Sing A Song Of Sunbeams


Sing A Song Of Sunbeams
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Bob Cats; John Scott Trotter



Some search for solace in a sad and somber song
And delve into the depths of that dominion
While others thrive on things that terrify the throng
I guess it's just a matter of opinion

'Cause I say sing a song of sunbeams
Let the notes fall where they may
Sing a song of sunbeams
In a light fantastic way

Show the blues you're busy
That you just can't be annoyed
And they'll up and go, 'cause they know
They're null and void

People all are suckers for a grin
You give out, they're gonna give in
People always love a jolly gent
They might even make you president

Why don't you sing a song of sunbeams
Let the notes fall where they may
Sing a song of sunbeams
In a light fantastic way

Life is never perfect
But it isn't always wrong
So the only thing to do is sing
A sunbeam song

People Like You, People Like Me


People Like You, People Like Me
Composer(s): Gerry Sheppard; John Springate
Performer(s): Glitter Band



Let's get together again
all you need is here to stay
Let's get together again
forget about your yesterdays
Let's get together again
all you need is here to stay

Let's get together again
forget about your yesterdays

It's been a very long long time since I last remember seeing you
I hope you'll write and say you're fine
did you ever sit and dream of a time when we could meet again
it's very hard now you're not mine
The phone's right next to you and you know just what to do
Just pick it up and call my name

Let's get together again
all you need is here to stay

Tomorrow's just a step away till I come running back to you
I hope you'll stay here by my side; I thought I'd never see
My angel back here next to me
Promise me that you won't hide
The phone's right next to you and you know just what to do

Let's get together again
all you need is here to stay

And you know there ain't much time
I'm so alone please come home
I'm on my own let's get together again

All you need is here to stay

Stop, Mens Legen Er Go'


Stop, Mens Legen Er Go'
First performance by: Ulla Pia - 1966



Går en pige hjem fra sit første bal
Sker det, at hendes ven går blot lidt for vidt
Ja, det sker så tit, men hun svarer igen

Stop, ja, stop, ja, stop, mens legen er go'
For jeg kan fornemme, at du nok vil glemme
At jeg må hjem klokken to
Tænk, ja, tænk, ja, tænk om drømmene brast
For du ka' vel nok forstå
Tiden går helt i stå, når du holder så fast

Lad os bare vandre af sted uden mål eller med
Nyde stjernehimmelens ro, den er skabt for os to

Kom, ja, kom, ja, kom, måske si'r jeg top
Når tiden er inde til kærlighedspuslespil
Det bli'r uden et 'stop'

Lad os bare vandre af sted uden mål eller med
Nyde stjernehimmelens ro, den er skabt for os to

Kom, ja, kom, ja, kom, måske si'r jeg top
Når tiden er inde til kærlighedspuslespil
Det bli'r uden et 'stop'

People Have The Power


People Have The Power
Composer(s): Patti Smith; Fred "Sonic" Smith
Performer(s): Patti Smith



I was dreaming in my dreaming
of an aspect bright and fair
and my sleeping it was broken
but my dream it lingered near
in the form of shining valleys
where the pure air recognized
and my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry
that the people / have the power
to redeem / the work of fools
upon the meek / the graces shower
it's decreed / the people rule

The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power

Vengeful aspects became suspect
and bending low as if to hear
and the armies ceased advancing
because the people had their ear
and the shepherds and the soldiers
lay beneath the stars
exchanging visions
and laying arms
to waste / in the dust
in the form of / shining valleys
where the pure air / recognized
and my senses / newly opened
I awakened / to the cry

Refrain

Where there were deserts
I saw fountains
like cream the waters rise
and we strolled there together
with none to laugh or criticize
and the leopard
and the lamb
lay together truly bound
I was hoping in my hoping
to recall what I had found
I was dreaming in my dreaming
god knows / a purer view
as I surrender to my sleeping
I commit my dream to you

Refrain

The power to dream / to rule
to wrestle the world from fools
it's decreed the people rule
it's decreed the people rule

Listen
I believe everything we dream
can come to pass through our union
we can turn the world around
we can turn the earth's revolution
we have the power
People have the power ...

Sing A Song Of Sixpence


Sing A Song Of Sixpence
(Traditional)



Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing
Was that not a tasty dish
To set before a king?
The King was in his counting house
Counting out his money
The Queen was in the parlor
Eating bread and honey
The Maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes
When down came a blackbird
And snapped off her nose!

People Got To Be Free


People Got To Be Free
Composer(s): Felix Cavaliere; Edward Brigati Jr.
Performer(s): The Rascals;
and various other artists



All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be
Deep in the valley, people got to be free

You should see
what a lovely, lovely world this'd be
Everyone learned to live together, ah-hah-unh
Seems to me
such an itty bitty thing should be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another?

