Something About The Way You Look Tonight


Something About The Way You Look Tonight
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John
and multiple other artists



There was a time
I was everything and nothing all in one
When you found me
I was feeling like a cloud across the sun

I need to tell you
How you light up every second of the day
But in the moonlight
You just shine like a beacon on the bay

And I can't explain
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside
And I can't describe
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
The way you look tonight

With a smile
You pull the deepest secrets from my heart
In all honesty
I'm speechless and I don't know where to start

Up To Me


Up To Me
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



Take you to the cinema
and leave you in a Wimpy Bar
you tell me that we've gone to far
come running up to me
Make the scene at Cousin Jack's
leave him put the bottles back
mends his glasses that I cracked
well that one's up to me
Buy a silver cloud to ride
pack the tennis club inside
trouser cuffs hung far too wide
well it was up to me
Tyres down on your bicicle
your nose feels like an icicle
the yellow fingered smoky girl
is looking up to me
Well I'm a common working man
with a half of butter bread and jam
and if it pleases me I'll put one one you man
when the copper fades away
The rainy season comes to pass
the day-glo pirate sinks at last
and if I laughed a bit too fast
Well it was up to me

Bandido


Bandido
Composer(s): Jose L. Abel - Raul Orellana - J. Stinus
First performance by: Azúcar Moreno - 1990



La luna me embrujó y me llevó hasta ti, veneno del amor que yo feliz bebí
Y aunque mi pecho ardió y me abrasó la piel, me supo dulce como la miel

Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón
Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión

Y ahora cada vez que de mi lado te vas, siento el dolor crecer más y más

Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón
Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión

Así que abrázame con furia de huracán, que el fuego de tu amor sea como un volcán
Y luego bésame, atrápame en tu red, que al fin tus labios colmen mi sed

Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón
Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión

Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón
Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión

Up Where We Belong


Up Where We Belong
Composer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie;
Will Jennings; Jack Nitzsche
Performer(s): Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes;
The Starsound Orch.; Tramaine Hawkins; Glen Campbell



Who knows what tomorrow brings
in a world where few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real
I keep it alive

The road is long
There are mountains in the way
but we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
where the eagles cry
on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
far from the world we know
up where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to used to be
live their lives looking behind
When all we have is here and now
All our lives
out there to find

The road is long
There are mountains in the way
but we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
where the eagles cry
on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
far from the world we know
up where the clear winds blow

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive... today

Love lift us up where we belong
where the eagles cry
on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
far from the world we know
up where the clear winds blow

(Repeat Chorus)

Up, Up And Away


Up, Up And Away
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): The 5th Dimension;
and various other artists



Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hide us
We'll keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Balloon ...
Up, up, and away.....

Quelqu'un m'a tendu la main
Quand j'étais seule avec ma peine
Quelqu'un a changé toute ma vie
Et je n'oublierai pas ce qu'il a fait pour moi

Quelqu'un est venu vers moi
Et m'a parlé avec tendresse
Je m'souviens des mots qu'il a dit
Il parlait d'amitié, d'amour, de liberté

Et depuis ce jour merveilleux
Pour nous deux où tout est bleu
On est chaque jour plus heureux
Pour nous deux où tout est bleu

Quelqu'un est venu ce soir
Et il a dit les mots qu'il fallait dire
Quelqu'un s'est glissé dans ma vie
Et c'est depuis ce jour
Que je sais ce qu'est l'amour

Ups And Downs


Ups And Downs
Composer(s): Mark Lindsay; Terry Melcher
Performer(s): Paul Revere & The Raiders;
and various other artists



Now, things was looking golden, baby
Everything was fine
You never made no sign
That you had changed your mind

I guess I was mistaken, girl
To count so on you
What else could I do
Time to pay my dues

Well girl, I've been torn up before
But I can't handle that once more
Well I been down for a long long time
And now it's time to reach my mind
There's lots of pain upon this earth
Girl, I've had my money's worth
I have had my ups and downs and all around

Girl, I've tried to change your way of thinkin'
Tried to make you see
Well, livin' here with me
Is where you ought to be

But it didn't seem to make no difference
It never changed your world
Or stopped your social twirl
You're still the same old girl

And now, I've been torn up before
But I can't handle that once more
I been down for a long long time
But now it's time to reach my mind
'Cause there's lots of pain upon this earth
And girl, I've had my money's worth
I have had my ups and downs and all around

I've been up, down, all around now baby (up, down, all around)
I've been up, I been down, I been all around now baby (up, down, all around)
Yeah we've both been up and down and all around baby(up, down, all around)
You go up, you go down, you go all around now baby (up, down, all around)
Yes, I'm up, I'm down, all around now baby (up, down, all around)
Up and down and all around

Flieger


Flieger
First performance by: Nino De Angelo - 1989



Du und ich
wir sind so hoch geflogen vor gar nicht langer Zeit

ein Flugzeug voll mit jungen Träumen stand für uns bereit
Das mit uns war so groß
wir eroberten den Himmel

warum liess't du mich nur los ohne Fallschirm in der Nacht?

