Unhappy Girl


Unhappy Girl
Composer(s): John Densmore; Robbie Krieger;
Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors; Diabolique



Unhappy girl
Left all alone
Playing solitaire
Playing warden to your soul
You are locked in a prison
Of your own devise
And you can't believe
What it does to me
To see you
Crying

Unhappy girl
Tear your web away
Saw thru all your bars
Melt your cell today
You are caught in a prison
Of your own devise

Unhappy girl
Fly fast away
Don't miss your chance
To swim in mystery
You are dying in a prison
Of your own device

Nur Ein Lied


Nur Ein Lied
Composer(s): Joachim Horn-Bernges
First performance by: Thomas Forstner - 1989



Damit morgen Früh die Sonne wieder scheint
und es Tränen nur noch gibt, wenn man sich freut
Damit jedes Kind noch Hoffnung haben kann
auf ein Leben ohne Kriege ohne Angst
Dafür lohnt es sich ein Träumer zu sein

Ich singe nur ein Lied heut Nacht
ein Lied das uns zu Freunden macht
Ich singe nur ein Lied und weiß
mit jedem Wort zerbricht das Eis

Damit keiner mehr allein im Dunkeln steht
sie wieder kommt die Liebe auf der Welt
Damit jeder Mensch in Freiheit leben kann
und die Waffen werden Blumen irgendwann
Dafür lohnt es sich ein Träumer zu sein

Ich singe nur ein Lied heut Nacht
ein Lied das uns zu Freunden macht
Ich singe nur ein Lied und weiß
mit jedem Wort zerbricht das Eis

Ich singe nur ein Lied heut Nacht
Ein Lied das wie ein Feuer facht
Ich singe es für Dich und mich
Und für die ganze Welt

Unholy


Unholy
Composer(s): Gene Simmons; Vinnie Vincent
Performer(s): Kiss



I was there through the ages
Chained slaves to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
I'm the cycle of pain
Of a thousand year old reign
I'm suicide and salvation
The omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
I'm the infection and famine
That's knocking at your door
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy
Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm...
Unholy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I am the incubus
I lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows
Through your brain
But you are the beast
That calls me by my name
You send your children to war
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
You created me
On the day that you were born
Unholy
I was created by man, yeah
I'm the Lord of the Flies, you know I'm
Unholy
From the left hand of power comes the father of lies
Unholy - Unholy!
I lay you down to sleep
Your soul to keep
Better cross your heart before you die
And now you know
Know that you are mine
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy, Unholy, Unholy, Unholy

Someone Who Believes In You


Someone Who Believes In You
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King
Performer(s): Air Supply



When there's a dark storm on your horizon
And you think you can't get through it
Just put your hand in my hand
And I'll show you how to do it

When the future looks uncertain
You can count on me to be there
And when your heart and soul are hurtin'
Just look and you'll see me there

Just follow where I lead
I'll give you what you need
A love that's always true
And someone who believes in you

So when you're searching for that rainbow
I will help you find it
And when a mountain stands before you
I will help you climb it

Just follow where I lead
I'll give what you need
a love that's always true
and someone who believes in you

It's time to come alive
Your moment has arrived
I'll bring out the best in you
We can have it all
No, we will never fall
Looking down from our celestial view

Just follow where I lead
I'll give you what you need
And I'll tell you something else
You'll start believing in yourself
It's an easy thing to do
When you have someone who believes in you

Just follow where I lead
I'll give you what you need
And I'll tell you something else
You'll start believing in yourself
It's an easy thing to do
When you have someone who believes in you

Someone who believes
Someone who believes
I'm someone who believes
And You've got someone who believes in you

Unicornio


Unicornio
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez;
and various other artists



Mi unicornio azul ayer se me perdió
pastando lo deje y desapareció
Cualquier información bien la voy a pagar
Las flores que dejó
no me han querido hablar

Mi unicornio azul
ayer se me perdió
no sé si se me fue
no sé si extravió
y yo no tengo más
que un unicornio azul
Si alguien sabe de él
le ruego información
cien mil o un millón
yo pagaré
Mi unicornio azul
se me ha perdido ayer
se fue

Mi unicornio y yo
hicimos amistad
un poco con amor
un poco con verdad
Con su cuerno de añil
pescaba una canción
saberla compartir
era su vocación

Mi unicornio azul
ayer se me perdió
y puede parecer
acaso una obsesión
pero no tengo más
que un unicornio azul
y aunque tuviera dos
yo solo quiero aquel
Cualquier información
la pagaré
Mi unicornio azul
se me ha perdido ayer
se fue

Vi Maler Byen Rød


Vi Maler Byen Rød
Composer(s): Søren Bundgaard - Keld Heick
First performance by: Birthe Kjær - 1989



Du hænger lidt med ho'det, syn's du alt er gråt i gråt?
Ja, jeg kender jo turen, det' klart, du ved det godt
Men glem det et sekund, lad det fordufte i det blå
Grib din egen palet, for nu ska' vi lægge farverne på

