Urban Guerilla


Urban Guerilla
Composer(s): Dave Brock; Robert Calvert
Performer(s): Hawkwind; Cobra Verde



I'm an urban guerilla
I make bombs in my cellar
I'm a derelict dweller
I'm a potential killer
I'm a street fighting dancer
I'm a revolutionary romancer
I'm society's cancer
I'm a two-tone panther
So let's not talk of love and flowers
And things that don't explode
We've used up all of our magic powers
Trying to do it in the road

I'm a political bandit
And you don't understand it
You took my dream and canned it
It is not the way I planned it
I'm society's destructor
I'm a petrol bomb constructor
I'm a cosmic light conductor
I'm the people's debt collector
So watch out Mr. Business Man
Your empire's about to blow
I think you'd better listen, man
In case you did not know

Fångad Av En Stormvind


Fångad Av En Stormvind
Composer(s): Stephan Berg
First performance by: Carola - 1991



Uh-huh yeah
Woh-ho-ho-oh

Jag har aldrig slutat tro
Att efter varje natt väntar gryningen
Fast jag inte kan förstå
Så finns det tid för skratt när jag börjar om igen

Känner doften från en stilla ocean
Plötsligt står jag i en levande orkan

Jag är fångad av en stormvind
Fast för dig
Ingenting kan hindra mig
När det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind
Natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag
Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar

Det är dags att ge sig av
För stunder som har flytt kommer aldrig mer
Reser ut på öppet hav
Där allting blir som nytt
I den framtid som du ger

Utan saknad lämnar jag min trygga hamn
Fri men ändå bunden till en öppen famn

Jag är fångad av en stormvind
Fast för dig
Ingenting kan hindra mig
När det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind
Natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag
Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar

Vi går tillsammans
Förenad av kärlekens band
Min längtan vaknar
När du ler och räcker mig din hand

Jag är fångad av en stormvind
Fångad av en stormvind
(Fast för dig)
Ingenting kan hindra mig
När det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind
Natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag
Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar

(Fångad av en stormvind)
Jag är fångad av en stormvind

Urbummellied


Urbummellied
(Traditional)
Composer(s): Karl Maria von Weber



Studio auf seiner Reis'
Juchheidi, juchheida
Ganz famos zu leben weiß
Juchheidi, heida!
Immerfort durch Dick und Dünn
Schlendert er durch's Dasein hin
Juchheidi, heidi
Heida, juchheidi, heida!

Hat der Studio auch kein Geld
Juchheidi, juchheida
Ist er drum nicht schlecht bestellt
Juchheidi, heida!
Manches feiste Pfäffelein
Ladet ihn zum Frühstück ein
Juchheidi, heidi, heida
Juchheidi, heida!

Kehren wir in's Wirtshaus ein
Juchheidi, juchheida
Trinken wir stets Bier und Wein
Juchheidi, heida!
Alle Mädel für uns glühn
Denn wir tragen schwartz-gold-grün
Juchheidi, heidi, heida
Juchheidi, heida!

Bayrisch Bier und Leberwurst
Juchheidi, juchheidaUnd ein Kind mit runder Brust
Juchheidi, heida!
Und ein Glas Krambambuli
Donnerwetter Paraplui!
Juchheidi, heidi, heida
Juchheidi, heida!

Und so geht es lustig fort
Juchheidi, juchheida
Lustig hier und lustig dort
Juchheidi, juchheida!
Manches Mädel sieht uns nach
Seufzt dabei ein stilles "Ach!"
Juchheidi, heidi, heida
Juchheidi, heida!

Something's Burning


Something's Burning
Composer(s): Mac Davis
First release by: Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



You lie in gentle sleep beside me
I hear your warm and rhythmic breathing
I take your hand and hold it tightly
Listen - can you not hear our young hearts gently beating
I kiss the sleep from your eyes
Your smile is sweeter than the morning, and here it comes

Can't you feel it baby
Can't you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, feel it
Fire, fire

Somethin's burnin'
Somethin's burnin'
Somethin's burnin'
And I think it's love

And now the sun is burning brightly
We lie in love so close together
I get the feeling deep inside me
My love for you will burn forever
I cup my hands to touch your face
And once again I feel your fire, and here it comes

Can't you feel it baby
Can't you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, feel it
Fire, fire

Somethin's burnin'
Somethin's burnin'
Somethin's burnin'
And I think it's love

And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love ...

