New York's A Lonely Town
New York's A Lonely Town
Composer(s): Pete Andreoli; Vince Poncia
Performer(s): The Trade Winds; Bobby Sutliff
ooh, ooh, ooh, ahh, ahh, ahh
My folks moved to New York from California
I should have listened when my buddy said "I warn ya" (warn ya)
"There'll be no surfin' there and no one even ca-a-ares"
(My woody's outside) covered with snow
(Nowhere to go now)
New York's a lonely town
When you're the only surfer boy around
From Central Park to Pasadena's such a long way
I feel so out of it walkin' down Broadway (Broadway)
I feel so bad each time I look out there and fi-i-ind
(My woody's outside) covered with snow
(Nowhere to go now)
New York's a lonely town
When you're the only surfer boy around
ooh, ooh, ooh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
I feel so bad each time I look out there and fi-i-ind
(My woody's outside) covered with snow
(Nowhere to go now)
New York's a lonely town
When you're the only surfer boy around
ooh, ooh, ooh, ahh, ahh, ahh
ooh, ooh, ooh
Fade
ahh, ahh

Separarci un giorno potrai
Vieni qui ascoltami

Can I Put You On
Can I Put You On
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John
I work for the foundry for a penny and a half a day
Like a blind street musician I never see those who pay
It's dirty work in Birmingham
Better deal for a Sheffield man
If he can rivet then his kids can buy
Candy from the candy man
And the van that comes around weekends
Selling fancy city things
Sold by the man with the trilby hat
And the whiskers spread like wings
You can hear him sing
Oh you can hear him sing
Can I put you on, people can I put you on
Tell you that I love you people
Sing a salesman's song and put you on
And a second cousin works in the pits in Newcastle on Tyne
And he don't care if it rains outside, there's coal dust on his mind
It's dirty work in Manchester
But the crew gets paid its gelt
Bang on the bell on Friday
You buys a little something for yourself
And the van that comes around weekends
Selling fancy city things
Sold by the man in the trilby hat
And the whiskers spread like wings
You can hear him sing
Oh you can hear him sing
Can I put you on, people can I put you on
Tell you that I love you people
Sing a salesman's song and put you on

New York, New York (Gerard Kenny)
New York, New York
Composer(s): Gerard W. Kenny
Performer(s): Gerard Kenny; Shirley Bassey
I was eating a gyro sandwich walking down Eighth Avenue
When a young girl came up to me and said
"Brother, you got something I can chew?"
Well I kept walking along
trying to make up a song about what to do
Telling how the city lights and the Broadway nights
are like a dream come true
Good old...
Chorus:
New York, New York, so good they named it twice
New York, New York, all the scandal and the vice, I love it!
New York, New York, now isn't it a pity .........
What they say about New York City
It was a really nice night for a good street fight or a robbery
But I always knew in my home town that would never happen to me
I kept walking around trying to make up a sound 'bout what it's like to be
In the city of light on a rag time night, it's something more than free
In good old...
New York, New York, so good they named it twice
New York, New York, all the scandal and the vice, I love it!
New York, New York, now isn't it a pity .........
What they say about New York City
Every time I have to leave and travel far away
I am never ever happy 'til I'm home to stay
Home to stay in New York
(Piano Solo)
New York, New York, so good they named it twice
New York, New York,all the scandal and the vice, I love it!
New York, New York, now isn't it a pity.........
What they say about New York City

Alles ging zo snel voorbij
even had ik jou bij mij
't ging zo snel ik kreeg geen tijd
om te vragen oh blijf bij mij
Jij bent weg 't is weer stil om me heen
't wordt even wennen want ik ben weer alleen
toch vergeet ik jou nooit meer
nee ik denk telkens weer
Jij had mij niet moeten
dat je van me houdt
dan had ik nu kunnen zeggen
ga het laat me koud
geloof me geloof me
te snel ging dit voorbij
al kwam je maar om te zeggen ik blijf vrij
Oh ik hoop dat jij eens belt
en je mij dan eerlijk vertelt
waarom jij bent weggegaan
want dan weet ik wat ik heb gedaan
Jij had mij niet moeten zeggen
dat je van me houdt
dan had ik nu kunnen zeggen
ga het laat me koud
geloof me geloof me
jij had mij niet moeten zeggen
dat je van me houdt
dan had ik nu kunnen zeggen
ga het laat me koud