Ich hab' die Zeit nie ganz vergessen
als wir noch Flieger war'n

du gehst nicht raus aus meinem Herzen
ich denk' nur noch daran
Du hast oft gesagt
wir sind stark
wir zwei

so was geht doch nicht einfach so vorbei

Ich hab' die Zeit nie ganz vergessen
als wir noch Flieger war'n

Würd' es gern nochmal mit dir erleben
so'n Flug ins Abendrot

würde gern nochmal mein Herz riskieren
sogar bis in den Tod.
Das mit uns war so groß
so was gibt es nur noch selten

werden wir nur einmal noch auf den Wolken uns verlier'n?

Ich hab' die Zeit nie ganz vergessen
als wir noch Flieger war'n

du gehst nicht raus aus meinem Herzen
ich denk' nur noch daran
Du hast oft gesagt
wir sind stark
wir zwei

so was geht doch nicht einfach so vorbei

Ich hab' die Zeit

Somethin' Else


Somethin' Else
((French Version: Elle Est Terrible (Johnny Hallyday) - 1963)) Composer(s): Sharon Sheeley - Eddie Cochran First release by: Eddie Cochran - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists



A look a-there, here she comes
There comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since I don't know when
But she don't notice me when I pass
She goes with all the guys from outa my class
But that can't stop me from a-thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin' man, she's something else

Hey, look a-there, across the street
There's a car made just for me
To own that car would be a luxery
But my dollar can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is outa my class
But that can't stop me from a—thinkin' to myself
That car's fine lookin' man, it's something else

Hey, look a—here, just wait and see
Worked hard and saved my dough
I'll buy that car that I been wanting so
Get me that girl and we'll go ridin' around
We'll look real sharp with the flight top down
I keep right on a-dreamin' and a-thinkin' to myself
When it all comes true man, wow, that's something else

Look a-there, what's all this
Never thought I'd do this before
But here I am a-knockin' on her door
My car's out front and it's all mine
Just a forty-one Ford, not a fifty-nine
I got that girl an' I'm a-thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin' man, wow, she's something else

Uptight (Everything's Alright)


Uptight (Everything's Alright) ((French Version: Les Coups) (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1966)) Composer(s): Stevie Wonder - Henry Cosby - Sylvia Rose Moy First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists



Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight

I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks
The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back
But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy
Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye
When we go out stepping on the town for a while
My money's low and my suit's out of style

But it's all right if my clothes aren't new
Out of sight because my heart is true
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight

I'm a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say
I guess her folks brought her up that way
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised
In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids
No one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy

No football hero or smooth Don Juan
Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poorman's son
She says give her the things that money can buy
But I'll never, never make my baby cry

And it's all right, what I can't do
Out of sight because my heart is true
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight

Það Sem Enginn Sér


Það Sem Enginn Sér
Composer(s): Valgeir Guðjónsson
First performance by: Daníel Ágúst Haraldsson - 1989



Lýstu mina leið, lostafulli gamli máni
Þótt gatan virðist greið er samt ýmislegt sem enginn sér
Veröldin er full af fólki í leit að hamingjunni
Sem glóir eins og gull í glætunni, ó tungl, frá þér

Horfðu aftur í augun á mér
Horfðu aftur, ég bíð eftir þér
Horfðu aftur í augun á mér
Og þú færð að sjá það sem enginn sér

Allir eiga þrá um eitthvað sem þeir engum segja
Ég ætla ef ég má að eiga leyndarmál með þér
Lýstu mina leið, ó, þú lostafulli gamli máni
Þótt gatan virðist greið er samt ýmislegt sem enginn sér

Horfðu aftur í augun á mér
Horfðu aftur, ég bíð eftir þér
Horfðu aftur í augun á mér
Og þú færð að sjá það sem enginn sér

Horfðu aftur í augun á mér
Horfðu aftur, ég bíð eftir þér
Horfðu aftur í augun á mér
Og þú færð að sjá það sem enginn sér

Composer(s): Roy Orbison; Joe Melson
Performer(s): Roy Orbison; Robert Gordon



Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, there lives a doll just made for me
She's the finest thing that you've ever seen, oh ho ha
Uptown, I see her most every day
Uptown, but she never ever looks my way
I'm just a bellhop, you see I can't stop
And tell her what I wanna say
That one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever-lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes
And then I'll be
Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me
Yeah, one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever-lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes
And then I'll be
Uptown, in penthouse number three

Somesay


Somesay
Composer(s): Rob Jones - Pete Wylie
The Mighty Wah!



Somesay they offer a choice...
Somesay - to fall or be punished
Somesay we must end up nowhere
But they - their lives must be hushed!

Tired of looking in mirrors, seeing things I'll never be...
Angry with the figureheads who send us up blind alleys...
Bug guns come blasting - I'll have to stay and fight...
Big hooks are coming and the little fish they bite

Somesay: "these things aren't for long"
Somesay - but history will tell
Somesay - what's happened is just the start
Somesay - less pain when we yell!