Urgent D'Attendre


Urgent D'Attendre
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall



Regarde-moi quand tu danses
C'est bien mieux que parler trop
Regarde-moi si tu penses
Que ça peut te tenir chaud
Devant les coups de semonce
De ce monde déchiré
J'ai besoin d'une réponse
Quelque chose à commencer

Mais c'est urgent d'attendre
Que tout change
Urgent d'attendre
Qu'on comprenne
Urgent d'attendre
Que l'amour vienne
Comme le sang coule dans nos veines

Dis-moi si tu comprends tout
Des orages aux désespoirs
Des éclairs qui nous secouent
Et des foudres du hasard
Devant tout ce qui s'annonce
Sur ces rythmes saccadés
J'ai besoin d'une réponse
Quelque chose à essayer

Mais c'est urgent d'attendre
Que tout change
Urgent d'attendre
Qu'on comprenne
Urgent d'attendre
Que l'amour vienne
Comme le sang coule dans nos veines

Ou ou ou ou ou ou ou
Ou ou ou ou ou ou ou
Ou ou ou ou ou ou ou
C'est urgent d'attendre
C'est urgent d'attendre
Urgent d'attendre
Urgent d'attendre
Urgent d'attendre
(ad libitum)

Un Baiser Volé


Un Baiser Volé
Composer(s): Mick Wersant - Linda Lecomte - Patrick Hippert
First performance by: Sarah Bray - 1991



Comment peut-on unir les horizons?
Libres sont ceux ignorant la peine
La peur rend fou, appelle la haine
Le mal grandit dans nos esprits

Et pourtant l'amour est le sens de notre vie
Un baiser volé dans ce monde blessé peut nous apporter l'espérance

Saturé d'images, le monde se méfie
Les chemins du cœur ont des frontières
Une vie perdue, un arbre abattu, joignent mes larmes aux rivières

Et pourtant l'amour est le sens de notre vie
Un baiser volé dans ce monde blessé peut nous apporter l'espérance

Par nos yeux éblouis se remplissent nos mémoires
Le bonheur libère nos émotions (comme un baiser volé)
Comme un baiser volé (Comme un baiser volé)

Et pourtant l'amour est le sens de notre vie
Une histoire inventée, et l'espoir retrouvé
Créer un univers sans souffrance

Urubus


Urubus
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Urubus, vous n'avez pas de cri
Cri de chasse, cri d'amour, cri de peur
Urubus, vous attendez qu'on meure
Mort de faim, mort d'amour, mort de peur

Cercles noirs cisaillants le ciel vide
Sans espoirs, attentifs et avides
Sans beauté, sans couleur et sans race
Obstinés, nettoyeurs et voraces
Anonymes citoyens solitaires
Charognards, utiles, élémentaires
Voyageur si tu plies, si tu tombes
Méfie-toi de l^Òombre de ton ombre

Urubus, vous n'avez pas de cri
Cri de chasse, cri d'amour, cri de peur
Urubus, vous attendez qu'on meure
Mort de faim, mort d'amour, mort de peur

C'est ta vie qui ne tient qu'à un fil
Si tendu, si ténu, si fragile
Angle droit du désert du Sertão
Si stérile, si perdu, si brûlant
Le soleil, mangeur d'hommes et de fous
Immobile, efficace et tout roux
Trace encore quelques barreaux obliques
Entre toi et ta mort symétrique

Urubus, vous n'avez pas de cri
Cri de chasse, cri d'amour, cri de peur
Urubus, vous attendez qu'on meure
Mort de faim, mort d'amour, mort de peur

Le silence est un cri qu'on étouffe
Et la peur du sable dans ta bouche
La lumière un fusil dans les reins
La fatigue un foyer qu'on éteint
Tous tes pas dans la poussière qui danse
Sont comptés par le temps qui avance
Tu oublies et tu crois qu'il s'endort
Il te suivra jusqu'à Salvador