All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
I can't understand it, so simple to me
People everywhere just got to be free

If there's a man
who is down and needs a helpin' hand
All it takes is you to understand and to pull him through, ah-hah-unh
Seems to me
we got to solve it individually, ah-hah-unh
And I'll do unto you what you do to me

Shout it from the mountain on out to the sea
No two ways about it, people have to be free
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
Nat'ral situation for a man to be free
Git right on board now

Oh, what a feelin's just come over me
Love can move a mountain, make a blind man see
Everybody sing it now come on let's go see
Deep in the valley now, we ought to be free

See that train over there?
That's the train of freedom
It's about to 'rrive any minute, now
You know it's been'a long, long overdue
Look out 'cause it's a'comin' right on through

Die Zeiger Der Uhr


Die Zeiger Der Uhr
First performance by: Margot Eskens - 1966



Du liest noch manchmal die alten Briefe, die er dir schrieb
Worin dir jede Zeile sagte: "Ich hab dich lieb"
Du schliesst die Augen und träumst von ihm
Und vom verlornen Glück

Doch die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur
Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück

Du hast noch viele schöne Bilder aus jener Zeit
Um diese wunderbaren Jahre tut es dir leid
Du schliesst die Augen, träumst von ihm
Und vom verlornen Glück

Doch die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur
Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück

Du fühlst dich einsam und träumst von gestern
Doch du lebst heut
Einer wird kommen, der dich von deinen Träumen befreit
Du schliesst die Augen
Und dann beginnt für dich ein neues Glück

Denn die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur
Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück

Die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur
Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück

People Get Ready


People Get Ready
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Performer(s): The Impressions



People get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord

People get ready, there's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among those loved the most
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner whom would hurt all
mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there is no hiding place against the kingdoms throne

People get ready there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket, just thank the lord

People Are Strange


People Are Strange
Composer(s): John Densmore; Robbie Krieger;
Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors



People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

Non À Jamais Sans Toi


Non À Jamais Sans Toi
First performance by: Yovanna - 1965



Non - par le temps perdu à n'avoir voulu que toi
Non - par le temps passé à ne plus penser qu'à toi
Va, tu vois, c'est demain déjà
Va, tu n'as rien compris
Va, tu vois, je ne pleure pas
Aujourd'hui je te dis

Non - par les grands chemins revenus de loin pour toi
Non - par les nuits d'été qui n'ont fait danser que toi
Va, jusqu'au bout de l'horizon
Aujourd'hui c'est non

Non - parce qu'un matin ne restera rien de toi
Non - il viendra le jour du prochain amour sans toi
Va, tu vois, c'est demain déjà
À jamais sans toi
Va, tu vois, c'est demain déjà
À jamais sans toi

People Are Funnier Than Anybody


People Are Funnier Than Anybody
Composer(s): Eddie Brandt; Finberg
Performer(s): Spike Jones



Everyone say to begin the beguine
but no-one she begins him, so I will tell you how
First you lift your right leg, like this
Then you lift your left leg, like this
Then you lift both your legs together, like this
There must be an easier way to do this, I think

This is our philosophy
This is our philosophy
And we're sure, that you'll agree
People are funnier that anybody

Woman needs five dollars bad
Beauty facial must be had
Husband can't spare the money, of course
But he puts ten dollars on the nose of a horse

Wife can't see well enough to drive
Car through garage-doors twelve foot wide
But on husbands suit of grey
She can spot a blond hair from a block away

This is our philosophy
This is our philosophy
And we're sure, that you'll agree
People are funnier that anybody

Husband plays poker and enjoys
Sitting up all of night with the boys
But at home with his wife he'll fight
If he has to sit ten minutes with the baby at night

Wife runs faster than any gale
When she hears of a one-cent sale
"I'm saving you money" to her husband she'll blab
But to get to the sale she takes a taxi-cab

This is our philosophy
This is our philosophy
And we're sure, that you'll agree
People are funnier that anybody

Man gets married, says it's one good deal
He waited years for a homecooked meal
When wife has nice hot dinner on plate
He comes home from the poolroom two hours late

When single man kiss his girl goodnight
He gets filled with thrilled delight
But when husband kiss his wife, to say the least
He gets his nose caught in a curler and his whole face greased

People (King Crimson)


People
Composer(s): Adrian Belew; Bill Bruford;
Robert Fripp; Trey Gunn; Tony Levin; Pat Mastelotto
Performer(s): King Crimson