Ozzie:
Come on, Gabey, hurry up!
Chip:
Twenty-four hours!
Sailor:
Hey, why don't ya look where you're goin'.
You'd think it was your first time in New York!
Gabey:
It is!
(The sailors look around them, happily absorbing the scene)
Gabey, Chip, Ozzie:
New York, New York!
It's a helluva town!
Gabey:
We've got one day here and not another minute
To see the famous sights!
Ozzie:
We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it
Beneath the Broadway lights;
But we've hair on our chests
So what we like the best are the nights
Sights! Lights! Nights!
Gabey, Chip, Ozzie:
New York, New York, a helluva town
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down
The people ride in a hole in the groun'
New York, New York, it's a helluva town!
Chip:
(points to Empire State Building)
Hey, Gabey! Gabey, look
(consulting his guidebook with reverence and excitement)
Gabey, it says here "There are 20,000 streets in New York
not counting MacDougal Alley the heart of Green-Witch Village
a charming thoroughfare filled with..."
Ozzie:
Here we go again!
Chip:
The famous places to visit are so many
Or so the guidebooks say
I promised Daddy I wouldn't miss on any
And we have just one day
Got to see the whole town
From Yonkers on down to the Bay
Gabey, Chip, Ozzie:
In just one day!
New York, New York, a visitor's place
Where no one lives on account of the pace
But seven millions are screaming for space
New York, New York, it's a visitor's place!
(Two sailors enter, weaving and weary-looking
one happy, one very glum)
Gabey:
Hey! Look who's comin' back!
It's Tom and Andy!
Ozzie:
Hey, Tom, Andy!
Hey, fellas, how are the New York dames?
Andy:
Wonderful - I don't remember a thing!
Tom:
Awful! I remember everything!
(Tom and Andy exit)
Ozzie:
Manhattan women are dressed in silk and satin
Or so the fellas say
There's just one thing that's important in Manhattan
When you have just one day
Gotta pick up a date...
Chip:
Maybe seven...
Ozzie:
Or eight
On your way
Gabey, Chip, Ozzie:
In just one day!
New York, New York, a helluva town
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down
The people ride in a hole in the groun'
New York, New York, it's a helluva town!!

Io Canto
Io Canto
Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante; Marco Luberti
First release by: Riccardo Cocciante - 1979
La nebbia che si posa la mattina
Le pietre di un sentiero di collina
Il falco che s'innalzerà
Il primo raggio che verrà
La neve che si scioglierà correndo al mare
L'impronta di una testa sul cuscino
I passi lenti e incerti di un bambino
Lo sguardo di serenità
La mano che si tenderà
La gioia di chi aspetterà
Per questo e quello che verrà
Io canto
Le mani in tasca canto
La voce in festa canto
La banda in testa canto
Corro nel vento e canto
La vita intera canto
La primavera canto
La mia preghiera canto
Per chi mi ascolterà
Voglio cantare sempre cantare
L'odore del caffè nella cucina
La casa tutta piena di mattina
E l'ascensore che non va
L'amore per la mia città
La gente che sorriderà lungo la strada
I rami che si intrecciano nel cielo
Un vecchio che cammina tutto solo
L'estate che poi passerà
Il grano che maturerà
La mano che lo coglierà
Per questo e quello che sarà
Io canto
Le mani in tasca canto
La voce in festa canto
La banda in testa canto
Corro nel vento e canto
La vita intera canto
La primavera canto
La mia preghiera canto
Per chi mi ascolterà
Voglio cantare sempre cantare
Io canto
Le mani in tasca canto
La voce in festa canto
La banda in testa canto
Corro nel vento e canto
La vita intera canto