Vi maler byen rød og himlen hvid af stjerneskær
Det grå og triste får en ekstra farveklat
Så gi'r vi nattens tøj et penselstrøg og gerne fler'
Og først når solen si'r godmorgen og ta'r fat, si'r vi godnat

De briller, du har på, kan farve tingene, der sker
Så ka' du ikke få øje på glæder, andre ser
Men du må låne mine et par timer, hvis du vil
Tag og se dig omkring, luk øjnene op, spring ud og slå til

Vi maler byen rød og himlen hvid af stjerneskær
Det grå og triste får en ekstra farveklat
Så gi'r vi nattens tøj et penselstrøg og gerne fler'
Og først når solen si'r godmorgen og ta'r fat, si'r vi godnat

Sidder du stadig derinde
Ruller gardinerne ned
Glæderne, dem skal man finde
Bare hæng i og ta' med
(Bare hæng i og ta' med)

Vi maler byen rød og himlen hvid af stjerneskær
Det grå og triste får en ekstra farveklat
Så gi'r vi nattens tøj et penselstrøg og gerne fler'
Og først når solen si'r godmorgen og ta'r fat ...
Ja, først når solen si'r godmorgen og ta'r fat
Si'r vi godnat

United We Stand


United We Stand
Composer(s): Tony Hiller; Peter Simons
Performer(s): The Brotherhood of Man;
and various other artists



There's nowhere in the world that I would rather be
Than with you my love
And there's nothing in the world that I would rather see
Than your smile my love

For united we stand
Divided we fall
And if our backs should ever be against the wall
We'll be together, together, you and I

For united we stand
Divided we fall
And if our backs should ever be against the wall
We'll be together, together, you and I

And if the world about you falls apart my love
Then I'll still be here
And if the going gets too hard along the way
Just you call, I'll hear

Someone Waits For You


Someone Waits For You
Composer(s): Peter Allen - Wilbur Jennings
Performer(s): Carly Simon



Oh, my heart knows more
With each passing day
And I know I'll change
If you leave or stay
But when our world turns
Where it's turning to
You'll see some hearts fade
While mine shine's on through
I will still be there some day for you

You see, somewhere
Someone waits for you
Who hopes you will come through
Who'll wait until you do
You'll see a light in some familiar door
And when you reach the shore
It won't hurt any more

Remember, night may trouble you
With endless dreams
But blue skies wait for you
Beyond the sunrise
I'm here, so walk into your fate
It never is too late

There's someone smiling through
Who'll do all they can do, for you
Remember, somewhere
Someone waits for you

There's someone smiling through
Who'll do all they can do, for you
Remember, somewhere
Someone waits for you

I'm looking for a job
And I'm talking to myself, talking to myself

Up On The Catwalk


Up On The Catwalk
Composer(s): Simple Minds
Performer(s): Simple Minds



Up on the catwalk, a big wheel is spinning
And dollars to deutsch marks, and pennies from heaven
And up on the catwalk, there’s one hundred million
With letters from thousands that say "just who are you?"
There’s one thousand names that can spring up in my mind
But you’d call it blackmail and that’s just not my kind
And up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk
And I don’t know why

I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
I will be there, I will be there

Up on the catwalk there’s street politicians
That crawl in from Broadway, say then who are you
And up on the catwalk there’s one thousand postcards
From Montevideo, say that I’ll be home soon
Get out of Bombay and go up to Brixton and look around, to see just what is missing
And up on the catwalk, girls call for mother and dream of their boyfriends
And I don’t know why

I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
I will be there, I will be there
Tonight, under the crystal light, I’ll tell you everything I need
Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me

Up on the catwalk, and you dress in waistcoats
And got brilliantino, and friends of Kim Philby
You float through the night time, like manna from heaven
But what, what do I know, and just what do I know
And up on the catwalk, in sweat that glistens
And I don’t know why and I don’t know why
I don’t know why

I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
I will be there, I will be there
Tonight, under the crystal light, I’ll tell you everything I need
Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me

Angel angel angel angel
Ah huh ah huh ah huh ah huh
One thousand names that spring up in my mind
One thousand names that spring up in my mind
Like Deodata, Michelangelo, Robert De Niro, so many others
Natashia Kinski and Martin Luther - there’s room for others, away from me

Up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk
I don’t know why

The Universal Soldier


The Universal Soldier
Composer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie
First release by: Buffy Sainte-Marie - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - De Eeuwige Soldaat (Boudewijn de Groot)
1966 - Je T'aime (Sheila)
1966 - Soldato Universale (Claus)



He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen
Been a soldier for a thousand years

He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
And he knows he shouldn't kill
And he knows he always will
Kill you for me my friend and me for you

And he's fighting for Canada
He's fighting for France
He's fighting for the USA
And he's fighting for the Russians
And he's fighting for Japan
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way

And he's fighting for Democracy
He's fighting for the Reds
He says it's for the peace of all
He's the one who must decide
Who's to live and who's to die
And he never sees the writing on the wall

But without him
How would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body
As a weapon of the war
And without him all this killing can't go on