Tournez, Urubus
Quand la lumière des villes s'obscurcit vers le néon fragile!
Planez, Urubus
Au-dessus des soumis comme une ombre portée sur la vie!
Vivez, Urubus
Cachés dans vos buildings sans un cri, penchés sur vos plannings!
Vivez, Urubus
Glissez vos doigts d'acier dans nos démocraties avancées!
Tournez, Urubus
Donnez-nous un peu d'air et on vous laisse le phosphate et le fer!
Tournez, Urubus
Qui contrôlez le temps, mines d'or, de platine, de diamants!
Tuez, Urubus
Tout ce qui vous résiste, ce qui vit, qui respire, qui existe!
Fouillez, Urubus
Au fond de leurs entrailles, becs crochus, longs couteaux et tenailles!
Cherchez, Urubus
Ce qui nous fait marcher, ce qui nous fait rêver, nous aimer!
Planez, Urubus
Au-dessus du linceul que déchire le poing d'un homme seul!

Crevez, Urubus
Tombez comme des pierres sur la terre, le goudron en enfer!
Personne Urubus
Ne viendra vous becqueter
Même pas les fourmis rouges affamées

Urubus
Les aigles sont déchus
Innombrables vous gardez les issues!

Uruguay, Uruguay


Uruguay, Uruguay
Performer(s): León Gieco



Largo paradigma donde estaba la razón
Cuna de locura para verte quien sos vos
Montevedio en el cielo

Paga con la vida la esperanza y el amor
Vale mucho más dar algo que pedírtelo
Montevedio en el cielo

Ese tiempo pasará con la verdad que hay
Danza, danza el sueño, sueño de carnaval
Bajo las dos lunas con sus brillos de cristal
Una en lo alto la otra sobre ese mar
Uruguay, Uruguay, Uruguay, Uruguay...

Cada vez que el mundo mueve su gran corazón
toda su inocencia rueda bajo el sol
Montevedio en el cielo

El que tiene dos lunas también tiene doble sol
El que tiene tierra y río tiene gaviota y gorrión
Montevedio en el cielo

Ese tiempo pasará con la verdad que hay
Danza, danza el sueño, sueño de carnaval
Bajo las dos lunas con sus brillos de cristal
Una en lo alto la otra sobre ese mar
Uruguay, Uruguay, Uruguay, Uruguay...

Venedig im Regen


Venedig im Regen
Composer(s): Robby Musenbichler - Hubert Moser - Wolfgang Eltner
First performance by: Thomas Forstner - 1991



Lichter im Regen, ich hab' dich gesehen
Ein Lächeln wie sanfte Magie
Verzaubert, erfroren, ganz in dir verloren
Gefühle so tief wie die Nacht

Stilles Begreifen und Sehnsucht nach mehr
Zärtliche Augen, will dir gehör'n

Venedig im Regen
Lass uns diese Nacht einfach träumen
Venedig im Regen
Bis ans Ende der Nacht einfach träumen

Dein Atem ganz leicht, an meiner Schulter vergraben
Dein Zauber ganz tief in mir
Erfühlen, erahnen, von dir fortgetragen
Bei dir sein und doch nicht hier

Stilles Begreifen und Sehnsucht nach mehr
Zu zärtliche Augen, will dir gehör'n

Venedig im Regen
Lass uns diese Nacht einfach träumen
Venedig im Regen
Bis ans Ende der Nacht einfach träumen

Venedig im Regen
(Lass uns diese Nacht) einfach träumen
Venedig im Regen
Bis ans Ende der Nacht einfach träumen

Venedig im Regen
(Lass uns diese Nacht) einfach träumen
Träumen

Us And Them


Us And Them
Composer(s): Roger Waters; Rick Wright
Performer(s): Pink Floyd;
and various other artists



Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's noz what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the general sat and the lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down
But in the end it's only round and round.
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside

"I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short
sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off
lightly, 'cos I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners
don't cost nothing do they, eh?"

Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

Something Wonderful


Something Wonderful
Composer(s): Richard Rogers - Oscar Hammerstein II
First performance by: Terry Saunders - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists



This is a man who thinks with his heart
His heart is not always wise
This is a man who stumbles and falls
But this is a man who tries
This is a man you’ll forgive and forgive
And help and protect as long as you live

He will not always say
What you would have him say
But now and then he’ll say
Something wonderful

The thoughtless things he’ll do
Will hurt and worry you
Then all at once he’ll do
Something wonderful

He has a thousand dreams
That won’t come true
You know that he believes in them
And that’s enough for you

You’ll always go along
Defend him when he’s wrong
And tell him when he’s strong
He is wonderful
He’ll always need your love
And so he’ll get your love
A man who needs your love
Can be wonderful

He has a thousand dreams
That won’t come true
You know that he believes in them
And that’s enough for you

You’ll always go along
Defend him when he’s wrong
And tell him when he’s strong
He is wonderful
He’ll always need your love
And so he’ll get your love
A man who needs your love
Can be wonderful

Use It Wisely


Use It Wisely
Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn
Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn



Hear me you business blackmailers
When I see what you've done to the wild
I feel like a man standing over
The corpse of his murdered child

Use it wisely
Use it wisely ... go on
Reap your harvest, Wise Users
'Til everything is gone

Haul the last fish from the ocean
Poison the beds where they spawn
Drag the last tiger to market
So some prick can stand tall in Taiwan

Use it wisely
Use it wisely ... go on
Reap your harvest, Wise Users
'Til everything is gone

And if you lay drunk in your wasteland
I'd take your wallet and spit right in your eye
No point in explaining this action
You'll never get it 'til the day that you die

Use it wisely
Use it wisely ... go on
Reap your harvest, Wise Users
'Til everything is gone

If I gave you a gun with one bullet
For the honor left so far behind
Would you think what you've willed to your offspring
For nothing unto nothing consigned

Use it wisely
Use it wisely ... go on
Reap your harvest, Wise Users
'Til everything is gone

And yes, I believe there is beauty
And yes, I believe in truth
And in the seemingly infinite hunger
Of humans for destroying them both

Use it wisely
Use it wisely ... go on
Reap your harvest, Wise Users
'Til everything is gone

Canzone Per Te (Sandra Simó)


Canzone Per Te
Composer(s): Renato Mascetti
First performance by: Sandra Simó - 1991



Io questa sera vorrei sognare un po'
Con quattro note fermare la realtà
Poi nella mente ritorna l'allegria
Se c'è una canzone mia

Lei mi riporta a scoprire dentro me
Nei miei sorrisi la tua complicità
Poi dare un calcio alla mia tristezza che
C'è quando te ne vai

Portami via con te, non mi lasciare mai
Non voglio perderti, stringimi forte perché
C'è una canzone che ti parlerà di me
A lei affiderò tutto il mio amore per te

Poi ritrovarmi seduta dentro un bar
Con le mie note e un sogno dentro me
No, no, non serve fermare la realtà
Dai chiudi gli occhi e vai

Portami via con te, non mi lasciare mai
Non voglio perderti, stringimi forte perché
C'è una canzone che ti parlerà di me
A lei affiderò tutto il mio amore

Una canzone che canterò e vivrò con te

Well my friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
Well my answer said all that use me stuff
Is I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Uh huh, until you use me up

Well my brother, you know he sit me right down and he talked to me
Well he told me, that I ought not let you just walk on me
(Well, you too big for that boy)

I just said now brother if you only knew
You'd wish that you were in my shoes
Oh you just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Uh huh, until you use me up

Well sometimes, it's true you really do abuse me
Well you get me in a crowd of high class people
And then you act real rude to me
But oh baby, baby, baby, baby
When you love me I can't get enough

And I said I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me
(Come on now)
Until you use me up
Until you use me up