New York, New York
Composer(s): Nina Hagen; Karl Rucker; Steve Schiff
Performer(s): Nina Hagen
New York City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room
New York City is my favorite place
'Cause I know so many people with a golden face
Uh-huh!
It's always late at night when I wanna go out
And New York City has for sure the horniest crowd
Especially for me, this is true
I have the best time when you're there too
Honey, after the show, when we are ready to go
We are going disco
But before we hit East 7th Street
We are going to another disco
Disco after disco
And shaking our hair to the disco rap
AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
The newest club is opening up (3x)
New York, New York (4x)
Yeaaaahhhhhh!
New York City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room
Uh-huh!
New York City is a place so nice
Everybody says it so they had to name it twice
New York my happy love's you, I love you very much
I could not live without you, so let's always keep in touch
New York City has the fanciest rule
When you want to live in this town you just have to be a fool
After the show when we are ready to go
We are going disco
But before we hit East 7th Street
We are going to another disco
Disco, after disco
And shaking our hair to the disco rap
AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
The newest club is opening up (3x)
New York, New York (8x)
Yeah
It's going hop hop hop hop hop hop
Straight up to the top
Hop hop hop hop hop hop
Straight up to the top
Let there be light
'Cause David Bowie's gonna be here tonight in New York
I create ecstacy in my world
I know who I am
And I am willing to declare myself to the world
I am a staaaaaaarrrrrrr!
In New York
Whosoever with me...

Io Camminerò
Io Camminerò
Composer(s): Giancarlo Bigazzi; Umberto Tozzi
Performer(s): Umberto Tozzi
La mia donna, la sua allegria
che mi riscalderà col fuoco di un'idea
uomo solo, uomo a metà
domani nei suoi occhi tutto il resto affogherà
E cascate d'amore noi
le nebbie del passato non ci inquineranno mai
a quest'ora ti sento mia
l'avrai già lasciato con disprezzo e poesia
Bianchi zingari i passi tuoi
nell'anima il silenzio da quanto tempo hai
io d'amore ti vestirò
ma non dovrai tremare dove io ti porterò
Io camminerò, tu mi seguirai
angeli braccati noi
ci sarà un cielo ed io lavorerò, tu mi aspetterai
e una sera impazzirò
quando mi dirai che un figlio avrai, avrò ...
Sciogli i dubbi e i capelli tuoi
perché sei così bella se non sai quello che vuoi
io d'amore ti vestirò
ma non mi domandare dove io ti porterò
Io camminerò, tu mi seguirai
angeli sbagliati noi
ci sarà un cielo ed io lavorerò tu mi aspetterai
e una sera impazzirò
quando mi dirai che un figlio avrai, avrò ...

New-York, New York
Ça c'est du nouveau
Je viens d'y penser
Je veux partir à ta conquête New-York New-York
J'ai comme un grand show au bout des souliers
J'ai mis de l'or à mes paillettes New-York New-York
Je me vois reine de ce temple de la musique
J'ai tous les rois de la ville dans le public
Cent mille bravos
Et tous ces bravos croulent de tous côtés
C'est qui claque dans ma tête mon vieux New-York
Et si j'ai su te plaire c'est à la terre entière
Que je plairais New-York New-York

Invitation To The Blues
Invitation To The Blues
Composer(s): Doris Fisher; Arthur Gershwin; Allan Roberts
Performer(s): Julie London
and multiple other artists
My heart was all dressed up to go dancing
I had a brand new shine on my views
The roses you sent for, the line that I went for
Was just an invitation to the blues
The very thought of love was entrancing
I figured I had nothing to lose
Your smile so elusive, your kiss so exclusive
Was just an invitation to the blues
I went to town, priced a wedding gown
Put my little red book on the shelf
Hired a hall, got the band and all
And marched down the aisle by myself
I guess you can't depend on romancing
It puts your heart right down in your shoes
Instead of a wedding for which I was heading
I got an an invitation to the blues

Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists
Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
They are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city
That doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York

