Under Fiesta Stars


Under Fiesta Stars
From the film "Under Fiesta Stars"
Composer(s): Gene Autry; Fred Rose
Performer(s): Gene Autry; Richard O'Brien



We met by a stream one night in Mexico
The moment stood still under fiesta stars
I learned how to dream that night in Mexico
My heart felt a thrill under fiesta stars

The night spoke of splendour
The lanterns were low
I had to surrender
The thrill seemed to grow
The music was playing
We danced until dawn
My thoughts began straying
And then she was gone

Tonight there's a stream somewhere in Mexico
Where lanterns that glow blend with the soft guitars
I wish I could dream again of Mexico
And still feel the thrill under fiesta stars

(Instrumental Interlude)

Tonight there's a stream somewhere in Mexico
Where lanterns that glow blend with the soft guitars
I wish I could dream again in Mexico
And still feel the thrill under fiesta stars

Someone To Love (The Great Society)


Someone To Love - 1965 (aka Somebody To Love - 1967)
(French Version: Pour Un Peu D’amour - 1967)
Composer(s): Darby Slick
First release by: The Great Society - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



When the truth is found to be lies
and all the joys within you dies
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love

When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
and your mind is full of red
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love

your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
but in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love

tears are running ah running down your breast
and your friends baby they treat you like a guest
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love

Under God


Under God
Composer(s): Phil Johnson; Sue C. Smith
Performer(s): The Booth Brothers



Half a century ago, two simple words
Declared a truth that's planted in our hearts
And every time the flag is raised
We've been honored to repeat the phrase
So the world will know we are...

Under God, America's been blessed
Under God, brought through every trial and test
We are sheltered by the mercy He chose to give
In privilege and abundance, this nation lives

Under God, Freedom has survived
Under God, we need to recognize
We're dependent on His goodness
Indebted to His care
Maybe more than any people anytime or anywhere
Still our only hope and prayer is Under God

When we pledge allegiance now, it's Under God
Those words have shaped the land that we hold dear
Some insist it's not allowed
To acknowledge that we need Him now
But it has never been so clear

Under God, America's been blessed
Under God, brought through every trial and test
We are sheltered by the mercy He chose to give
In privilege and abundance, this nation lives

Under God, Freedom has survived
Under God, we need to recognize
We're dependent on His goodness
Indebted to His care
Maybe more than any people anytime or anywhere
Still our only hope and prayer
Still our only hope and prayer is Under God
Under God

Nauravat Silmät Muistetaan


Nauravat Silmät Muistetaan
First performance by: Boulevard - 1988



Päivien pyörteessä, toisien joukossa helppo on kulkea yksin
Ihmistenkuoria, tyhjiä kohdata vaan
Outoja ilmeitä, kylmiä katseita, muutamat ilmettä aivan
Kulkevat, katsovat, tuskinpa kuulevatkaan

Astutaan ulos kuoresta uuteen maisemaan
Avataan korvat kuulemaan, rohkeesti vaan rentoudutaan
Heitetään turha jännitys pois ja nauretaan
Nauravat silmät muistetaan, ilmeikkäät vaan huomioidaan

Ihmistenkuorista, vanhoista nuorista, kaikki on toisinaan yksin
Kaikkien huolia ystävyys helpottaa voi
Hauskoja ilmeitäa, heiliä katseita, uusia tuulia aivan
Katsovat, kuulevat, naurussaan riemu jo soi

Astutaan ulos kuoresta uuteen maisemaan
Avataan korvat kuulemaan, rohkeesti vaan rentoudutaan
Heitetään turha jännitys pois ja nauretaan
Nauravat silmät muistetaan, ilmeikkäät vaan huomioidaan

Heitetään turha jännitys pois ja nauretaan
Nauravat silmät muistetaan, ilmeikkäät vaan huomioidaan
Nauravat silmät muistetaan, ilmeikkäät vaan huomioidaan

