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 driving in my car
I'm looking for a job
And I'm talking to myself, talking to myself
Talking to myself, talking to myself

All the people watch me from my head to feet

Hey brothers and sisters from the universe
We're drowning in a pot

From mental pollution and mental activity

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
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
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

Unless
Composer(s): Robert Hargreaves; Stanley J. Damerell;
Tolchard Evans; Henry B. Tilsley
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

Unlucky Luke
Unlucky Luke
Composer(s): Benny Hill
Performer(s): Benny Hill
They say if you build a better mousetrap
the world will beat a pathway to your house
If Luke was to build a better mousetrap
somebody'd breed a smarter mouse
If it started raining soup his family'd all have forks
If they was to cut a woman in two, he'd get the half that talks
Unlucky Luke, unlucky kid
Why he broke into a betting shop and he lost four hundred quid
Now his parents never loved him like they did his sister, Kim
They could tied a kipper 'round his neck to get the cat to play with him
And he cried the day that he was weened 'cause he knew even then
It'd be twenty years before he was near anything like that again
They put his cradle on the ??? near the door
So the folks downstairs could hear him when he fell out on the floor
Now the saddest day of Luke's unhappy life, beyond a doubt
Was the day he went to hospital to get his tonsils out
He was on the operating theatre trolley sleeping sound
When a short-sighted nurse came past and turned the trolley 'round
Unlucky Luke, no wonder he hollers
His sick aunt died and in her will he owed her forty dollars
Now Luke married Charlie's widow, a lady with no manners
She had a figure like a hippo and face like a bag of spanners
She told him she'd four children in the cemetary by the creek
She forgot to tell they was down there playin' hide and seek
Unlucky Luke, at the age of fifty-two
Had a wife, a girlfriend and a tax demand and all three were overdue
Now Luke came home one lunch time, he'd been out selling lucky charms
He tripped over a neighbour's cat and fractured both his arms
He said, "Hey, that's a black cat, why that's lucky, I've a hunch"
His wife said, "That cat's lucky 'cause he's just had your lunch"
Last night he lost his pet alsation pup
So he phoned up the Samaritans but the Samaritans hung up
Oh Luke, he had to go to France, his wife said, "I suppose you'll fly"
He said, "With luck like mine the plane'll crash and I'm too young to die"
So he sailed there in the safety of an ocean-going ship
But he got drowned when the boat went down when the plane crashed into it"
Unlucky Luke, unlucky Luke
Until the day he died fate was against unlucky Luke

Someone Saved My Life Tonight
Someone Saved My Life Tonight
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
First recording/First release by: Elton John - 1974/1975
Covered by multiple other artists
When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye
I never realised the passing hours of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive
And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your H.P. demands forever
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone

Unnecessary Town
Unnecessary Town
From "Li'l Abner"
Composer(s): Gene DePaul; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Shelly Manne;
Edith Adams; Percy Faith; André Previn
Oh it's unnecessary
Just a speck on the map
Where the trail from the Smokies
Reaches old Gopher Gap
With the sheep in the meadow
And the bees in the comb
Oh, it's unnecessary
But it's home, sweet home
Oh it's unnecessary
Just a small little town
With the stars in the willow
And the moon peeping down
It's almost like a postcard
Done in pure kodachrome
Oh it's unnecessary
But it's home, sweet home
With the sheep in the meadow
And the bees in the comb
Oh, it's unnecessary
But it's home, sweet home

Venners Nærhet
Venners Nærhet
First performance by: Britt Synnøve - 1989
Du søker mine tanker, jeg vet hva du vil si
Men sa du det du visste, ville tausheten forbli
Når venners nærhet er blitt en trussel
Og håpefulle smil blir visket bort
Kom da og vekk meg, la oss danse
Så forblir du min, du er min venn
Jeg vet at du er liten, men likevel så stor
All verden vil du favne, jeg hilser deg, min bror
Når venners nærhet er blitt en trussel
Og håpefulle smil blir visket bort
Kom da og vekk meg, la oss danse
Så forblir du min, du er min venn
(Din stemme den har nådd meg, og jeg slipper deg inn)
For det er rom for oss begge, for tanker og for sinn
Når venners nærhet er blitt en trussel
Og håpefulle smil blir visket bort
Kom da og vekk meg, la oss danse
Så forblir du min, du er min venn

Stà notte e quanti baci amore
Uno a te, uno a me finché l'alba non verrà
Stà notte quanti abbracci ancore
Uno a te, uno a me finché sembra un sogno ma è realta
Nel cielo quante stelle d'or
Una a te, una a me, finché l'alba non verrà

Mezza te, mezza me, sembra un sogno ma è realtà
Ti voglio bene

Dolcissimo é l'incanto se stiamo cuore a cuore
Ti voglio bene
Non domandarmi quando mai finirà l'incanto
Di questro nostro amor
Stà notte quanti baci amor
Un a te, un a me, finché l'alba non verrà
