Uomo (Riccardo Cocciante)


Uomo
Composer(s): P. Casella; Riccardo Cocciante; Luberti
Performer(s): Riccardo Cocciante



Mondo una notte chiara
Una stella di luce nel cielo
Si avvicina e più grande diventa
Dell'oscurità
Uomo
Pieno di stupore
Combattendo tra fede e paura
Hai tremato nell'oscurità
Quella notte chiara
Uomo
Il bisogno nascosto d'amore
Nel tuo cuore speranza portò
Uomo
L'alba fu leggera
Nel tuo cuore la gioia più pura
Coi ricordi più antichi tornò
Ritornava ancora
Uomo
Quella stella che apparve nel buio
Quella stella che amore portò
Uomo
Senza più paura
Nuovi doni portassi alla riva
E stella scendendo dal cielo
Laggiù si posò

Something In Red


Something In Red
Composer(s): Angela Kaset
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan
and multiple other artists



I'm looking for something in red
Something that's shocking to turn someone's head
Strapless and sequined and cut down to there
Stockings and garters and lace underwear
The guaranteed number to knock the men dead
I'm looking for something in red

I'm looking for something in green
something to out do an ex-high school queen
Jealousy comes in the color of jade
Do you have some pumps and a purse in this shade
And a perfume that whispers "Please come back to me"
I'm looking for something in green

I'm looking for something in white
Something that shimmers in soft candlelight
Everyone calls us the most perfect pair
Should I wear a veil or a rose in my hair
Well, the train must be long and the waist must be tight
I'm looking for something in white

I'm looking for something in blue
Something real tiny, the baby's brand new
He has his father's nose and his chin
We once were hot lovers
Now we're more like friends
Don't tell me that's just what old married folk do
I'm looking for something in blue

I'm looking for something in red
Like the one that wore when I first turned his head
Strapless and sequined and cut down to there
Just a size larger than I wore last year
The guaranteed number to knock the man dead

I'm looking for something
I've gotta have something
I'm looking for something in red

Uomo Di Sabbia


Uomo Di Sabbia (Egyptian, French, & German Title: Salma Ya Salama) Composer(s): Jeff Barnel; Pierre Delanoé; Jahine Salah Performer(s): Dalida



Da sempre padrone, violento e predone
Sicuro andavi tu

Un colpo di vento, sul moi sentimento
T'ha fatto cadere giù
Da quel monumento antico

Uomo di sabbia vai, sei del deserto e non lo sai
Uomo di sabbia vai, pero nessuna schiava hai

Andavi e venivi, volevi ed avevi
Ma che felicità

Col cuore giocavi, di chi non amavi
Con me tu scherzavi ma
E cambiato il mondo in te

Uomo di sabbia vai, sei del desrto e non lo sai
Uomo di sabbia vai, pero nessuna schiava hai

Se cerchi una donna
Col volto di una Madonna
Fai molto attenzione che non sia un miraggio quel che vedi
Forza coraggio
La vita è solo un passaggio
Ieri comandavi tu
Sul piano del sesso e adesso

Uomo di sabbia vai, sei del desrto e non lo sai
Uomo di sabbia vai pero nessuna schiava hai

Da sempre padrone, violento e predone
Sicuro andavi tu

Un colpo di vento, sul moi sentimento
T'ha fatto andare giù
Da quel monumento antico

Uomo di sabbia vai, sei del deserto e non lo sai
Sono una donna ormai, percio una schiava non avrai
Uomo di sabbia vai, sei del deserto e non lo sai
Sono una donna ormai, percio una schiava non avrai

Musik Klingt In Die Welt Hinaus


Musik Klingt In Die Welt Hinaus
Composer(s): Cornelia Lackner
First performance by: Egon Egemann - 1990



Sie war allein und niemand wollte sie
Ich sah sie an und war verliebt in sie
Sie wurde mein, es war so schön wie nie
Die Geige sang mir diese Melodie

Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus
Musik, die meine Geige spielt
Musik hört man in jedem Haus
Musik, die jeder fühlt
Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus
Musik, die meine Geige spielt
Musik macht manches Märchen wahr
Musik, so wunderbar

Sie spielt in Dur wenn sie die Muse küsst
Und auch in Moll wenn ihr zum Weinen ist
Ich bleib' ihr treu, möchte sie nie verliern
Will zu ihr stehen, sie ist ein Teil von mir

Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus
Musik, die meine Geige spielt
Musik hört man in jedem Haus
Musik, die jeder fühlt
Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus
Musik, die meine Geige spielt
Musik macht manches Märchen wahr
Musik, so wunderbar

Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus
Musik, die meine Geige spielt
Musik hört man in jedem Haus
Musik, die jeder fühlt
Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus
Musik, die meine Geige spielt
Musik macht manches Märchen wahr
Musik, so wunderbar

Something In My Heart


Something In My Heart
Composer(s): Wayland Patton
Performer(s): Ricky Skaggs; Crowe Brothers; Tommy Webb



Well, I thought I was over you and that my heart was free
I felt like those old memories had finally let me be
So I picked up the phone to call a girl that I once knew
But when she said hi, well girl, you know I wished that it was you

Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again
Somethin' 'bout the way you broke it just won't seem to mend, no
Somethin' in my mind tells me your memory has no end
Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again

Seems like only yesterday you promised you'd be mine
And I sure thought I heard you say "until the end of time"
Well, I guess I was wrong to think your love for me was true
So here I am all brokenhearted, all because of you

Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again
Somethin' 'bout the way you broke it just won't seem to mend, no
Somethin' in my mind tells me your memory has no end
Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again

Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again

Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother


Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother
Composer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
Performer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker;
and various other artists



He was born in West Virginia
His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz
And he's not responsible for what he's doing
Cause his mother made him what he is

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell

Sure does like his Falstaff beer
Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor
Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck
He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell

Well,
M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck
O is for the Oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird
H is for Haggard
E is for eggs, and
R is for Redneck

Up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Kicking hippies asses and raising hell

He's up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell

Hallo - Hallo


Hallo - Hallo
Composer(s): Keld Heick - John Hatting - Torben Lendager
First performance by: Lonnie Devantier - 1990



Kigger på mit ur, nu' du ganske sikkert hjemme
Så jeg drøner ned ad trappen for at ringe til dig
Men ned' i boksen står der én med mønter fremme
Han ta'r flere op af lommen, mens han skuler til mig

Så er der fri, jeg ringer op og den er klar
Men det er kun din automat, der gi'r mig svar

Jeg si'r: Hallo, hallo
Jeg ved godt, du er hjemme
Ka' du ikke ta' og ta' din telefon
Hallo, hallo
Jeg lytter til din stemme
Men når båndet slutter, er der aldrig no'en

Rådhusuret slår, og her står jeg nu og fryser
Jeg er træt af smarte fyre, der skal imponere
Jeg' godt forkølet, pudser næse, går og nyser
Og ka' næsten ikke styre temperamentet mere

Jeg griber røret, men bli'r stadig holdt for nar
For det' din dumme automat, der gi'r mig svar

Jeg si'r: Hallo, hallo
Jeg ved godt, du er hjemme
Ka' du ikke ta' og ta' din telefon
Hallo, hallo
Jeg lytter til din stemme
Men når båndet slutter, er der aldrig no'en

Jeg fodrer boksen med den sidste mønt jeg har
Det er og bli'r din automat, der gi'r mig svar

Jeg si'r: Hallo, hallo
Jeg ved godt, du er hjemme
Ka' du ikke ta' og ta' din telefon
Hallo, hallo
Jeg lytter til din stemme
Men når båndet slutter, er der aldrig no'en