Somebody Stole My Guitar


Somebody Stole My Guitar
Composer(s): Ian Gillan - Roger Glover - Jon Lord - Steve Morse - Ian Paice
Performer(s): Deep Purple



Remind me to tell you
'bout the old silver miner
name of hard rock Pete
had his house built on a slope
They say one of his legs
lived in Calico
There's a rumour going round
that the other lived in hope
So I walked in the room
and I stopped
I turned around
and looked over my shoulder
And a voice close beside me said
You'd better watch your head
the party's over

It wasn't long before
the waitress came over and said
Can I freshen up your drink
and have you heard of these boys
and if you feel included
to buy some cowboy boots
Well it's not that bad
we can talk above the noise
So I sucked on my beer
Shut my eyes
and tried to listen to the words
I know I missed the meaning
but the message
was something I'd already heard

Johnny Ringo's voice
is getting deeper
and now he's going to put
another lock on the door
The night is getting later
My head is getting lighter
The mood is getting darker
Tequila's being poured
So I smile
at the old gunslinger
in his frame on the wall
as he pushed back his hat
And it's all coming back
I'd cut a long story short
but it's much too late for that

Somebody stole my guitar
They took it from
the back seat of my car

I was sleeping in Memphis
in my hotel room
and somebody stole my guitar

Under My Thumb


Under My Thumb
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones;
and various other artists



Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around

It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb

Ain't it the truth babe?

Under my thumb
The squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways

It's down to me, yes it is
The way she does just what she's told
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, ah, say it's alright

Under my thumb
A siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest, hmmm, pet in the world

It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, take it easy babe
Yeah

It's down to me, oh yeah
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Yeah, it feels alright

Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well I
I can still look at someone else

It's down to me, oh that's what I said
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Say, it's alright

Say it's all...
Say it's all...

Take it easy babe
Take it easy babe
Feels alright
Take it, take it easy babe

Stad I Ljus


Stad I Ljus
Composer(s): Py Bäckman
First performance by: Tommy Körberg - 1988



Min resa var mot solen, långt bortom alla slutna rum
Där allting är oändligt, och alla gränser har förevigt suddats ut
Jag ville se miraklet, och höra ord som föder liv
Bli buren av en styrka, som bara växer när jag anat mitt motiv

Stad i ljus, i ett land utan namn
Ge mig liv, där allting föds på nytt

Och så när allt förändrats, när tiden inte längre finns
Så ser jag oss untilsammans, och då är resan slut
Det enda som vi minns

Stad i ljus, i ett land utan namn
Ge mig liv, där allting föds på nytt
Stad i ljus, i ett land utan namn
Ge, ge mig liv, där allting föds på nytt

Under Pressure


Under Pressure
Composer(s): David Bowie; John Deacon;
Brian May; Freddie Mercury; Roger Taylor
Performer(s): Queen; David Bowie;
and various other artists



Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Pressure pressing down on me
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah

That's o-kay!
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people

Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay
Chippin around
Kick my brains around the floor
These are the days
It never rains it pours
People on streets
People on streets

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
People people on streets
Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure pressure

Somebody Stole My Gal


Somebody Stole My Gal
Composer(s): Leo Wood
Performer(s): Florence Millett
and multiple other artists



Gee, but I'm lonesome, lonesome and blue
I've found out something I never knew
I know now what it means to be sad
For I've lost the best gal I ever had
She only left yesterday
Somebody stole her away

Somebody stole my gal
Somebody stole my pal
Somebody came and took her away
She didn't even say she was leavin'
The kisses I love so
He's getting now I know
And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me if she could see
Her broken hearted lonesome pal
Somebody stole my gal

Angels they say are only above
I know that's wrong because my old love
Sure is an angel, take it from me
And she's all the angel I want to see
Maybe she'll come back some day
All I can do now is pray

Somebody stole my gal
Somebody stole my pal
Somebody came and took her away
She didn't even say she was leavin'
The kisses I love so
He's getting now I know
And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me if she could see
Her broken hearted lonesome pal
Somebody stole my gal

And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me if she could see
Her broken hearted lonesome pal
Somebody stole my
Somebody stole my
Somebody stole my gal!

