You Put Something Better Inside Of Me
You Put Something Better Inside Of Me
Composer(s): Joe Egan; Gerry Rafferty
Performer(s): Stealers Wheel;
Roger Daltrey; Ted Neeley; Gerry Rafferty
You put something better inside of me
You put something better inside of me
I could look out the window or stare at the wall
But really it didn't matter, no, I just didn't care at all
Could be sitting by the water, counting every stone
'Cause nothing means nothing when you're empty and on your own
But you put something better inside of me
You put something better inside of me
Makes me so much stronger
I'm amazed at the change in me
Well, I knew what I was doing, I was running away
Busy going nowhere, just wasting the time of day
Walking down the road, kicking up the stones
Nothing means nothing when you're empty and on your own
But you put something better inside of me
You put something better inside of me
Makes me so much stronger
I'm amazed at the change in me

Old Folks at Home (Swanee River)
Composer(s): Stephen C. Foster
Performer(s): Paul Robeson
and multiple other artists
Way down upon the Swanee River
Far, far away
That's where my heart is yearning ever
Home where the old folks stay
Way down upon the Swanee River
Far, far away-hey
Wo, that's where my heart is yearning ever
Home where the old folks stay
All up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
I'm a still a-longin' for the old plantation
Oh, for the old folks at home
Ah-oh-oh!
Oh, my my!
Well, way down upon the Swanee River
Far, far away-hey
Wo, that's where my heart is yearning ever
Home where the old folks stay
All up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
I'm still a-longin' for the old plantation
And for the old folks at home
All the world is sad and dreary
Ev'rywhere I roam
Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home
Far from the old folks at home
Far from the old folks at home
Far from the old folks at home

You Pull My Tongue Out
You Pull My Tongue Out
Composer(s): Carl Finch
Performer(s): Brave Combo
You make me love you
I don't want to
You make me love you
When I don't even want you around
You hold my head back
And pull my tongue out
You make me kiss you
And smile when I'd rather frown
You make me think I'm happy
But I'm much too smart
'Cause just about the time I'm into you
just about the time I'm hearing you
just about the time I can't leave you
You leave me with a broken heart
So turn your light off
don't tempt me
Turn your light off
Whenever I'm passing by
You make me love you
I don't want to
You make me love you
And smile when I'd rather cry
You make me think I'm happy
But I'm much too smart
'Cause just about the time I'm into you
just about the time I'm feeling you
just about the time I can't leave you
You leave me with a broken heart.
HEY!
So turn your light off
Don't tempt me
Turn your light off
Whenever I'm passing by
You hold my head back
And pull my tongue out
You make me kiss you
And smile when I'd rather cry
You make me think I'm happy
But I'm much too smart
'Cause just about the time I'm into you
just about the time I'm feeling you
just about the time I can't leave you
You leave me with a broken heart!
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Yeah!

Swanee Blues
Swanee Blues
Composer(s): J. Milton Decamp - Frank Goodman
Performer(s): J. Milton Decamp
I've seen the Swanee River flow along
I've heard a Swanee bird sing out it's song
To you that may be just a melody
But its beautiful music to me
The Swanee Moon that's shining up above
Just seems to bless my Swanee home with love
My Swanee friends were always true
The name of Swanee makes me blue
I've been away so very long it seems
But I'm in Swanee every night in dreams
Why must I be wandering all around
Down in Swanee there's happiness found
I've longed to breathe that Swanee atmosphere
Where smiling faces filled my heart with cheer
More fragrant is the Swanee Rose
Than any other flow'r that grows
I always seem to get the Swanee Blues
When my Mammy sends me Southern news
My heart beats so fast I find
Dixie scenes are on my mind
I can't stay longer, something stronger
Calls me to that Swanee shore
there's a "Bay of Sunshine" whom I long to see
She has made the Swanee, Paradise to me
So there is no more time to lost
And I'll shake my wand'ring shoes
for I am going back to cure my Swanee Blues

Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart
Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart
Composer(s): James F. Hanley
Performer(s): Judy Garland;
and various other artists
(Intro)
Never could carry a tune, never knew where to start
You came along when everything was wrong and put a song in my heart
Dear when you smiled at me, I heard a melody
It haunted me from the start
Something inside of me started a symphony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
'Twas like a breath of spring, I heard a robin sing
About a nest set apart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
Your eyes made skies seem blue again
What else could I do again
But keep repeating through and through
"I love you, love you"
I still recall the thrill, guess I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody devine
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
(instrumental)
Dear when you smiled at me, I heard a melody

