People's Parties
People's Parties
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell
All the people at this party
They've got a lot of style
They've got stamps of many countries
They've got passport smiles
Some are friendly
Some are cutting
Some are watching it from the wings
Some are standing in the centre
Giving to get something
Photo Beauty gets attention
Then her eye paint's running down
She's got a rose in her teeth
And a Iampshade crown
One minute she's so happy
Then she's crying on someone's knee
Saying laughing and crying
You know it's the same release
I told you when I met you
I was crazy
Cry for us all Beauty
Cry for Eddie in the corner
Thinking he's nobody
And Jack behind his joker
And stone-cold Grace behind her fan
And me in my frightened silence
Thinking I don't understand
I feel like I'm sleeping
Can you wake me
You seem to have a broader sensibility
I'm just living on nerves and feelings
With a weak and a lazy mind
And coming to peoples parties
Fumbling deaf dumb and blind
I wish I had more sense ot humor
Keeping the sadness at bay
Throwing the lightness on these things
Laughing it all away
Laughing it alI away
Laughing it all away

Sing Another Song, Boys
Sing Another Song, Boys
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
Performer(s): Leonard Cohen
Ah his fingernails, I see they're broken
his ships they're all on fire
The moneylender's lovely little daughter
ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire
She spies him through the glasses
from the pawnshops of her wicked father
She hails him with a microphone
that some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her
She tempts him with a clarinet
she waves a Nazi dagger
She finds him lying in a heap
she wants to be his woman
He says, "Yes, I might go to sleep
but kindly leave, leave the future, leave it open"
He stands where it is steep
oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one
his hand upon his leather belt now
like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner
And she will learn to touch herself so well
as all the sails burn down like paper
And he has lit the chain of his famous cigarillo
Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon
at least not the one that we're after
it's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends
and it carries no survivors
But lets leave these lovers wondering
why they cannot have each other
and let's sing another song, boys
this one has grown old and bitter

People Will Say We're In Love
People Will Say We're In Love
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Spike Jones;
and various other artists
Don't throw bouquets at me
Don't please my folks too much
Don't laugh at my jokes too much
People will say we're in love
Don't sigh and gaze at me
Your sighs are so like mine
And your eyes mustn't glow like mine
People will say we're in love
Don't start collecting things
Give me my rose and my glove
Well, sweetheart, they're suspecting things
People will say we're in love

Ce Soir Je T'attendais
Ce Soir Je T'attendais
Composer(s): J. Chaumelle - B. Kesslair
First performance by: Michèle Torr - 1966
Le vent peut bien secouer les branches
Sur la rue les volets sont clos
Sur une nappe blanche
Quelques roses se penchent
Sur un couvert dressé pour deux
La mélodie que tu préfères
Repose sur le bord du piano
Tout est prêt je l'espère
Je n'ai plus rien à faire
Que d'ouvrir car j'entends ton pas
Et te voilà mais ne prends pas l'air étonné
Car je savais et je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais
J'étais si sûre que tu viendrais
Oui je savais et je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais
J'avais raison de t'espérer
Nous nous sommes fait beaucoup de peine
On s'est quittés pour quelques mots
C'est de l'histoire ancienne
Je sais bien que tu m'aimes
C'est pourquoi je guettais ton pas
Et me voilà là devant toi
Tendant les bras
Car je savais et je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais
J'étais si sûre que tu viendrais
Oui je savais et je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais
J'avais raison de t'espérer
Oui je savais et je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais
Pour te garder à tout jamais
Oui je savais et je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais
Ce soir je t'attendais!

People Talkin'
People Talkin'
Composer(s): Lucinda Williams
Performer(s): Lucinda Williams
People...trying to tear us apart
Trying to rip out my heart
People talkin'
People talkin'
Livin' is full of misery and pain
Somebody called you a dirty name
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'
I love you more than this cruel world will ever know
I wanna be your girl forever
I don't wanna let you go
If I could change things
I would die and return
Another name and
Knowin' everything I've learned
People talkin'
People talkin'
All of my life
I have tried to get along
All I ever hear now
Is gossip and waggin' tongues
I have suffered and I've cried myself to sleep
I have wandered down these highways and dirty streets
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'
People tryin' to tear us apart
Tryin' to rip out my heart
People talkin'
People talkin
Livin' is full of misery and pain
Somebody called you a dirty name
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'
People talkin
People talkin'
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'
People talkin'
People talkin'
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'
People talkin'

Sing An Ode To Love
Sing An Ode To Love
Composer(s): Harris Chalkitis; Alec R. Costandinos; Lakis Vlavianos
Performer(s): Demis Roussos
See the children playing
Hear the sounds of virgin minds
Come hear what they're saying
There's so much to find
Count how many pages
Hoped and dreamed with clovers found
Reaped in different phrases
One wish going round
Friend come sit beside me
fearing me not, for I am you
Friend come walk beside me
There's so much to do
Sing the song so clearly
Make the words rise above
Mean each line sincerely
Sing an ode to love
Make your heart a shelter
For someone who's lost his way
Make the sun shine brighter
With each word you say
Sing the song so clearly
Make the words rise above
Mean each line sincerely
Sing an ode to love
Sing an ode to love
Love

People Make The World Go Round
People Make The World Go Round
Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed
Performer(s): The Stylistics
Trashmen didn't get my trash today
Oh, why?
Because they want more pay
Buses on strike want a raise in fare
So they can help pollute the air
But that's what makes the world go 'round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they'll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go 'round
Wall Street losin' dough on ev'ry share
They're blaming it on longer hair
Big men smokin' in their easy chairs
On a fat cigar without a care
But that's what makes the world go 'round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they'll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go 'round
But that's what makes the world go 'round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they'll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round

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

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
