carrie!

Carrie:
His name is Mister Snow
And an upstandin' man is he
He comes home ev'ry night in his round-bottomed boat
With a net full of herring from the sea

An almost perfect beau
As refined as a girl could wish
But he spends so much time in his round-bottomed boat
That he can't seem to lose the smell of fish

The fust time he kissed me, the whiff from his clo'es
Knocked me flat on the floor of the room
But now that I love him, my heart's in my nose
And fish is my fav'rite perfume

Last night he spoke quite low
And a fair-spoken man is he
And he said, "Miss Pipperidge, I'd like it fine
If I could be wed with a wife
And, indeed, Miss Pipperidge, if you'll be mine
I'll be yours fer the rest of my life"

Next moment we were promised
And now my mind's in a maze
Fer all I ken do is look forward to
That wonderful day of days...

When I marry Mister Snow
The flowers'll be buzzin' with the hum of bees
The birds'll make racket in the churchyard trees
When I marry Mister Snow

Then it's off to home we'll go
And both of us'll look a little dreamy-eyed
A drivin' to a cottage by the oceanside
Where the salty breezes blow

He'll carry me 'cross the threshold
And I'll be as meek as a lamb
Then he'll set me on my feet
And I'll say kinda sweet, "Well, Mister Snow, here I am!"

Then I'll kiss him so he'll know
That evry'thin'll be as right as right ken be
A-livin' in a cottage by the sea with me
For I love that Mister Snow

That young seafarin',
Bold and darin',
Big bewhiskered, overbearin'
Darling, Mister Snow!

Reprise:

Girls:
When you walk down the isle all the heads will turn
What a rustlin' of bonnets there'll be
And you'll try to smile, but your cheeks will burn
And your eyes'll get so dim you can hardly see

With your orange blossoms quiverin' in your hand
And you'll stumble to the spot where the parson is
Then your finger will be ringed with a golden band
And you'll know the feller's yours, and you are his

Carrie:
When I marry Mister Snow
The flowers'll be humming with the hum of bees
The birds'll make a racket in the churchyard trees
When I marry Mister Snow

Then it's off to home we'll go
And both of us'll look a little dreamy-eyed
A drivin' to a cottage by the oceanside
Where the salty breezes blow

He'll carry me across the threshold
And I'll be as meek as a lamb
Then he'll set me on my feet
And I'll say kind of sweet, "Well Mister Snow, here I am!"

Enoch Snow:
Then I'll kiss her so she'll know
That ev'rything'll be as right as right can be
A livin' in a cottage by the sea with me
Where the salty breezes blow

I love Miss Pipperidge
And I aim to Make Miss Pipperidge
Change her name to
Missus Enoch Snow

Go Fly A Kite


Go Fly A Kite
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



Go fly a kite and tie your troubles to the tail
They'll be blown away by a merry gale
Go fly a kite and toss your worries to the wind
And they won't come back, they'll be too chagrined
Go on make friends with the sky
Have a talk with the sun
It's the bright way to live, if you'll pardon the pun
Go fly a kite and you'll imagine you're a king
'Cause you've got your world on a piece of string

Tampico


Tampico
Composer(s): Doris Fisher - Allan Roberts
Performer(s): June Christy & Stan Kenton Orch.



I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico
Tampico, Tampico, down in Mehico

You buy a beautiful shawl
A souvenir for Aunt Flo
Authentic Mexican yarn
Made in Idaho

I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico
Tampico, Tampico, down Mehico

The senoritas, they waive, when you arrive at the dock
The native costumes they wear
Are slacks and bobby socks

I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico
Tampico, Tampico, down in Mehico

You buy some pottery there
To beat the luxury tax
You find that when you get home
They sell it cheaper at Sachs

I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico
Tampico, Tampico, down in Mehico

You ask a Mexican band
To play a rumba-down-dare
He turns and says to the boys
“Hey, fellas, dig that square!”

I, Tampico, Tampico, on the Gulf of Mehico
Tampico, Tampico, down in Mehico

Down in Mehico

Mr. Skin
Composer(s): Jay Ferguson
Originally performed by: Spirit



I raise my head in a touchy situation
(Mr. Skin you know where you've been)
Yes, I make my bed in the heart of the nation
(Mr. Skin you know where you've been)
I know it's a trait of human love to make all the people holler
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Send them looking out for their woman send them reaching out for their dollar
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
A, Hey, hey

Oh, I'm rolling flowing through the whole population
(Mr. Skin you know where you've been)
Oh, The high and the low born are my friends and relations
(Mr. Skin you know where you've been)
I can bring you pain I can bring you sudden pleasure
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Your life will only gain if your loves final measure
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Ah Mr. Mr. Skin, you know where you've been
Ah Mr. Mr. Skin, you know where you've been

Guided Missiles


Guided Missiles

Performer(s): The Cuff Links;
and various other artists



Guided Missiles
Guided Missiles

Guided missiles
Aimed at my heart
Bound to destroy me
Tear me apart

Guided missiles
None of them true
Now, I know
The enemy, is you

Guided missiles
Bound to explode
Destroying my heart
Is your goal
You have succeeded
In making me blue
Now, I know
The enemy, is you

You weaken my defenses
With your tender kisses
You knew, when you loved me
I never would resist
Now, you got me
I hope you guess
Trust me, you are
My only sense
But the same guided missile
Will get you in the end

You weaken my defenses
With your tender kisses
You knew when you love me
I never would resist

Now you've got me
I hope you win
Trust me, you are
My only sense
But the same guided missile
Will get you in the end