Zing! Went the strings of my heart
'Twas like a breath of spring, I heard a robin sing

Zing! Went the strings of my heart
Your eyes made skies seem blue again
What else could I do again?
But keep repeating through and through
"I love you, love you"
I still recall the thrill, I guess I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody devine
Zing! Oh, Oh, Oh went the strings of my heart

Swanee
Composer(s): Irving Caeser - George Gershwin
Performer(s): Judy Garland
and multiple other artists
I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd miss you so
Somehow I feel, your love was real
Near you I long to be
The birds are singing, it is song time
The banjo's strummin' soft and low
I know that you yearn for me too
Swanee you're calling me
Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I even know my
Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up North will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee shore
Swanee, Swanee I am coming back to Swanee
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home
Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-X-I even know my Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee shore

Zoum, Zoum, Zoum
Zoum, Zoum, Zoum
Italian & Spanish Title:
Zum, Zum, Zum
Composer(s):
Antonio Amurri; Armand Canfora
Performer(s): Dalida
Déjà il vous est arrivé
D'entendre comme
un air de fête
Ce refrain qui dans votre tête
Fait du tintamarre
comme une fanfare
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
C'est une chanson qui trotte dans la tête
On ne sait où elle commence où elle s'arrête
Mais sans fin elle revient
Et vous poursuit soir et matin
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Je sais bien que mes amis la trouvent bête
Et pourtant chacun leur tour ils la répètent
Au téléphone ou dans la rue
Allo bonjour comment vas-tu
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Cela devient une obsession
Qui dès le matin me dévore
Et chaque nuit c'est pire encore
Car je dis je t'aime en chantant quand même
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
C'est une chanson qui trotte dans ma tête
Je ne sait où elle commence où elle s'arrête
Mais sans fin elle revient et me poursuit soir et matin
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Je ne sais d'où elle vient mais quand j'y pense
Je revois les marronniers de mon enfance
Et dans la rue un cœur d'enfant
Sortant de l'école en chantant
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
{Instrumental}
Quand une chanson vous trotte dans la tête
On ne sait où ça commence où ça s'arrête
Je crois bien que dès demain
Chacun reprendra mon refrain
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum, zoum, zoum
Zoum, zoum

S. Fain; P.F. Webster; P. Els
Performer(s): Ann Christy
Zoveel mooier
Altijd mooier
Steeds maar weer (steeds maar weer)
Steeds maar weer (steeds maar weer)
Mooi kan nog veel mooier zijn
Voor wie de pracht ervan wil zien
Te goed kan zoveel beter zijn
Alleen moet jij dit willen zien
Oeh, rood kan nog veel rooier
Geef zelf de glans aan iedere kleur
Met een beetje goed humeur
Kan mooi nog zoveel mooier zijn
Loop door 't leven met een groot penseel
Voeg er hier en daar wat vreugde bij
Als jij je kaarten dan goed speelt
Dan kan mooi nog zoveel mooier voor je zijn
Zoveel mooier
Altijd mooier
Steeds maar weer (steeds maar weer)
Oeh, steeds maar weer (steeds maar weer)
Mooi kan zoveel mooier zijn
Als jij er zelf ook wat voor doet
Jij kan ook gelukkig zijn
Maar ga, ga geluk dan tegemoet
Oh, ga tot leven als een tovenaar
Die de dingen altijd mooier maakt
Wees een vriend voor al die van je houdt
En mooi zal zoveel mooier
Mooi zal nog veel mooier
Mooi zal zoveel mooier voor je zijn
Zoveel mooier
Altijd mooier
Altijd mooier
Altijd mooier
Altijd mooier

