Rock & Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life)
Rock & Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life)
Composer(s): Kevin Johnson
Performer(s): Mac Davis
I can still remember
When I bought my first guitar
Remember just how good the feeling
To put it proudly in my car
And my fam'ly listened fifty times
To my two song repertoire
I told my mom
Her only son was gonna be a star
Bought all the Beatles records
I sounded just like Paul
I bought all the old Chuck Berry's - 78's and all
I sat by my record player
Playing ev'ry note they played
I watched them all on TV
Making ev'ry move they made
Rock and roll, I gave you all
The best years of my life
All the dreamy sunny Sundays
All the moonlit summer nights
I was so busy in the backroom
Writing love songs to you
While you were changing your direction
And you never even knew
That I was always just one step behind you
Sixty-six seemed like the year
I was really going somewhere
We were living in San Francisco
With flowers in our hair
Singing songs of kindness
So the world would understand
To the guys and me you were something more
Than just another band
And then sixty-nine in L.A.
Came around so soon
We were really making headway
And writing lots of tunes
And we must have played
The wildest stuff that we had ever played
And the way the crowds cried out for us
We thought we had it made
Rock and roll, I gave you all
The best years of my life
All the crazy, lazy, young days
All the magic moon at night
I was so busy on the road
Singing love songs to you
While you were changing your direction
And you never even knew
That I was always just one step behind you
Seventy-one and so alone
When I met Susanne
I was trying to go it solo
With someone else's band
She came up to me later
And I took her by the hand
And I told her all my troubles
And she seemed to understand
And she followed me to London
Through a hundred hotel rooms
Through a hundred record companies
Who didn't like my tunes
She followed me when finally
I sold my old guitar
She tried to help me
Understand I'd never be a star
Rock and roll, I gave you
All the best years of my life
All the dreamy, sunny Sundays
All the moonlit summer nights
And though I never knew
The magic of making it with you
That I thank the Lord for giving me
The little bit I knew
And I was always just one step behind you

Rock & Roll
Rock & Roll

Jenny said, when she was just five years old
There was nothin' happening at all
Every time she puts on the radio
There was nothin' goin' down at all, not at all
Then, one fine mornin', she puts on a New York station
You know, she couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started shakin' to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock 'n'roll
Despite all the imputations
You know, you could just go out
And dance to a rock'n'roll station
And it was all right, hey baby
You know, it was all right
Jenny said, when she was just about five years old
`You know, my parents are gonna be the death of us all
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars
Well, you know, ain't gonna help me at all`
Then, one fine morning, she turns on a New York station
She doesn't believe what she hears at all
Ooh, she started dancin' to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock 'n'roll
Yeah, rock 'n'roll
Despite all the computations
You could just dance to that rock 'n'roll station
And baby, it was all right, yeah
Hey, it was all right
Hey, here she comes now
Jenny said, when she was just about five years old
'Hey, you know, there's nothin' happening at all, not at all
Every time I put on the radio
You know, there's nothin' goin' down at all, not at all
But, one fine morning, she hears a New York station
She couldn't believe what she heard at all, hey, not at all
She started dancing to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock 'n'roll
Yes, rock 'n'roll
Despite all the computations
You know, you could just dance to the rock 'n'roll station
All right
All right, all right, and it was all right
Oh, listen to me now, it was all right

The Town I Loved So Well
The Town I Loved So Well
Composer(s): Phil Coulter - B. Martin
Performer(s): Phil Coulter
In my memory I will always see
The town that I have loved so well
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall
And we laughed through the smoke and smell
Going home in the rain running up the dark lane
Past the jail and down beside the fountain
Those were happy days in so many many ways
In the town I loved so well
In the early morn the shirt factory horn
Called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog
While the men on the dole played a mothers role
Fed the children and then trained the dog
And when times got tough, there was just about enough
But they saw it through without complaining
For deep inside was a burning pride
In the town I loved so well
There was music there in the Derry air
Like a language that we could all understand
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
as I played in a small pickup band
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
I was sad to leave it all behind me
For I'd learned about life and I'd found a wife
In the town I loved so well
But when I returned how my eyes were burned
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze
Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall
And the damned barbed wire
gets higher and higher
With their tanks and guns
Oh my God, what have they done
To the town I loved so well

Come to me

In this world you'll need someone
I will never let you down
Come to me
Let me love you honey
In my arms
Darling tonight
Come to me
Come to me
All your cares will be history
When you come to me