He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame
His orders come from far away no more
They come from here and there and you and me
And brothers can't you see
This is not the way we put the end to war

Someone To Watch Over Me


Someone To Watch Over Me
Composer(s): George Gershwin - Ira Gershwin
First performance by: Gertrude Lawrence - 1927
Covered by multiple other artists



There’s a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we’re often told, "seek and ye shall find"
So I’m going to seek a certain lad I’ve had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven’t found him yet
He’s the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret

I’d like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There’s a somebody I’m longin’ to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over me

I’m a little lamb who’s lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one who’ll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key

Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Someone to watch over me

Up On The Roof


Up On The Roof
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King
Performer(s): The Drifters;
and various other artists



When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)

(brief instrumental-chiefly strings)

At night the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-tellin' you

Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
Fade

Everything is all right (up on the roof)

En Dag


En Dag
Composer(s): Alexander Bard - Ola Håkansson - Tim Norell First performance by: Tommy Nilsson - 1989



Mmm...
En dag när vindarna bär
En dag står du och jag här
En dag när drömmen når fram
När vägarna möts, förstår vi varann

En dag vi alla förstår
En dag, när stillheten rår
En dag jag finner din hand
När vägarna möts, förstår vi varann

Vi bär på en längtan och vandrar omkring
Vandrar men utan att se
Vad som än händer, jag kommer till dig
Stannar fast timmen är sen
Stannar fast timmen är sen

Åh... En dag när vindarna bär
En dag står du och jag här
En dag när drömmen når fram
När vägarna möts, förstår vi varann

Åh... Allt det vi söker, det finns här intill
Allt som vi hoppas ska ske
Åh... Vad som än händer, jag kommer till dig
Stannar fast timmen är sen
Åh... Stannar fast timmen är sen

Åh... En dag när vindarna bär
En dag står du och jag här

Åh... En dag

När vägarna möts förstår vi varann
En dag vi alla förstår
Åh... En dag, när stillheten rår
En dag jag finner din hand
När vägarna möts, förstår vi varann
(En dag när vindarna bär)
En dag står du och jag här
En dag när drömmen når fram
När vägarna möts, förstår vi varann

Performer(s): Guy Mitchell;
and various other artists



Unless you give me your sunny smile
Unless you make living worth the while
Unless you will be so tender to me
Then life will be just empty time

Unless my absence can make you sad
Unless my presence can make you glad
Then there'll never be contentment for me
Unless your heart is mine

Give me your sunny smile

Make living worth the while
Unless you will be so tender to me
Then life will be just empty time

Unless my absence can make you sad
Unless my presence can make you glad
Then there'll never be contentment for me
Unless your heart is mine, all mine

Unlimited Capacity For Love


Unlimited Capacity For Love
Composer(s): Grace Jones; Barry Reynolds
Performer(s): Grace Jones



The end's not in sight, it's gone way too far
This could turn our another unwinning war
It wasn't inherited, certainly not a joke
So many human hearts, hanging in hope
Unlimited capacity for love
Unlimited capacity for love

And now I must add another to love in my life
It's one thing to say, to do is another
If Im capable of adapting without pressured expense
In a schizoid society in a classic moral sense
Unlimited capacity for love
Umlimited capacity for love

How young I am now, stop counting the weeks
We're safe from the vois, where they're still counting sheep
Put the phone to the floor, you'll hear my heart beat
Some people get married, but I'll never chat
Unlimited capacity for love
Unlimited capacity for love

The end's not in sight, it's gone way too far
This could turn our another unwinning war
It wasn't inherited, certainly not a joke
So many human hearts, hanging in hope
Unlimited capacity for love (repeat, fade)

Conquistador (Da Vinci)


Conquistador
First performance by: Da Vinci - 1989



Era um mundo novo
Um sonho de poetas
Ir até ao fim
Cantar novas vitórias

E erguer, orgulhosos, bandeiras
Viver aventuras guerreiras
Foram mil epopeias
Vidas tão cheias
Foram oceanos de amor

Já fui ao Brasil
Praia e Bissau
Angola, Moçambique
Goa e Macau
Ai, fui até Timor
Já fui um conquistador

Era todo um povo
Guiado pelos céus
Espalhou-se pelo mundo
Seguindo os seus heróis

E levaram a luz da tortura
Semearam laços de ternura

Foram mil epopeias
Vidas tão cheias
Foram oceanos de amor

Já fui ao Brasil
Praia e Bissau
Angola, Moçambique
Goa e Macau
Ai, fui até Timor
Já fui um conquistador

Já fui ao Brasil
Praia e Bissau
Angola, Moçambique
Goa e Macau
Ai, fui até Timor
Já fui um conquistador

Foram dias e dias e meses e anos no mar
Percorrendo uma estrada de estrelas a conquistar

Já fui ao Brasil
Praia e Bissau
Angola, Moçambique
Goa e Macau
Ai, fui até Timor
Já fui um conquistador

Fui conquistador
Fui conquistador
Fui conquistador