Jeg si'r: Hallo, hallo
Jeg vidste du var hjemme
Det var rart, at du ku' ta' din telefon
Hallo, hallo
Jeg lytter til din stemme
Selv om båndet slutter, er der stadig no'en
Det var rart, at du ku' ta' din telefon

Up Around The Bend


Up Around The Bend
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival;
and various other artists



There's a place up ahead
and I'm going just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away if you're going
leave the sinking ship behind

Chorus:
Come on the rising wind, we're going up around the bend

Ooh!
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, better get while the getting is good
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway where the neons turn to wood

Chorus

Ooh!
You can ponder perpetual motion, fix your mind on a crystal day
Always time for a good conversation, there's an ear for what you say

Chorus
Yeah!

Ooh!
Catch a ride to the end of the highway and we'll meet by the big red tree
There's a place up ahead and I'm going, come along, come along with me

Chorus

Yeah!
Do, do, doo, do...

Something Good


Something Good
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers
First performance by: Julie Andrews & Bill Lee - 1965



Maria:
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So, somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

Captain:
So here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not, you should

Maria:
So somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done
something good

Both:
Nothing comes from nothing, nothing ever could

Maria:
So, somewhere in my youth...

Captain:
...or childhood

Maria:
I must have done something...

Both: Something...good...

Up From The Deep
Composer(s): Ray Trainer; The Tubes
Performer(s): The Tubes



Tell me how you want it
and that's we'll play it
Listen to our single
Watch how they play it
Tell me how you want it
That's how I'll have our guitar
player, Roger Steen, play it
Play this song together
That's how we like it
And all my boys will play along
Even if they don't like the song
Even if the progression's wrong
Wake us up from a sleep
Comin' up from the deep

Brandenburger Tor


Brandenburger Tor
First performance by: Ketil Stokkan - 1990



En heil verden va' te' stede
Førr å dele det som skjedde i høst
Vi så menneska gråte av glede
Og ei grense åpne mot øst
Ingen kunne la vær, alle sammen va' der
Og fick se Brandenburger Tor

Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor
Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
Vi ser Brandenburger Tor
Ja, vi ser Brandenburger Tor

Et heilt folk ville leve
Og førtelle om sin rike kultur
Vi så sannheta åpent på TV
Fra en bydel gjemt bak en mur
Byen løfta sitt slør, allting ser ut som før
Førr oss, på Brandenburger Tor

Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor
Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
Vi ser Brandenburger Tor

Etter mange lange år
En ny vår førr Brandenburger Tor

Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor
Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
Vi ser Brandenburger Tor

(Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor)
Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
Vi ser Brandenburger Tor

(Her står vi på Brandenburger Tor)
Hånd i hånd som om det va' i går
Du og æ på Brandenburger Tor
Vi ser Brandenburger Tor
Ja, vi ser Brandenburger Tor

Up From The Skies


Up From The Skies
Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix
Performer(s): Jimi Hendrix;
and various other artists



I just want to talk to you
I won't uh, do you no harm
I just want to know about your different lives
on this here people farm

I heard some of you got your families
living in cages tall & cold
And some just stay there and dust away
past the age of old
Is this true?
Please let me talk to you

I just wanna know about
the rooms behind your minds
Do I see a vacuum there, or am I going blind?
Or is it just remains from vibrations and echoes long ago
Things like 'Love the World' and 'Let your fancy flow'
Is this true?
Please let me talk to you
Let me talk to you

I have lived here before, the days of ice
And of course this is why I'm so concerned
And I come back to find the stars misplaced
and the smell of a world that has burned

The smell of a world that has burned

Well, maybee, maybe it's just a change of climate
I can dig it, I can dig it baby, I just want to see

So where do I purchase my ticket
I would just like to have a ringside seat
I want to know about the new Mother Earth
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
Aw, shucks
If my daddy could see me now

Something For The Girl With Everything


Something For The Girl With Everything
Composer(s): Ron Mael
Performer(s): Sparks; Mark Burgess; Faith No More