Invitation (The MGM Studio Orch.)
Invitation
Composer(s): Bronislaw Kaper; Paul Francis Webster
First release by: The MGM Studio Orch. - 1952
Covered by multiple other artists
You and your smile hold a strange invitation
Somehow it seems
We've shed our dream but we're
Time after time in a room full of strangers
Out of the blue, suddenly you were there
Wherever I go you're the glow of temptation,
Glancing my way in the grey of the dawn
And always your smile holds that strange invitation
Then you are gone
Where oh where have you gone
How long must I live in a world of illusion
Be where you are so near yet so far, apart
Hoping you'll say with a sweet invitation
Where have you been, darling come in
Into my heart

New York, New York
Composer(s): E. Fletcher;
Melvin Glover; Reggie Griffin; Sylvia Robinson
Performer(s): Grandmaster Flash
Ah New York New York big city of dreams
And everything in New York ain't always what it seems
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law and I know my way around, too much
Ah too many people, too much -- a ha hah
Too much, too many people, too much, rrrrrrrah!
A castle in the sky, one mile high
Built to shelter the rich and greedy
Rows of eyes, disguised as windows
Lookin DOWN on the poor and the needy
Miles of people, marchin up the avenue
Doin what they gotta do, just to get by
I'm livin in the land of plenty and many
But I'm damn sure poor and I don't know why
Too much, ah too many people, too much
Too much, too many people, too much!
A man's on a ledge, says he's gonna jump
People gather round, said, "He won't he's just a chump"
Cause he lost his job, then he got robbed
His mortgage is due and his marriage is through
He says he ain't gonna pay no child support
Because the bitch left him without a second thought
He got nothin to eat, no shoes on his feet
She even left his clothes, out in the street
He keeps hearin noises when he's at home
He always hears voices when he's all alone
His wife took the kids, the car and the crib
In this man's world, so much for women's lib
New York New York big city of dreams
But everything in New York ain't always what it seems
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law, and I know my way around
Down in the Village, you might think I'm silly
but you can't tell the women from the men sometimes
They're sugar and spice and everything nice
But when you get em home ain't no tellin what you find
Right next door is a little old man
I seen him eatin dog food out of a can
He says, "I got to eat, when I can't afford meat
I barely can stand, on my own two feet"
I got a bad habit and I just can't break it
Somethin's on my mind and I just can't shake it
I need some time, and I want some space
I gotta get away from the human race
Too much, ah too many people, too much... a-ha hah
Too much, ah too many people, too much! Rrrrrrrah!
Stand at a skyscraper reachin into heaven
When over in the ghetto I'm livin in hell
Just play ball or be an entertainer
cause niggaz like me can't read too well
Nobody loves me, nobody cares
I dreamed about a life but I'm livin in a nightmare
Paranoid schitzo, set back, snowbound
Bad news psycho, heart attack, breakdown!
Hee, huh (16X) HUH!
If only I could sleep just ten more minutes
I might find the strength to make another day
If I didn't have to get up, and do my thing
I would probably sleep my whole life away
I messed up a nice dream, somethin bout ice cream
Whipped cream fruits and a cherry on top
Now I gotta get up and face the world, huh
The pressure is on it ain't never gonna stop
I sho' gotta learn to use my mind
I don't wanna be kissin nobody's behind
Just standin on line lookin like a jerk
Gotta get off my butt and do a full day's work
I ran into a pothole, got into a car crash
Shoulda been thinkin and tried to fake whiplash
A crowd gathered round, they're callin me fat
Who you lookin at wit a face like that?
New York New York big city of dreams
Everything in New York ain't always what it seems
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law and I know my way around
On 42nd Street, lookin for some action
Women standin on the corner sellin satisfaction
One young punk just leanin on the fence
Tryin to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
Really is a prankster, tried to be a gangster
Real big wheel when a gun is in his hands
Just did a stick-up, just got picked up
One dead punk, killed by the man
New York New York big city of dreams
And everything in New York ain't always what it seem
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law and I know my way around
Too much, too many people, too much... ah ha hah hah
Too much, too many people, too much! HUAHH!
A baby cries and a mother dies
And the tears fall from the doctor's eyes because
in this room, on this day
The Good Lord has giveth, and taketh away, huh
The gift of life really means a lot
And in the ghetto your life is all you got
So you take to the streets, tryin to exist
in the trash and slime of a world like this
What you watch, on TV
a tells you what life is supposed to be
But when you look outside the only thing you see
Is the poverty stricken, reality, heh
Abandoned places, angry faces
Much hate and hunger through-out the races
You say, "I'm grown and I'm on my own
So why don't everybody just leave me alone!"
Now you stay at home, talkin on the phone
Doin ninety miles an hour in the fifty mile zone
They never took the time to tell you bout sex
So you had to learn about it in the discotheques
Nine months later, the baby is there
and the nigga that did it said, "I don't care!"
You don't have enough money to help feed two
So you have to choose between the baby and you
The sky was cryin, rain and hail
When you put yo' baby in the garbage pail
Then you kissed the kid and put down the lid
And you tried to forget what you just did, huh
The muffled screams of a dyin baby
was enough to drive the young mother crazy
so she ran in the rain tryin to ease the pain
Huh huh, and she drove herself insane
New York New York big city of dreams
But everything in New York ain't always what it seem
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law and I know my way around
Ah too much, too many people, too much... ah ha hah hah
Too much, too many people, too much! HUHHH!
So what's happenin man? What's happenin?
Man you should see these bad girls out here workin the corner
Loose joints, loose joints!
A hah hah hah
Aiyyo baby won't you come here man gimme a little somethin
Let's try to get the money man
Aiyyo aiyyo y'all know this dude look he comin right here let's rob him man
Ohh yeah yeah