Talking 'bout you using me
well it all depends on what you do
it ain't too bad the way you're using me
cause I sure am using you to do the things you do
Uh huh, until you use me up
Oh no, Oh no, until you use me up
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Baby, just keep on using
Oh no, until you use me up
Until you use me up
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Until you use
me up
Funky, Funky, Funky, Funky, Funky, Funky, Funky, Funky, Funky, Funky,

Use Your Imagination


Use Your Imagination
Composer(s): Chip Davis; Stiles
Performer(s): Mud



How come you're the kind of guy
whose crawling round the garbage in the backstreet
It's time that you took of my friend
and found yourself another nightime beat
How come that hazy twilight world came down on you
and like a fog surrounds you
Stand over here right by my side
I'm gonna help you get back to your feet

Use your imagination
Open up your eyes
Use your imagination, c'mon and give it a try
Use your imagination
Open up your eyes
Use your imagination c'mon and give it a try

How come man, you're drinking, slowly sinking
making hookers on the backstreet
I'll get you 10 my friend
the ends you tie ain't ever gonna meet
How come with your shining daydream
dark clouds fell and turned the world against you
I've said it once I'll tell you now
right here's the place where you'll find all you need

Chorus

Could It Be


Could It Be
Composer(s): Paul Abela - Raymond Mahoney
First performance by: Georgina & Paul Giordimaina - 1991



Shadows fall, it's so lonely waiting here
There's a garden bare out there, where songbirds sing no more
No golden stardust shining and no lining on the cloud
Could it be you and me have found our rainbow's end?

Autumn leaves falling softly all around
There ain't but a single sound of voices I once knew
No silver star to follow and no moon to light the way
Could it be you and me are playing 'let's pretend'?

Won't you just call me?
If I'm to blame at all, I'll say I'm sorry
It's useless standing tall, I'm longing for your touch
I'm waiting for a love I knew so well
So well

Winter cold, and the wind blows through my hair
Deep inside you know I care, no matter what's in store
Our lines of love ain't rhyming and the rhythm is all gone
Could it be you and me can't say we're on the mend?
Let's pretend

Won't you just call me?
If I'm to blame at all, I'll say I'm sorry
It's useless standing tall, I'm longing for your touch
I'm waiting for a love I knew so well
Oo yeah...

Whoa whoa... won't you just call me?
That's all I need to hear to ease the worry
I'll kiss each lonely tear, to me you mean so much
God knows I speak the truth and time will tell

Oo...

Used To Bad News


Used To Bad News
Composer(s): Bradley Delp
Performer(s): Boston



Just let me hear it from your lips
It’s the last thing that I’ll ask you to say
Don’t wanna hear it from strangers
If it’s over let me have it straight

I’ve been used
But I’m takin’ it like a man
I’m confused
But I’m doin’ the best that I can

I’ve been tossed around plenty before
I’ve had this heart of mine broken and more
I can’t find a reason for sure
But I’ve gotten used to bad news
(can’t find me a reason for sure)

Don’t tell me why
Yes it’s over I can see the end
But please don’t lie
If you’re leavin’ me like a friend

I’ve been tossed around plenty of times
And I’ve read between all the lines
You’re just another in the grand design
And I’ve gotten used to bad news

I know what you’re sayin’ is bad
It’s not what I wanted but I’m ready for that
I’m ready for that, yea.

I’ve been used
But I’m takin’ it like a man
I’m confused
But I’m doin’ the best that I can

I’ve been tossed around plenty before
I’ve had this heart of mine broken and more
I can’t find a reason for sure
But I’ve gotten used to bad news
(can’t find me a reason for sure)

Something To Grab For


Something To Grab For
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): Ric Ocasek



If you want to hang on my shoulder
I'm standing here
If you want to do it all over
Let me get near
If you were another pretender
I'd pass you by
If you were a lost weekender
Maybe I'd try
When you gonna give me something to grab for
When you gonna put it in my sight
When you gonna give me something to grab for
When you gonna show me what it's like
If you want to talk about it
I got the time
When you're looking so enchanted
You cover my mind
If you think I'll wait forever
Maybe you're right
There's no such thing as now or never
There's only twilight
If you want to take it lightly
It won't make a sound
If you want to take me over
I won't turn you down