Well, I’d wanna live with the hound dogs

Zu Potsdam Unter Den Eichen
Zu Potsdam Unter Den Eichen
Composer(s): Bertolt Brecht; Kurt Weill
Performer(s): Ute Lemper; Lotte Lenya
Zu Potsdam unter den Eichen
Im hellen Mittag ein Zug
Vorn eine Trommel und hinten eine Fahn
In der Mitte einen Sarg man trug
Zu Potsdam unter den Eichen
Im hundertjährigen Staub
Da trugen sechse einen Sarg
Mit Helm und Eichenlaub
Und auf dem Sarg mit Mennigerot
Da war geschrieben ein Reim
Die Buchstaben sahen häßlich aus:
"Jedem Krieger sein Helm!"
Das war zum Angedenken
An manchen toten Mann
Geboren in der Heimat
Gefallen am Chemin des Damen.
Gekrochen einst mit Herz und Hand
Dem Vaterland auf den Leim
Belohnt mit dem Sarge vom Vaterland:
Jedem Krieger sein Heim!
So zogen sie durch Potsdam
Für den Mann am Chemim des Dames
Da kam die grüne Polizei
Und haute sie zusamm’

Suzie Lightning
Suzie Lightning
Composer(s): Warren Zevon
Performer(s): Warren Zevon; Robb Johnson
She only sleeps on planes
She's tired of gong nowhere
She's in Yugoslavia
Working on a miniseries
Suzie Lightning
I built a world for her
Suzie lightning
I need a girl from earth
She's in Hungary
She sends postcards home
Does she think of me?
I'm in Hollywood
Suzie Lightning
Takes no prisoners
Suzie Lightning
No use crying about it
No use trying to hold on
She lights the sky up
Then she's gone
She don't have time for love
She don't need me now
Can't she see I'm burning up
Burning down, burning out
Suzie Lightning
I built a world for her
Suzie Lightning
I need a girl from earth

Zucayan
Composer(s):Maurice Vallet; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Les filons furent épuisés
Avant d'être mis à jour
Ils furent exploités
Avant même d'exister
Chorus : Zucayan
À Zucayan
À Zucayan
Les chercheurs ont jeté
Leurs pioches et leurs tamis
L'or est devenu sourd
À leur triste folie
Zucayan
À Zucayan
À Zucayan
Les sales et mauvaises fleurs
Ont envahi les rues
Les plantes carnivores
S'installent sur les balcons
Zucayan
Les hommes se sont tus
Ils ont fui leur maison
Et sont partis ailleurs
Refaire fortune encore
Zucayan
Tout seul je suis resté
Parmi les indiens bleus
Les lianes enchevêtrées
Et les anciennes mines
Zucayan
Ma barbe pousse lentement
Et la couleur de mes yeux
Se délave dans le temps
De ma mémoire en ruine
Zucayan
Je vieillirai sans joie
Auprès des piranhas
Et je finirai roi
De sauvages trop sages
Zucayan
Au moment du voyage
Je retrouverai les mines
Je redécouvrirai les filons
Je redeviendrai riche

Suzie Baby
Composer(s): Bobby Vee
Performer(s): Bobby Vee
Suzie baby, where are you?
Have you left me for someone new?
Is your lovelight shinin' bright?
Will you love me or leave me tonight?
Suzie baby, don't you know
That I love you and want you so?
Come back baby, come back home
Say you'll love me & never again roam
Suzie baby, I love you
Say you'll come back and love me too
Since you left me, gone away
I've been lonely, alone each day
Suzie baby, where are you?
Have you left me for someone new?
Suzie baby, don't you know
That I love you and want you so?
Someday baby, you'll be blue
And you'll wish that you'd die for me too

Zum, Zum, Zum
Zum Zum Zum
French Title: Zoum, Zoum, Zoum
Composer(s): Antonio Amurri;
Armand Canfora; Ed. Curci
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan
Sarà capitato anche a voi
Di avere una musica in testa
Sentire una specie di orchestra
Suonare suonare suonare suonare
Zum zum zum zum zum
La canzone che mi passa per la testa
Non so bene cosa sia, dove e quando l'ho sentita
Di sicuro so soltanto che fa zum zum zum zum…
L'ho cantata stamattina appena sveglia
E cantandola ho pensato che non è poi tanto male
Specialmente nel pezzetto che fa zum zum zum zum…
Sapessi almeno cos'è
Mi sembra un concerto per piano
O un pezzo per tanti, ma tanti violini
La canzone che mi passa per la testa
Questa notte l'ho sognata mi sembrava di sentire mille arpe
Che facevano zum zum zum zum zum…
Più ci penso e più mi sembra che sia un cor
Un coretto di bambini che la canta nel cortile di una scuola
Ripetendo sempre zum zum zum zum…
Però se va avanti così finisce che questa canzone
Diventa una tale ossessione che parlo soltanto
Facendo ogni tanto zum zum zum zum…
La canzone che mi passa per la testa
Mi rimbomba come fossero cannoni
Come un mucchio di tamburi e di tromboni
Che fa zum zum zum zum zum…
Stamattina la cantavo io soltanto
Ma stasera già mi sembra di sentire chiaramente
Tanta gente che la canta insieme a me
Zum zum zum zum zum .....