Under The Bamboo Tree


Under The Bamboo Tree
From "Sally In Our Alley"; "Nancy Brown"; "Meet Me In St. Louis"
Composer(s): John Rosamond Johnson; Bob Cole
Performer(s): Judy Garland; Margaret O'Brien;
and various other artists



Down in the jungles lived a maid
Of royal blood though dusky shade
A marked impression once she made
Upon a Zulu from Matabooloo
And ev'ry morning he would be
Down underneath the bamboo tree
Awaiting there his love to see
And then to her he'd sing

If you lak-a-me lak I lak-a-you
And we lak-a-both the same
I lak-a-say
This very day
I lak-a change your name
'Cause I love-a-you and love-a you true
And if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree

And in this simple jungle way
He wooed the maiden ev'ry day
By singing what he had to say
One day he seized her
And gently squeezed her
And then beneath the bamboo green
He begged her to become his queen
The dusky maiden blushed unseen
And joined him in his song

If you lak-a-me lak I lak-a-you
And we lak-a-both the same
I lak-a-say
This very day
I lak-a change your name
'Cause I love-a-you and love-a you true
And if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree

This little story strange but true
Is often told in Mataboo
Of how this Zulu tried to woo
His jungle lady
In tropics shady
Although the scene was miles away
Right here at home I dare to say
You'll hear some Zulu ev'ry day
Gush out this soft refrain

If you lak-a-me lak I lak-a-you
And we lak-a-both the same
I lak-a-say
This very day
I lak-a change your name
'Cause I love-a-you and love-a you true
And if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree

Oh, when the sun beats down
and burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

Under the board-walk (board-walk!)

From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel
Mm-mm, you can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell

I'm somebody nobody loves
Oh me, oh my, my, my
I'm somebody nobody loves
I wonder why, why, why

Although I know it's most alarmin'
I've prayed on bended knee
For that certain gay prince charmin'
Who was meant for me

I've got to find me a somebody soon
Or else I'll die, die, die
I'd take the man in the moon
If he'd give me a try
I'm just a lonesome Cinderella
That romance passes by
I'm somebody nobody loves, oh me oh my

Under The Falling Sky


Under The Falling Sky
Composer(s): Jackson Browne
Performer(s): Jackson Browne;
Bob Meighan; Bonnie Raitt



Warm and lovely mystery, fire smiling through
Before this moment fades away I want to know you
I've got lightening in my pocket, thunder in my shoe
Have no fear I've got something here I want to show you

Low, under the falling sky
Easily we will lie
While I bring it to you

It's a low road, a high wire going from me to you
And in your eyes the distance left is closing
I've got a feeling in my oceans
Blood underneath my skin
That into your bright fields this prison is opening

Low, under the falling sky
Easily we will lie
While I bring it to you

Our shadows wake each day though they don't know why
They hope and try -- live and die
So leave them in their frozen world
Come and be my lover
If only for one stolen moment
We will live forever

Warm and lovely mystery, can you hear the choir?
Voices can no longer hold my desire
Abandon your sad history and meet me in the fire
Our angels wait to take us higher and higher
Higher and higher

Low, under the falling sky
Easily we will lie
While I bring it to you

Moitié-Moitié


Moitié-Moitié
First performance by: Carol Rich - 1987



Le monde est une balançoire interdite aux enfants
Plus tu fais monter d'un côté et plus l'autre descend
En haut c'est la vie an bleu
En bas c'est les larmes aux yeux
Ni beaucoup ni trop peu
Faudrait le juste milieu