Talk about the future, listen to the past
Dance dance dance dance to the music of the last chance man
He's died a dozen deaths - he'll die a dozen more
Trouble from the start with a mind like yours

Somesay: "The truth is in check"
Somesay: "It's black or it's white"
Somesay - the secret's to not turn back...
Somesay - Stay! it's time for the fight!
Fight the liars!
Fight the liars!
Ain't it the truth!

Uptown (The Crystals)


Uptown
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): The Crystals; Little Eva



He gets up each morning and he goes downtown
Where everyone's his boss and he's lost in an angry land
He's a little man
But then he comes uptown each evenin' to my tenement
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent
And when he's there with me he can see that he's everything
Then he's tall, he don't crawl, he's a king
Downtown he's just one of a million guys
He don't get no breaks and he takes all they got to give
'Cause he's got to live
But then he comes uptown where he can hold his head up high
Uptown he knows that I am standing by
And when I take his hand, there's no man who could put him down
The world is sweet, it's at his feet, when he's uptown
Whoa-oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah,
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh-yeah
Let me tell ya now
Uptown where he can hold his head up high
Uptown he knows that I am standing by
And when I take his hand, there's no man who could put him down
The world is sweet, it's at his feet, when he's uptown
Whoa- oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Let me tell ya now, uptown..
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Une Star À Sa Façon


Une Star À Sa Façon
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel; Alain Salvati
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Elle vit tout doucement
Pour son homme et ses enfants
Sans jamais trop s'écarter
Des mots que Dieu lui a dicté
C'est quelqu'un dont on ne parle pas
Et je l'aime pour ça
C'est une fleur sur l'horizon
Une star à sa façon
J'ai découvert le matin
Dans la chaleur de ses mains
Et j'ai grandi bien au fond
De son palais de coton
C'est quelqu'un dont on ne parle pas
Et je l'aime pour ça
C'est la reine dans sa maison
Une star à sa façon
Elle m'appelle et puis autour de moi
C'est le printemps à chaque fois
Elle est si belle que je lui ai dit
Les premiers mots de ma vie
Surtout ne me demandez pas
De vous la montrer du doigt
Avec vos yeux d'étranger
Vous n'allez rien remarquer
Mais ce quelqu'un dont on ne parle pas
C'est plus que tu ne crois
C'est le titre de ma chanson
Une star à sa façon
Elle m'appelle et puis autour de moi
C'est le printemps à chaque fois
Elle est si belle que je lui ai dit
Les premiers mots de ma vie

Someone's Taken Maria Away


Someone's Taken Maria Away
Composer(s): Chris Andrews
Performer(s): Adam Faith & The Roulettes; Chris Andrews



Warm was the sun when I first met Marie
A living angel appeared before me
Music played and I was in her arms
I surrendered to her charms
Someone's taken Maria away
Somebody's taken Maria away
She won't come back no more, no, no, no, no

I can't forget how we laughed in the rain
Moments so sweet, will I find them again
I can't say just how much I miss
Her lips being there to kiss
Someone's taken Maria away
Somebody's taken Maria away
She won't come back no more, no, no, no, no

And now she is gone, tears and smile I'll miss them all
No more I'll hear her sweet voice when I call
And if sometimes you should see me cry
It's `cause I'm wonderin' why
Someone's taken Maria away
Somebody's taken Maria away
She won't come back no more, no, no, no, no

Somebody's taken Maria away
Somebody's taken Maria away
She won't come back no more, no, no, no, no

Somebody's taken Maria ...

Une Valse


Une Valse
Composer(s): Jacques Plante; Charles Dumont
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Une valse
Une étrange valse
Tient toute la place
Dans ma rêverie
Et dans ma vie
Elle évoque
Une lointaine époque
Un décor baroque
L'ancienne Russie
Et ses folies
Et j'invente
Une ville immense
Qui chante et qui danse
Le Saint-Pétersbourg
Des nuits blanches

Je m'évade
Roulée dans ces vagues
Touchée par la grâce
Je ferme les yeux
C'est merveilleux...

Et ma valse
Tourne dans les glaces
De tout un palace
D'or et de cristal
Ces soirs de bal
Robe longue
Envol de colombe
La lumière et l'ombre
Tout tourne à la fois
Autour de moi
J'ai la fièvre
De sang sur mes lèvres
Le feu de la fête
Je ne sais plus bien
Si je rêve...

Et je danse
Dans ma robe blanche
Deux doigts sous la manche
D'un jeune aspirant
J'ai dix-sept ans

Cette valse
Ce n'est que la valse
Que l'orchestre en face
Dans ce cabaret
Joue sans arrêt
Mon beau prince
N'est ni grand, ni mince
Dans le froid qui pince
Il fait son métier
C'est le portier
Du ciel pâle
Une neige sale
Descend en rafales
Et tombe sans bruit
Sur Pigalle...

Les enseignes
En lettres qui saignent
S'allument et s'éteignent
Au cœur de Paris
Hôtel de Russie...
Hôtel de Russie...
Hôtel de Russie...