Something for the girl with everything
See, the writings on the wall
You bought the girl a wall
Complete with matching ball-point pen
You can breathe another day
Secure in knowing she won't break you (yet)

Something for the girl with everything
Have another sweet my dear
Don't try to talk my dear
Your tiny little mouth is full
Here's a flavour you ain't tried
You shouldn't try to talk, your mouth is full

Something for the girl with everything
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Bearing gifts to aid amnesia
She knows everything
yes yes everyting
She knew way back when you weren't yourself

Something for the girl with everything
Here's a really pretty car
I hope it takes you far
I hope it takes you fast and far
Wow, the engines really loud
Nobody's gonna hear a thing you say

Something for the girl with everything
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Where should they leave these imported gimmicks
Leave them anywhere
An-an-anywhere
Make sure that there's a clear path to the door

Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here

Here's a patridge in a tree
A gardener for the tree
Complete with ornithologist
Careful, careful with that crate
You wouldn't want to dent Sinatra, no

Something for the girl who has got everything
Yes, yes, everything
Hey, come out and say hello
Before your friends all go
But say no more than just hello
Ah, the little girl is shy
You see of late she's been quite speechless
very speechless
She's got everything

Up In A Puff Of Smoke


Up In A Puff Of Smoke
Composer(s): Ron Roker; Gerry Shury; Phillip Swern
Performer(s): Polly Brown; The Rubinoos



Going up, up, up
Going up, going up
Going up, up, up

Going up, going up
Going up, up, up
Going up, going up, oh

Like a bubble
Headed for trouble
Wind is blowing
In the wrong direction
I was headed into danger
Too much in love to see

I pledged my trust in him
Believed in everything
Just had me on a string
And then he let me blow away

And now it's going
Up, up, up in a puff of smoke
It ain't no joke the way
He broke my heart
Going up, up, up in a puff of smoke
And I'm all choked up inside
To see my dreams just
Turn into ashes and all my
Hopes go up in a puff of smoke

Going up, going up
Going up, up, up
Going up, going up, oh

I aspire, took me higher than
A rocket on it's way to Heaven
Couldn't see those dangers coming
Cause I was flying blind

It hurt me deep inside
And broke my foolish pride
That my sweet talking guy
Was only talking lies

And now it's going
Up, up, up in a puff of smoke
It ain't no joke the way
He broke my heart
Going up, up, up in a puff of smoke
And I'm all choked up inside
To see my dreams just
Turn into ashes and all my
Hopes go up in a puff of smoke

He took me higher than a kite
Then dropped me like a light
Going up, up, up, up, up, up ,up
Thought I had a chance
But let me set you down
Going up, up, up, up, up, up ,up

Ooh, ooh, yeah
Going up, up, up, up, up, up ,up

Going up, up, up in a puff of smoke
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Going up, up, up in a puff of smoke
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Going up, up, up in a puff of smoke

Eitt Lag Enn


Eitt Lag Enn
First performance by: Stjórnin - 1990



Með þér - verð ég eins og vera ber
Alveg trylltur, kemst í takt við þig, þú tælir mig
Ég fer - eftir því sem augað sér
Þegar hugur girnist heimta ég, verð hættuleg

Eitt lag enn, ekta sveiflu og hér
Þreytist enginn, þú skalt dansa, það sem eftir er
Einn takt til! Tónar leika sér að
Því sem heillar mig og hæfir, beint í hjartastað

Hjá mér - engin spurning um það er
Þegar mætumst við á miðri leið, ég magna seið
Það er - ofsa fjör sem fylgir þér
Svo ég einhvern veginn umturnast, fæ æðiskast

Eitt lag enn, ekta sveiflu og hér
Þreytist enginn, þú skalt dansa, það sem eftir er
Einn takt til! Tónar leika sér að
Því sem heillar mig og hæfir, beint í hjartastað