People fly
People flee
People clam and say "it wasn't me"
People fish
People beef
People arm to teeth
Yes, you've got people on the tube
Walking on the moon
People at the bottom of the sea
People in tombs
People in igloos
Even a tribe of pygmies

People are the main spring
Turning the world around
People, they're the main spring
Spinning this world upside down

People sun
People toast
People tire Chile
Other people smoke
People bowl
People rock
people pay to see two people box

Watch me
Face me
Dress me
Baby me
Phone me
Wire me
House me
Bug me
Fire me

People are the main spring
Spinning the world around
People, they're the main spring
Turning this world inside out

Cežnja


Cežnja
First performance by: Vice Vukov - 1965



Šumi, šumi more pjenom bijelom dok nemirni val
Donosi svaki put odjeke sjecanja
Odjeke maštanja na ovaj žal, tihi žal

Tiho šumi, šumi more kao nekad u danima sna
Kad smo na pješcanom tlu umorni zaspali
Zaspali tu, tu na tlu vreloga juga

Oh... pricaj, more, pricaj meni ti
O svitanju jutra moje cežnje za njom

Tiho šumi, šumi more k'o da želi da isprica sad
Šapatom cutanja sve o jednoj ljubavi
Ro?enoj tu, tu na tlu vreloga juga

Oh... pricaj, more, pricaj meni ti
O svitanju jutra moje cežnje za njom
Moje duboke ?ežnje za njom

People (Barbra Streisand)


People
Composer(s): Bob Merrill; Jule Styne
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand



People
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children, needing other children
And yet letting a grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
With one person one very special person
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world …

Sing A Sad Song


Sing A Sad Song
Composer(s): Wynn Stewart
First release by: Merle Haggard - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists



Sing me a song of sadness
And sing it as blue as I feel
If a tear should appear it's because she's not here
Sing a sad song and sing it for me

She's unhappy with me she told me so
I'm unhappy without her
And I still love her so
Oh sing me a song of sadness
Pretend it's the end of the world
Sing it sweet and sing it low
And then I'll have to go sing a sad song
And sing it for me

Sing it sweet and sing it low
And then I'll have to go sing a sad song
And sing it for me

Penthouse Serenade (When We're Alone)


Penthouse Serenade (When We're Alone)
Composer(s): Val Burton; Will Jason
Performer(s): Bob Hope



Just picture a penthouse way up in the sky
With hinges on chimneys for stars to go by
A sweet slice of Heaven for just you and I
When we're alone

From all of society, we'll stay aloof
And live in propriety there on the roof
Two heavenly hermits we will be in truth
When we're all alone

We'll use life's mad pattern
As we view old Manhattan
Then we can thank our lucky stars
That we're living as we are

In our little penthouse we'll always contrive
To keep love and romance forever alive
In view of the Hudson just over the drive
When we're alone

Aurinko Laskee Länteen


Aurinko Laskee Länteen
First performance by: Viktor Klimenko - 1965



Aamulla aurinko nousi taivaani kirkastaen
purppura pilvissä sousi täyttymys unelmien

Nyt aurinko laskee länteen
saapunut ilta jo on
Aurinko laskee länteen
aurinko rakkaudeton

Uskonut illan en koskaan
saapuvan äkkiä näin
kunnes näin sinisen linnun
lentävän etelää päin

Näin sen ja ymmärsin sen
poissa aika on rakkauden
kun aurinko laskee länteen

Onneni auringon luulin
taivaalle seisahtaneen
kunnes näin sammuvan välkkeen
kuohussa tulisen veen

Näin sen ja ymmärsin sen
poissa aika on rakkauden
kun aurinko laskee länteen
kun aurinko laskee länteen

Penthouse Pauper


Penthouse Pauper
Composer(s): John Fogerty
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival; Molly Hatchet



Now, if I was a bricklayer
I wouldn't build just anything
And if I was a ball player
I wouldn't play no second string
And if I were some jew'lry, baby
Lord, I'd have to be a diamond ring

If I were a secret, Lord, I never would be told
If I were a jug of wine, Lord, my flavor would be old
I could be most anything
But it got to be twenty-four karat solid gold, oh

If I were a gambler
You know I'd never lose
And if I were a guitar player
Lord, I'd have to play the blues

If I was a hacksaw
My blade would be razor sharp
If I were a politician, I could prove that monkeys talk
You can find the tallest building
Lord, I'd have me the house on top

Oh, let's go!
All right, keep goin'!

I'm the Penthouse Pauper
I got nothin' to my name
I'm the Penthouse Pauper; baby
I got nothing to my name
I can be most anything
'Cause when you got nothin' it's all the same

Oh, let's move to this song!
Lord, look at my penthouse