Hey slick, you know your way to Sugarhill Records?
Ay man that's in Jersey nigga! C'mere c'mere man whassup wit you?
(conversation disolves into a fight)
New York New York big city of dreams
But everything in New York ain't always what it seems
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law and I know my way around
Too much, too many people, too much... ha hah hah hah
Too much, too many people, too much

Invitation to love again
Welcome to my heart
Step into my love again
Are you ready to love again?
Welcome to my heart
Step into my love again
I daydream about
The first time
That I fell in love
I lived on a street
Called cloud nine
Among the stars above
And even though you let me go
I never understood the game
For all this time I've cared for you
And still I have a burning flame
Invitation
Welcome to my heart again
Are you ready?
Step into my love again
I used to watch sunshine
On your lovely face
Our love was filled with
Emotion of a heated rage
But now that I have come of age
I recognize your quality
And now I feel deep down inside
That you are the one for me
Invitation
Why can't we be more than friends?
Are you ready?
Dance into my love again
Invitation
Come on let the magic in
I know you're ready
This is where our love begins

I will always be baby
Love will always be baby

New York State Of Mind
New York State Of Mind
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel;
and various other artists
Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood
I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind
I seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'M needing and I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News...
It comes down to reality-and it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or Riverside
I don't have any reasons, I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News...
I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind

Well I've been waiting, waiting here so long
But thinking nothing, nothing could go wrong, ooh now I know
She has a built in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart
Well I don't really know her, I only know her name
But she crawls under your skin, you're never quite the same, and now I know
She's got something you just can't trust
It's something mysterious
And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart
She don't like losing, to her it's still a game
And though she will mess up your life
You'll want her just the same, and now I know
She has a built in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I've fallen, fallen for her

Composer(s): Don Henley; Danny Kortchmar; Jai Winding
Performer(s): The Eagles;
and various other artists
Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he won't be down on Wall Street
in the morning
He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As years unfold
One day he crossed some line
And he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Things can get pretty strange
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Lying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency
Somebody's going to jail
If you find somebody to love in this world
You better hand on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Things can get a little strange
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
And in these days
When darkness falls early
And people rush home
To the ones they love
You better take a fool's advice
And tak care of your own
One day they're here
Next day they're gone
I pulled my coat around my shoulders
And took a walk down through the park
The leaves were falling around me
The groaning city in the gathering dark
On some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark
"Baby, I've changed
Please come back"
What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
The days were so much brighter
In the time when she was here
But I know there's somebody somewhere
Make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day, I have to believe
I believe, I believe
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
You can get out of the rain
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