Ég er frjáls í faðmi þér, við förum hvert sem er
Látum töfra lífsins tak' af okkur völd

Eitt lag enn, ekta sveiflu og hér
Þreytist enginn, þú skalt dansa, það sem eftir er
Einn takt til! Taflið snýst um það eitt
Að við höldum áfram hraðar, hikum aldrei neitt

Að við höldum áfram, hraðar nú
Hikum aldrei, ég og þú, - við neitt

Up In The World


Up In The World
Composer(s): Clifford T. Ward
Performer(s): Clifford T. Ward; Cliff Richard



You've come up in the world
And it's all to your credit
You made something of your life
Like you always said you would
But what ever happened to the girl
I used to know and all those halcyon days of love?

You've come up in the world
And it's such a shame
You made success of a dream
But it seems so empty now
With your weak excuses and your
Condescending ways and
Your all-too-frequent nights alone

Something For The Boys


Something For The Boys
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Evelyn Dall
and multiple other artists



I’m always doing something
Something for the boys
I’m always doing something
For the lads if it adds to their joy
So don’t tell me it’s a wrong thing
If I’m out with ‘em nightly till three
‘cos I’m always doing something for the boys
Or they’re doing something for me

Back in the days of gifty giving
When all God’s daddies had greens
I was oh so busy living
Beyond several gentlemen’s means
I didn’t care much where I fluttered
Long as my bank roll was buttered
But now my life’s completely cluttered
With soldiers, sailors
Not to speak of those big marines

‘cos I’m always doing something
Something for the boys
I’m always doing something
For the lads if it adds to their joy
So don’t tell me its a wrong thing
If I flop on some corporal’s knee
‘cos I’m always doing something for the boys
Or they’re doing something for me

Up On Cripple Creek


Up On Cripple Creek
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
Performer(s): The Band;
and various other artists



When I get off of this mountain
You know where I want to go
Straight down the Mississippi river
To the Gulf of Mexico
To Lake George, Louisiana
Little Bessie, girl that I once knew
And she told me just to come on by
If there's anything she could do

{Refrain}

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
Good luck had just stung me
To the race track I did go
She bet on one horse to win
And I bet on another to show
Odds were in my favor
I had him five to one
When that nag came around the track
Sure enough he had won

{Refrain}

I took up all of my winnings
And I gave my little Bessie half
And she tore it up and blew it in my face
Just for a laugh
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world
I sure would like to see
That's when that little love of mine
Dips her doughnut in my tea

{Refrain}

Now me and my mate were back at the shack
We had Spike Jones on the box
She said, "I can't take the way he sings
But I love to hear him talk"
Now that just gave my heart a fall
To the bottom of my feet
And I swore and I took another pull
My Bessie can't be beat

{Refrain}

Now, it's hot in California
And up north it's pretty cold
And this living off the road
Is getting pretty old
So I guess I'll call up my big mama
Tell her I'll be rolling in
Bet you know, deep down, I'm kinda tempted
To see my sweet Bessie again

{Refrain}

Give A Little Love Back To The World


Give A Little Love Back To The World
Composer(s): Paul Curtis
First performance by: Emma - 1990



We've come so far on this great planet
We should be proud of all the great things we've achieved
But in our search for life's great knowledge
We go on takin' out and never plant new seeds

Give a little love back to the world
We can't go on takin' out forever
Give a little love back to the world
We still got time, let's do it together
Give a little love back to the world

We've got to stop, think of tomorrow
One day our children may have nothing left to share
Let's do it now, then in the future
They will look back at us with pride and know we cared

Give a little love back to the world
We can't go on takin' out forever
Give a little love back to the world
We still got time, let's do it together

We got no time to hesitate
Tomorrow it may be too late

Give a little love back to the world
We can't go on takin' out forever
Give a little love back to the world
We still got time, let's do it together

We still got time, we can do it together
Give a little love back to the world
(Give a little love back) to the world