Le monde est comme un sablier implacable et stupide
Plus tu le remplis d'un côté et plus l'autre se vide
En bas c'est plein à craquer
En haut plus rien à donner
Tant de choses à changer
Faudra faire moitié moitié

L'amour c'est moitié moitié
Toujours faire moitié moitié
Bonheur qu'on partage
Met le malheur en cage

L'amour c'est moitié moitié
Toujours faire moitié moitié
Tout le bien que l'on donne
C'est le mal qu'on emprisonne

Mais quelque part un avion fou s'écrase en plein désert
Et c'est le livre d'une vie qui redevient poussière
L'ange du hasard a frappé
Le génie s'est envolé
Son message est resté
On va faire moitié moitié

L'amour c'est moitié moitié
Toujours faire moitié moitié
Bonheur qu'on partage
Met le malheur en cage

L'amour c'est moitié moitié
Toujours faire moitié moitié
Tout le bien que l'on donne
C'est le mal qu'on emprisonne

L'amour c'est moitié moitié
Toujours faire moitié moitié
Bonheur qu'on partage
Met le malheur en cage

L'amour c'est moitié moitié
Toujours faire moitié moitié
Tout le bien que l'on donne
C'est le mal qu'on emprisonne

Tout le bien que l'on donne
C'est le mal qu'on emprisonne

Under The Influence Of Love


Under The Influence Of Love
Composer(s): Barry White; Paul Leo Politi
Performer(s): Barry White & Love Unlimited;
Kylie Minogue; Felice Taylor



Walking on a cloud
Feeling high
It happens every time
Whenever I'm with my guy

Tripping on love
And it feels so good
I can't help myself
And I wouldn't think I could

Plus he's got that certain drive
That I'm a victim to
Love's really got a hold on me
And there's nothing that I'd rather do

Oh, I'm right under the influence of love
And, I know there ain't no doubt about it
I'm under the influence of love
And I know I just can't live without it

Need another dose
Can't get enough
I've just got to have
All of my baby's love

And, when I'm alone
Feeling sad and blue
He gives me a shot of love
And I'm as good as new

Helpless as I am
Ask me, I don't care
His tenderness is what I miss
Whenever he's not here

Oh, I'm under the influence of love
And, I know there ain't no doubt about it
I'm under the influence of love
And I know I just can't live without it

There just ain't no one else
Who can bring out the love in me
So many guys have tried
They've tried to catch my eye
But he's the only one I see

Oh, I'm under the influence of love
And, I know there ain't no doubt about it
I'm under the influence of love
And I know I just can't live without it

(Fades to End)

Oh, I'm under the influence of love
And, I know there ain't no doubt about it

Under The Mellow Arabian Moon


Under The Mellow Arabian Moon
Composer(s): Caspar Nathan; J. Walter Leopold
Performer(s): The New Leviathan Oriental Foxtrot Orch.



My heart's in Arabia tonight
Where stars shine bright on desert sand
Where the moon sends blessings with its light
From far above, oh, land, of love

When the oriole high in the trees
Goes to its nest in search of rest
Then my fancy journey o'er the seas
Thro' desert sand to Arab land

Under the mellow Arabian moon
With an Arabian maid in the desert shade
Humming a sweet Arabian tune
Turkish melodies floating on the breeze
Holding someone by the hand
In that far off desert land
Let me tell you that's the way to spoon
Just get an Arab sweetheart
Under the the mellow Arabian moon
Tell her pretty things, do your wanderings
Where cold December seems like June
You will be content in the Orient
You'll find lots of pleasure there, love and music in the air
Under the mellow Arabian moon

Somebody loves me, I wonder who
I wonder who he can be

You were meant to be my loving baby, baby, oh
Somebody loves me, I wonder who
Maybe it’s you

For every boy who passes me, I shout ‘Hey, maybe’
You were meant to be my loving baby, baby

Somebody loves me, I wonder who
Maybe, it’s
Baby, it’s
Maybe, baby, that somebody is you