Suzi Girl
Suzi Girl
Composer(s): Lolly Vegas
Performer(s): Redbone
I, I hear a sound inside my head
I gotta know it, it's a product of my invention
Power of your suggestion
Thirty-two bars of electric guitars
And a choir of angels remounding the milky way
That's how I feel when I'm with you, Suzi girl
Suzi girl, you're my world
And I think about you, think about you all day long
Suzi girl, you're my whole wide world
And I think about just loving you the whole day long
Free, free as the sun up in the sky
Free as a bird I fly away into new directions
Making unreal corrections
Swooping in air at impossible speeds
And I head for the moon
And I'm there in a flash of light
That's how I feel when I'm with you, Suzi girl
Suzi girl, you're my world
And I think about you, think about you all day long
Suzi girl, you're my whole wide world
And I think about just loving you the whole day long
I, I see a carnaval of joy
I smell the cotton, then the merry-go-round illusion
There is no right conclusion
People play games for a cuddly toy
And a marching band plays for the children who laugh with me
That's how I feel when I'm with you, Suzi girl
Suzi girl, you're my world
And I think about you, think about you all day long
Suzi girl, you're my whole wide world
And I think about…

Tanto quehacer en la quebrada y en el llano
Tanto sembrar porque no falte el pan de trigo
Tanto bregar con la tormenta y el verano
El indio se olvido de cantar
El indio se olvido de pensar en lo divino
Tanto sudar por mantener el fuego vivo
Tanto labrar y cepillar bien la madera
Tanto subir y descender por los abismos
El indio se olvido de cantar
El indio se olvido de rezar de esta manera
Zurai, zurai, zurai, zurai zurita, zurai zurita
Mi virgencita pequeña, criolla, cobriza
Zurai zurita, zurai zurita
Yo no me olvido de ti zuray zurita
Zurai zurita, zurai zurita
Mi virgencita pequeña, criolla, cobriza
Zurai zurita, zurai zurita
Yo no me olvido de ti zuray zurita
Tanto gritar por conducir bien el ganado
Tanto dormir en cualquier parte del camino
Tanto llorar y suspirar en solitario
El indio se olvido de cantar
El indio se olvido de pensar en lo divino
Tanto mirar porque no queme el sol el trigo
Tanto cuidar que no se pierda la cosecha
Tanto luchar de sol a sol porque es preciso
El indio se olvido de cantar
El indio se olvido de rezar de esta manera
Zurai, zurai, zurai, zurai zurita, zurai zurita
Mi virgencita pequeña, criolla, cobriza
Zurai zurita, zurai zurita
Yo no me olvido de ti zuray zurita

Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him spoil your heart
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him put us apart
Did you say we got apart
Or did you say let's go for a walk
Did you say you got someone new
Or did you say you like the colour of hue
I don't know what's goin' on
You're not the girl I used to know
You're turnin' my world upside down
Brandin' me with a frown - e-ey
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him spoil your heart
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him put us apart
Did you say you're leaving town
Or did you say you're stickin' around
Did you say you're serious
Or did you say it's all a bluff
Why do you wanna change our dreams
All the things we've planned and schemed
Do you really wanna go
Or is it just an overnight goal - e-ey
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him spoil your heart
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him put us apart, no no
Did you say we got apart
Or did you say let's go for a walk
Did you say you got someone new
Or did you say you like the colour of hue
I don't know what's goin' on
You're not the girl I used to know
You're turnin' my world upside down
Brandin' me with a frown - ey-ey
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him spoil your heart - yeah-hey
Suzanne beware of the devil, oho, don't let him put us apart ...