Robinson Crusoe
Robinson Crusoe
Composer(s): D. Zimmerman; G. Moroder; F. Jay
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Ich war noch ein Kind
Da gab es für mich nur einen Mann
Ich träumte von ihm
Und sah ihn als einen Helden an
Und das war Robinson Crusoe
Auf seiner Insel ganz allein
Robinson Crusoe
Ich dachte, "Herrlich, könnte ich nur bei ihm sein"
Mit siebzehn kam dann ein Freund
Und den fand ich wunderbar
Weil er so wie ich romantisch
Und voller Träume war
Wir spielten Robinson Crusoe
Abends im kleinen Park zu zwei'n
Robinson Crusoe
Und das war herrlich denn ich durfte bei ihm sein
Eines Abends hat er mich dann geküsst
Was doch gar nicht im Buch geschrieben ist
Doch dann begann erst die schönste Zeit
Denn wir lieben uns noch heut'
Dank unser'm Robinson Crusoe
Auf seiner Insel ganz allein
Robinson Crusoe
Sind wir zusammen und wir werden's immer sein
Robinson Crusoe
Sind wir zusammen und wir werden's immer sein

The Torture Never Stops
The Torture Never Stops
Composer(s): Frank Zappa
Performer(s): Frank Zappa
Flies all green and buzzin'
in this dungeon of despair
Prisoners grumble and piss their clothes
and scratch their matted hair
A tiny light, from a window hole
a hundred yards away
is all they ever gets to know
about the regular light in the day
And it stinks so bad, the stones been chokin'
and weepin' greenish drops
In the room where the giant fire puffer works
and the torture never stops
The torture never stops
Slime and rot, rats and snot
and vomit on the floor
Fifty yoogly soldiers, man
holdin' spears by the iron door
Knives and spikes, and guns and the likes
of every tool of pain
And a sinister midget, with a bucket and a mop
where the blood goes down the drain
And it stinks so bad, the stones been chokin'
and weepin' greenish drops.
In the room where the giant fire puffer works
and the torture never stops
The torture never stops
The torture... the torture...
The torture never stops
Flies all green and buzzin'
in this dungeon of despair
An evil prince eats a steaming pig
in a chamber right near there
He eats the snouts and the trotters first
The loins and the groins is soon dispersed
His carvin' style is well rehearsed
He stands and shouts
All men be cursed!
All men be cursed!
All men be cursed!
All men be cursed!
And disagree?
Well, no one durst
He's the best, of course, of all the worst
Some wrong been done, he done it first
And it stinks so bad, his bones been chokin'
and weepin' greenish drops
In the night of the iron sausage
where the torture never stops
The torture never stops
The torture... the torture...
The torture never stops
Flies all green and buzzin'
in this dungeon of despair
Who are all those people
that he's locked away down there?
Are they crazy?
Are they sainted?
Are they zeroes
someone painted?
And it's never been explained
since it first it was created
But a dungeon, like a sin
requires not but lockin' in
of everything that's ever been
Look at her
Look at him
That's what's the deal we're dealin' in
That's what's the deal we're dealin' in
That's what's the deal we're dealin' in
That's what's the deal we're dealin' in

Come The Day
Come The Day
Composer(s): Bruce Woodley
Performer(s): The Seekers; Judith Durham
I know that one day soon a song shall rise
You'll hear it with the sleep still in your eyes
You'll waken to a brand new day
Can you hear bells ringin'
Voices singin'
Far away?
A time when every man will be as one
A time to reach right out and touch the sun
Come the day
Freedom's still a thought within your mind
The fleeting thing that some may never find
It may be still a million miles away
Can you hear bells ringin'
Voices singin'
Far away?
A time to live without doubt or fear
Welcome to the happy world that will be here
Come the day
The trumpets of war will cease to blow
The sound I hope that we may never know
We're waiting for the day
Can you hear bells ringin'
Voices singin'
Far away?
Lift up your voices and sing this song
Let the whole world hear it loud and strong
Can you hear bells ringin'
Voices singin'
Far away?

Robins And Roses
Robins And Roses
Composer(s): Edgar Leslie; Joe Burke
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists
Robins and roses, and maybe a tree
A few morning glories, a cottage two storeys high
Robins and roses, and your love for me
To live on forever, and my love to never die
A place where neighbours may drop in
And smile when they see
An armchair to flop in
We can add to their glee serving afternoon tea
Mid robins and roses, and then life will be
A poem by Kipling, while troubles go rippling by

Performer(s): Rita Pavone
Come te non c'è nessuno
tu sei l'unico al mondo
nei tuoi occhi profondi io vedo

Come te non c'è nessuno
così timido e solo
se hai paura del mondo rimani
vicino a me
Amore dimmi
cosa mai posso fare per te?
I pensieri dividi con me
Io ti voglio aiutare, amore amor
Come te non c'è nessuno
è per questo che t'amo
ed in punta di piedi entrerò
nei tuoi sogni segreti
Come te non c'è nessuno
nessuno... nessuno...
